I don't know why now all of a sudden people want realism out a sci-fi alien FPS?

I know that game weapons are like, based on real weapons, but I think that your analyis of the weapons is a tad too deep... for a video game.

also the books, although official canon will have inconsistancies. Was a really good thread with official quotes about teh matter somewhere here.

This is Halo not a US military game. There does not need to be a minigun in the game, the turrets in the game right now are fine. Increasing the firing rate would be fine but changing the model of the turret to a minigun would be too far.

Think about it this way, the warthog's gun is pretty powerful and devastating at 900rds/sec imagine how unfair it would be at 4000rds/sec. Theres a reason Bungie made it the way it is.

Erm... you know they could change the power of each bullet, making them roughly 4.4 times less powerful (yeeeeah, i worked it out) for each hit. That way you have high ROF, without the gun becoming an uber-god. In fact it'll do the same damage as now, in effect.

Not that im saying it SHOULD be changed, I like the gun how it is on the 'Hog, its satisfyingly punchy, whereas miniguns are a bit... pathetic by comparison

As for the Pelican, I think it should certainly have at least the minigun on the front, but only if it's useable at any point in Halo 3. What's the point in a cosmetic change if it's not functional? Time and effort wasted. It'd be nice to see variants of the Pelican weaponry, we've already seen a gunship version with missiles, I'd love to see a Gauss equipped Pelican. And better yet use one... but i doubt that

Leave it. We want fun not realism.
