can sum one plz explain to me without flaming me at the same time why sum ppl here keep moaning about weapons being unbalanced im not too sure i understand their argument. 4 a game to b as realistic as possible a game will have weapons that are much better than others thats how the real world works u dont bring a knife to a gun fight unless ur the punisher :)

People only say they are unbalanced b/c they dont know how to counteract them. after a good 2 years of training people will learn how to kill a sword guy.

yea there is always a healthy balance b/c when someone gets a sword(intended for short range) i get myself a sniper and gun him down so even if some wepons are overpowered say the rocket launcher there limited with things like low ammo

The guns in Halo I and Halo II are meant to be balanced, they were alot more balanced in halo II tho.. Bungie tried to make the all the guns as balanced as possible and so they should be.

yea i get what your saying but just for extra fun dont you think it would be more realistic if say the covenant took longer reloading human wepons and the humans took longer to reload covenant wepons becuase well...............they didnt design them and the little manuals even say that not much is known about covenant weponry.

yeah gd point but u have to remember if u read the back of the HALO CE the MC is the master of any weapon and so on, it could have been used in halo CE like the first time u find a needler the mc strugles to load ect

well this is sad to admit but the i first played combat evolved it was a year after the release and i borrowed it from a friend so i didnt really read the manual i just started killing things.......lots of things.........and then bought it used from blockbuster a few months ago........but yea that doesnt make sense i guess but playing as the arbiter it didnt make sense how picking up a human wepon i could just reload it like i knew it like it was my own

yeh i agree with u there the arbiter should have fumbled around with shotgun cartriges, tryin to put them in backwards things like that becoz human weapons are considered unholy so the arbiter would have had no previous experience using them

yea that makes sense plus the covenant especially the elites with there overinflated sense of pride would have no crosstraining on human weps but i could see how in a "basic training" for the marines and a brief for the MC would be trained in covenant weps atleast the limited knowledge thats the humans have

its weird but not so much coz the brutes have massive arms and hands so the kickback wouldt b that much 4 them, im just glad they cant hold rocket launchers that would have made them a ryt pain to kill, lol does ne1 use the pistol in halo2 its not that bad
