First of all, i disagree with ur signature...

An army of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep
No matter now tacticle the sheeps are, they can never defeat lions.
first of all, sheeps cannot kill a lion because, well, they are herbivores. and no matter how badly the lions are led they can still kill a sheep with one bite/slash. so yeah, u r wrong.
and for the sake of arguing, it wouldnt really matter for a sinper to have laser. I mean if u r trying to put halo in the future setting, things would be waay different. First of all, i won't be suprised if shotguns fired as fast as smg, i mean we already have semi-auto shotguns now days. and the grenade, i think i would've evolved by then, not just killing things with shrapnel. As for the rocket launcher, it would definately pack more punch and more powerful, probably same as a missle today. Snipers would totally evolve, maybe something changes with the bullet that should be one-shot ko to ANYTHING and can actually track it through heat signature (kinda like the rocket now except waay more advance). and what happened to chemical warfare? There are soo many other things for example, the pelican. I mean right now in Halo it have 0 firepower, u think that even troops today would use that to transport ppl?? THe vehicles like tank would be waay fast, like a car, and a warthog would have more armour. So actually, humans shuold be more evolved than covenant should things be realistic.
But that's it, Halo isn't realistic, it's about skills and fun. I mean how fun would it to blow up a whole covenant ship just by using 2 rocket? How fun would it to be able to kill any oppoent just using the sniper? how fun would it if u can slash through enemies with shotgun bullets without any resistence? (well, fun for a little while, but really no challenge, and like anything, would be boring after a VERY SHORT while). but if that actually happened, then there would be no halo plot line: if covenant tried anything they would all die.
So, to ur question of laser or not? try not to look at it as how realistic it is, but look at it from a stragetic point of view: first of all, it would definately add more element to the game, i mean if u see ur self marked as a target that would give u a chance to do something; but it also promotes the skills of the sniper where they kill u before u notice anything. So give and take, not neccssary and it would change the game a lot even if u don't know it right now. And btw for ppl who say u can use the flashlight, that just gives away where u r to ever enmy in the area, as opposed to using just a tiny laser and only the person u r targetting will know (if he's actually looking ur way).
I like to argue and make my point of view :D
