I think the game would get a bit foolish zipping around with laser beams.

Sometimes wars helps bring out new stuff, world war one helped bring out the first fighting planes and tanks.

Your right about that.

Q. What do you get when you add 1 man, 1 car, and 1 rocket built for a jet?

A. A black smudge on the side of a cliff.

Well, look at this way. When in the last 20 years has there been as great a technilogical advance such as an airplane? Also, war tends to speed Technology ahead very quickly such as in WW2. Or, the Space Race had the same tendency. What I trying to say though is, why are we gonna need lasers if we are still just going to fight against other humans, when ballistics work just as good and are a whole lot cheaper? Also, if the world gets to be uber-peaceful or what ever, why are gonna need any weapons anyway?

Everything now costs alot of money especially research so they probably couldnt be bothered spending money on things which works just as well.

It's accurate to the point that it can't be disproven.

ya what the hell all we have to do against the covenant is use chemical warfare like vx gas to melt thier fing skin off and when we are fighting in space all we have to do is have a demolition team to sneak into the ships when our ships bring thier shields down and plant some mustard gas or somthin to kill all the crew

The MAC gun may be a laser of sorts.

And yeah, Opey could probably win that game without using his BR. Best SMG user in Halo.

It is for balance in multiplayer. Today, we have guns that shoot a million rounds a minute. We even have a pistol version that does that. [watch Future Weapons on Discovery Channel] Imagine trying to use that in multiplayer.

well, for one thing, lasers are actually rather pointless on a battlefield, all a person would need to do is hold a mirror up, and it would just reflect back. The sentinel beam is more likely focused energy of some sort.

Also, I dont see anyone in our time with shaw-fujikawa slipspace jump drive, or an entire intergalatic empire.

lasers to blow up missliles? lol link please? i thought that was just bush blabbering about summit again.

laser guided rockets work by a person shining a laser pen like hing on a target, which the rocket homes too..

also, i was going to say- why fix something that already works... but i though hmm if big rocks work- why make guns.
end of the day.. the reason why i liek teh marines is becase they are outgunned, outnumbered, out teched.. but they still goddam fight for their lives..and were doing well (well lol they kinda lost but still..)

As others have sayd, the humans have bean advansing alot in 30 years since the war started. if the humans had bean at war for the 500 years befor that, they would be way more advansed.

If the humans had been fighting the covies for 500 years, there would be no one left.

they are unadvanced becuase they didn't have forerunner technology to start off of and they dont have lazers bc humans are moving in a direction of balistics

Maybe we were hit with some kinda of pandemic or disastor...that set us back and destroyed mass popluation and citys?

check out my sig...


Bingo! What has probably happened since now and 500 years from now is probably a lot of nuclear warfare and unsettled countries fighitng. There would be no chance to prosper if everyone is killing themselves eh?

Take Ancient Rome for example. It prospered until it became unsteady and collapsed. Some of the technology they had was not matched until the early 1900s! Figure that one out.

Now, why would we be sending millions of people to go live on massive colonies if loads of nuclear warfare is going on back home? You would be sending them to the front lines, not some distant planet!

all i have to say is, the freaking scorpion tank is lame. It's so slow, and fires so slowly! If you've ever seen one of americas tanks in action, you'd know what i'm talking about. The scorpion's a hunk o junk compared to what our armed forces are using now.


How many tanks can be controlled nowadays by 2 humans or one cyborg? And the auto-reload of the main canon is pretty good.... And there's no limit of ammunition so don't you think that it can carry more ammunition than tanks nowadays? (ok that was pretty stupid)

It's true that the US Army is building a laser to shoot missiles. They are putting it in a Boeing 747 cause it's so huge. And the thing takes ages to reload, like an hour or so.

___________________________________________________________


The shield technology used in Mjolnir armor was stolen from the covenant and then humans upgraded it.

And why should humans be using anything else than bullets? If one bullet can kill a man, why should guns shoot lasers?

I don't know about the 747 part, but yes that is true. From what I know, all of the laser things would be stationary and shoot a missle down by blasting the warhead and destroying it in the air before it could do any major damage.

Whoever said that we got MJOLNIR Armor from the covenant is wrong.

The humans invneted that, the one thing that the humans did steal from the covenant was Energy Shield Technology.

I heared about that laser thing but they said it cost to much to use and were making a missile which to do it in stead. There were these huge things which look like golf balls but had satellite dishes in side of them to track missiles. they were on the north york moors.

Scientifics are actually working on laser technology, you can read that in the magazine "Popular Science" and the lasers are going to be invisible, so sorry for not having the sky full of laser colors.

woah guys we have slipspace, mjonor armor that has shields, massive ships and colonization on places billions of billions of billions of light years away. LaserS? The covenant use plasma energy, which today we do not know about. So wtf are you talking about crappy lasers for??

P.S. Read the books.

the only place that hasnt advanced is war but who knows what happened in the halo universe.
Maybe there was peace before the covenant attacked.
