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?
