qirahs. I doubt Bungie knew how fast we were going to advance in a decade, so they thought of what would be a good estimate. Also, it seems to make sense at there was a period of time where there was peace for 300 years I believe. I doubt people would be focused on advancing weapon technology.
I get what you are trying to say, yea it would be harsh to expect bungie to do this much research, however 540 years is a long time, and it wouldn't take a great leap of logic to guess that the unsc would have some pretty advanced technology by then. The only thing i thought the unsc did well, was thier ship building and the spartan II program, other than that. . . nothing. peace never stops military growth.
Countries never stop producing new technologies just because of peace. Many countries are in times of peace right now, yet there is always the "better safe than sorry" policy. Humanity is a naturally violent species. Yea, but the UNSC is the military. That's one military with no wars. That means there is no need to expand. Look at the MA5 series. It's been in use for a few decades and it's design hasn't changed much. Same with the Pro Pipe, which I believe was made 150 years ago from 2552.
The MA5 is just what I mean, the design for not only that gun, but the sniper rifles and shotguns have changed little in nearly 80 years. 80 years of the same gun, same firing mechanisms. Which is exactly what i'm trying to get at, how do the guns not change in such a huge time period, as the MA5 was used during insurrectionists and the covenant, both major wars the unsc fought yet the gun did not change(the unsc also fought in the inner colony wars about a hundred years earlier). The grenade launcher from reach had been in use for nearly 300 years, through 3 major conflicts and yet never changed.
You think bungie would have made it that a new successor to the gun was produced at least every 20-30 years.
