In answer to this, the Marines would have had adequate time to aqquire newer, upgraded weapons not like in this situation. How are you aware that all Marines have this new Assault Rifle anyway? The pistol lost power because it is a stripped down C variant of the weapon. The grenades lost power because they are not the same version of fragmentation grenade.
And if you dont like my posts, dont read them.
Well, for starters, Master Chief has to get this assault rifle from somewhere. I can only assume (but I'm pretty sure) that they aren't lying around on that forerunner ship he's on, so he must get it from earth. If that's the case, then the question still remains as to where all the old assault rifle's went in the mean time.
About the pistol losing power - please... say it is a stripped down version - that still doesn't explain A: where the old version went, and B: why use a stripped down version?
And regarding the grenades, I'd ask the same question - why use less powerful ones?
And it's not just the frags; the plasma nades are far less powerful too.
It all boils down to the same point - Bungie will change what they need to change regardless of whether it works perfectly in terms of continuity. The gameplay is far more important than worrying about how to explain where a weapon came from, or why one has dissapeared/changed.
Oh, and I'm not asking for you to start giving me attitude - there's just no need to rant at people for their choice of thread. Moreover, be more mindful of how arrogant you sound. It's not a becoming trait.
