I can almost guarantee that in real life,in 500 years our weapons wont be near as good as perceived in the halo-verse.
That's false statement. Modern weapons are better than halo verse UNSC weapons... Have you even researched the modern weapons compared to UNSC weapons?
You forgot that BODY ARMOR also advances with the weapons of the age, and the fact that during the majority of those years, more scientific research(and funding)went into colonization, NOT warfare.
That actually seems like an acceptable explanation, being that Halo is just a work of fiction like any other it doesn't need PERFECT reasoning for every little thing. If Tech was focused on colonization, weapons advancement could have all but halted for at least a while, plus there is only so much you can do with guns.
No doubt, most of the weapons are very advanced, but I just can't help but feel that in 500 years, things like the accuracy of the Assault Rifle, and the SMG should be way better, or that we will have more directed energy weapons (ie lethal lasers), Or that ground vehicles won't still be using wheels, ie. personal transportation will be something more like what it is in Mass Effect, if you will.
....there's still that freaking pump-shotgun, though...
The accuracy can be slammed into the "gameplay balance" area.
And yes, for a large portion of those 500 years, there was zero conflict. Aka, zero weapon development/research.
And yeah, somebody did make a post which explained how the assault rifle was better then an AK-47, it got ignored however.
