i hate this whole nonsense about "its only a game" If bungie was going to make weapons and a storyline that didnt have to make sense than the humans would have weapons that didnt need ammo or were invincibly strong. It's supposed to have some realism. The flamethrower is outlawed by the Geneva Convention in todays and honestly what use would it be today in combat. You probably wouldn't even get close enough before be murdered by rapid gunfire. The flamethrower doesn't make sense in the future and this talk about a plasma thrower I suppose is kinda realistic but unfortunately there already is a plasma thrower. It's called a plasma rifle, last time i checked that thing launches plasma charges.
Okay, then the humans should be using giant bombs or nukes, because thats what they would 'realisiticly' do. What you think they would fight fair? They did it to japanese people, why not aliens? They do limit the arsenal that is at the disposal of MC and the marines.. they would be using the most advanced weaponary, not little machine guns but full-auto AR's. Hell, the shotgun wouldnt be that crappy either, i mean the shotguns that are around now can rip someones head off easily, imagine in 500 years of technological advancement. In 200 years, our weaponary has improved beyond common sense, imagine in half a millenium. Anyway, the plasma rifles or throwers should be alot stronger, maybe make it a constant wave of plasma instead of small useless bursts. I mean come ON a freakin' hand gun can kill an MC in three shots but thousands of degrees of plasma can't even burn him. Plasma should be stronger then bullets.
