In the trailer for Halo Wars, the Marines and Spartans are both cleary weilding battle rifles. But how could this be? Bungie stated that the game "explores the time of first contact between the UNSC and Covenant Forces" which means before Reach and what not. But, and correct me if I'm wrong, weren't the battle rifles first given (still as test weapons) to the spartans trapped with Hasely under ground in the Reach Facility after most of the planet was glassed and they we're foced to retreat into the abondoned mines? So either Bungie gave us a bad timeline description of the game (which seems unlikely considering the state of warfare in the trailer) or someone forgot the battle rifles weren't invented until around the time of the Fall of Reach. Thoughts?

What about a test version of a previous incarnation of the Battle Rifle? What if it looks and sounds like a Battle Rifle, but isn't a Battle Rifle? There's quite a few possibilities.

You'd probably want to post this on the Ensemble forums. I am not quite sure yet if they've started locking Halo Wars threads or not, but if not, I suppose it would be allowed in the Underground for a while. But it definitely doesn't go here.

Nylund wrote that part, and Ensemble isn't going to change a big part of a game just because a writer wrote a tiny detail that would contradict the situation.

Dreaming In Pixels

Just becusae the gun was not in Halo 1 does not mean it did not exist in the Halo universe...

A Spartan can rip apart the worthog turret and use it...you can't do this in the game but it is still a possibility in the Halo universe. Remember...the dicovery of the first Halo was accidental..and therefore the UNSC was unprepared nd did not have all the weapons neccesarry because the destruction of Reach. ^_^

Become the hunter.

Yeah, they weren't expecting to run into a Halo, but the Pillar of Autumn had already been rigged for the mission to capture the Covenant ship and later capture a prophet. The ship would be armed with the best weapons available to the UNSC. They messed up.

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.
