DaRKSTaRxMeRC: Prophet of Fury: DaRKSTaRxMeRC: erickyboo:It's not really sniper class, that wouldn't really be halo. From what I know, you can select one of three abilities, either running faster, making a hologram of yourself and going invisible but losing ability to hear and to use your motion tracker.
I know that it isn't a sniper, I was just saying that I hope they will include a sniper class option. Obviously the Sniper Rifles would have to be re-balanced if that was the case, as the current ones are pure rape. Maybe make them bolt action, or require holding your breath, or use actual distance and trajectory physics.
A bolt action rifle? In Halo? Seriously? 500 years in the future we haven't figured out how to make a telescopic sight that accounts for distance and trajectory, corrects for body movement, and is semi-automatic?
Why don't we just have sling-shots?
Since they are so high tech, why do they still use projectiles? Why do they have such low-power guns? Why does the assualt rifle suck? Why do the rifles all look very much like modern weapons, and not like futuristic weapons? We have better weapons right now, then the UNSC has.
In Halo.
Seriously.
500 years in the future.
If you can't make a sniper class due to the sniper rifle's OP'dness, then something has to be changed. Now go wank off to Cortana you little fanboy.
Let's see.... bullet... laser/plasma bolt...
If either one hits you, what's the difference?
When I was a kid I used to think laser guns would be way better than regular guns. Then I joined the Army. We talked a lot about guns. Big ones, little ones. I've seen what they can do. We've been making slug throwers for a long time and they just keep getting better and better. We haven't figured out laser small arms yet. Haven't figured out plasma at all. But we know all about making slug throwers.
Did you know that when a depleted uranium bullet hits armor plating it doesn't just make a hole? You do not want to be inside an armored vehicle when that round burns its way through.
As Master Chief might say,"I got your plasma pistol right here, pal."
Why don't they look futuristic? In the future a bullet still has to travel down a long barrel if you want it to go straight, and you need a place to keep the bullets you haven't fired yet. And you need handholds to aim it. Anything else is fluff. Military weapons aren't made to be looked at. If you don't need it it's not on there. Since we've got most of it figured out already, why would they look any different in the future (except they wouldn't be bolt action)?
The guns are low power because they're video game guns.
The assault rifle only sucks when you use it.
I don't know what you do when you see Cortana, but I need more than a cartoon character if I'm going to wank off.
And it's than the UNSC has.
