Subject: Dumbass questions about Halo

I must go now, my planet needs me.

1. How do the UNSC troopers aim the Assualt Rifle? Do they have that little thing Spartans and ODST's have, or do they(in the actual universe)use the tacticle rail to mount scopes on.
2. A carbine is a shortend version of a rifle, so is there a full version of the Covenant Carbine?
3. How do the Covenant aim their plasma weapons?
Sorry for any spelling or grammatical errors in the post.

they aren't dumbass,
1. they have a little green eye piece thing other 2 no sure

Don't most of the marines have a piece over their eye that would more than likely show where they're aiming? helmet. most likely they don't need the rails for attachments

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

3.) Play as an Elite in Halo: Reach with any plasma weapon. You'll see.

I'm gonna finish it. Just like Jigga did to the pyramid.

Lol you just ruined halo...thanks

I reject your reality and substitute my own.

1. already stated the eye piece.
2. I would say the beam rifle from halo 3 would be the full version just without the semiauto.
3. I don't know.

Yer, but Grunts don't have that.
Also, not all the Troopers have that eye piece

We should know better, because we are better.

1. Integrated HUD. The weapon links with that green eye-piece you see. Some models have flip-up sights, IIRC.
2. There was never any mention of a full version.
3. Why aim when you can have MOAR DAKKA? In all seriousness, some Covie weapons do have scopes (Carbine) on them and some also have aim assist (Needler).

"At the end of this day one shall stand, one shall fall"

So, Death or Bungie?

1. Marines have that little HUD over their eye.
2. Yet to be announced i guess. A carbine is a human type of weapon, but covenant weapons are obviously different.
3. Jackals, Hunters, elites, and some brutes have HUDs. I'm not sure about engineers, and drones. Im pretty sure grunts dont have anything, why do you think they suck in combat?

  • 02.10.2012 2:27 PM PDT

Most marines have a little green HUD, but we don't see that on all marines. The Assault rifle is the only gun that doesn't really have a built in site, I wonder if that is integrated somehow in a way we don't know.


Also, very good question about the carbine.
(some people don't seem to understand the question... Covenant Carbine is the human name for the gun, and a carbine model is a shortened version of a larger primary model. SOOO the humans naming it the Covenant Carbine implies that there is a larger model)


Grunts mostly use plasma pistols (which have sights) and Needlers or Plasma Launcher (which have the homing), fuel rod gun isn't quite as easily explainable. Very rarely do we see them use anything else, maybe their lack of an integrated HUD is why?

Please don't hype for games...
They'll just fall short of your expectations and you'll complain for months.

3. The covenant have things like contacts in their eyes that have the same effect as the spartan HUD. That's why elites have a HUD. I'd assume this is constant for all other covenant troops as well.

According to the Fall of Reach all UNSC forces have a standard-issue neural implant, (the Spartans get an upgraded AI-integrating one) it wouldn't need to be very complicated to project helpful information directly into the user's optic nerve. The optic nerve is one of the largest in the body and comparitively easy to tap into compared to others in the brain, plus you can't do any fatal damage even if you mess up monumentally. They usually have a helmet mounted sight as well, as others have said.

2. A carbine is a shortend version of a rifle, so is there a full version of the Covenant Carbine?

I suspect it's designated a 'carbine' by the UNSC purely because of it's role. The plasma "rifle" has not got a rifled barrel after all, it's just given the designation due to it's role on the battlefield.

3. How do the Covenant aim their plasma weapons?
Sorry for any spelling or grammatical errors in the post.

The Elites at least probably have similar neural implants to the UNSC, the Arbiter has a HUD even though his eyes are uncovered, the Covenant handbook for Halo 2 says that it is a function of the Sangheili combat harness, I'm presuming the armour relays data to an implant, which relays it to the brain.

Jackals often wear physical eyepieces, and Hunters have optics in their 'helmets'. The grunts that wear helmets (spec ops and similar) presumably have some manner of active vision assist, they certainly dont have a clear visor, so cameras are involved. Regular grunts are probably unassisted.

Not really, man. How often do they actually hit anything with the Fuel Rod gun? Very little except on harder, altered difficulties. Plus, the Fuel Rod has that targeting system that flips out on the left side of the gun that would help them somewhat aim. Other than that I imagine it to be a simple "point and click" weapon.
