What do you think? Or do you think that the people who came with the chief back to Earth on the Gettysburg will still have old weapons in a mission or beginning cutscene?

wtf? First read the damn books. Second u don't need a damn story how they will replace the weapons. Better technology is all u say. They had more efficient weapons so out with the old in with the new.

Look, I read the books. I'm just trying to get an honest opinion. I'm a Halo freak. I admit it.

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.

The weapons aren't replaced you just won't see any of the old non-returning weapons in the places you go. How convenient for Bungie.

I think they will return. Prototypes will just be shipped out to different areas, but the originals will remain as well. So I refuse to vote.

Mmh, don't you guys think that we are all too -blam!-y to each other? It looks like everybody hates each other. This is a community and we have chosen to participate in it. So let's make an effort to maintain Kindness.

That's what I've been saying, but it's hard to do with flamers going around.

I hope you did not take what I said as flaming. I was just being silly and giving a really cheesy reason for their replacement. If you did take it as flaming I apologize.

The people who only flame are the ones who arent smart enough to some up with constructive critisizm.

It doesnt take much brain power to flame someone.

That's the back end of an M19 SSM or "Rocket launcher" as you people call it.

Fall of Reach, Pg337

"Hull-Breaches patched- but the majority of decks eleven, twelve, and thirteen are destroyed. That includes the Spartans weapons locker."
"Are there any infantry weapons left?" Keyes asked. "We may have to repel boarders."
"Yes, Captain. A substantial number of standard Marine infantry weapons survived the engagment..."

Keep in mind this happens just before the first level of halo. with that tidbit, it would be rather easy to give "new" weapons. they were the weapons MC should have used all along. Besides, Reach fell before the first halo, and reach was the center for all military development anyway. That means the new technology idea doesnt quite pan out.

Also, The Pillar Of Autumn was one of the most advanced ships made by the UNSC. It is silly to think they didnt have the most advanced technology available to go on the mission they were orignally assigned to. for those that dont know, the mission was to capture a covenanent warship and attack the homeworld, but before they could start, reach was attacked.

the battle rifle, smgs, and power pistols were found in the underground castle base on reach, recovered by fred and will so those weapons were in the spartans bunker because they were curently in field testing
