Do you think that the weapons in Halo 3 need to be more realistic? (louder reports, less accuracy, more/ less time btw shot and hit and sound of shot hitting, smaller clips, etc.) I know they are 5046 yrs in the future, but even gunpowder has a limit to its effectiveness.
oh, and also, if "t00 fat" posts a flame in this thread please help me eat his first born!

woops, I forgot the poll!

im sure by 2552 guns will be very accurate, given the 500+ years for expansion. im sure they also developed bullets that give less sound and flash and greater range/accuracy

No, guns shouldn't have more realism. This isn't BF2. It's Sci-fiction. However, I do wish that they would make guns sound louder and nastier. Same with explosions.

I imagine that the Master Chief, has more than the capability, to fire Accurately.

Maybe the weapons dont use gunpowder only- maybe there is something else that makes the gun better?

What? Do you mean the chambering system? That doesn't mean that there aren't bullets and gunpowder, which there clearly are.

I would have thought that the guns would at least all be caseless, and electrically fired with the mechanical system as a back-up. I suppose it wouldn't be as cool, though. I really liked the "feel" and sound of the pistol and AR better than the SMG and BR. I wish they would bring that substance back.

Yeah, gas operation uses the chambering system. When the weapon is fired, the bullet's high pressure gases are tapped off to a chamber below the barrel, then the gas flows through the chamber, and pushes the system back, thus extracting the old round and chamber the new one.

Also, i agree with the fact that Human weapons should retain realism, and something tells me that whatever new weapons Bungie has in store for us will definitly return the Assault Rifle "feel", and will most likely add more effect to it.

They should try to imitate the sounds from halo 1 because if you recall, the guns sounded meaty and explosions shook the windows (assuming you played with a good sound system)

Arent armies today looking to phase that out with kinetic energy rifles?

I say, don't make weapons more realistic. This is a sci-fi game not a World War [Insert Number Here] shooter. If you wanted more realism, lets just take out all of the plasma weapons all together, bye bye energy sword, and who needs that sentinel beam? Those are all things that are un-realistic but still necessary to make a good game, so just have the coolest weapons in there, not the most realistic. Oh, and shouldn't this go into the "weapon ideas" thread?

I am...whimsical today.

I have to say I enjoyed the louder reports from the Halo:CE guns, and I don't really like the new plasma weapons, they sound a little weak and 'splashy' to me.

he means that gas is ignited in the chamber which causes pressure, this propells the bullet forward, far more effective than having a hammer smack a bullet out of its case..

Acctually, i was watching the history channel and they were showing models of elecricly operated gunz, that might be what kept tha AxR from kick back
