Subject: Halo weapons in general (not very high tech)

One shot: one kill, zero seconds to live

If you take a technical look at the human weapons in halo they're really not that advance for being 500 years into the future. i mean shouldn't the MC use a gun with a camera mounted on it with digital zoom and laser pinpoint accuracy, and a grenade launcher on the bottom? the grenades should be sticky all on their own too. His suit is pretty high tech, but now we're already design stuff like that (excluding the energy shields of course). if you take a look at today's technology the characters in Halo would have been defeated even now.right now we have railguns, cannons that can hit targets from 5 miles away or more, guns that can fire up to 1,000,000 round per min., and soon particle cannons. we shouldn't be talking about high tech weapons that could be in Halo, but rather weapons that should be in it.

I think Bungie made the human weapons lower tech to give them a more of a human feel. If they had lasers and such every weapon in the game would look like the Coavant made them.

You say tomato; I say potato.

well, todays weapons usually have a smaller caliber, but increased muzzle velocity. generally this doesnt nuturalize your target as much as a hand hald cannon. to the untrained eye, the weopons apear to be a step back. however, a gun is the smallest factor in a massive space or groud assault.
you will notice that coordinated fire and heavy artillery have made tremendous leaps from now to halo.
