Why are the human guns in halo so... old? Now days we have snipes that can go 2+ miles, tanks that go 55 mph and shoot 2+ miles. And our version of the assault rifle is the M16, but the M-29 is ready to be deploied in battle. The M-29 can shoot 300+ meters accuratly, and put a nade around a wall 600m away and even can put a bullet through a mans head after goin through a wall. Our modern SMG's like a P-90 can go through 75 sheets of kevlar at 75+m. The army has operational laser/plasma weapons!Why are the human weapons in halo so old low tech??? Is it because it makes the game cooler or because bungie didnt think of it??

Because we have limited resources, so they tried to cut back and make the weapons more simple, atleast thats how I feel!

i agree... but thats wat makes halo well halo i geuss. like the pistol in H1. it was sooo powerful and u wud expect it to be the least powerful like most games... if u want a game that has the weapons of today like wat u were talkin about then play GRAW or Battlefeild 2 MC. i do agree with u but i like it how it is. there has to be one game thats different and this is wat makes halo so unique.

But we DO NOT have limited resources in halo, we control entire solar systems, so we have like 200x the amount of today atleast.

Maybe it just wasn't based on real life mate. Hence the HALO ring, covenant etc etc....

hmmm actually just last night i looked out my window and seen a banshee fly past. It was a lot faster than that in the game.

I thought there was a better gun than the M16 that has just recently been used in Isreal because of its great use in urban warfare. And to awnser the OPs question, its because they all have bad ass armor and oversheilds, thats why.

We don't know what rifle we're going to put into service next, but my moneys on the XM-8 not the M-29. The P-90 isn't an SMG, it fires rifle rounds. The army has no lasers, that's the Air Force and Marine Corps.
