Re: Question about UNSC equipment
Posted By: Aidsterramma <flykenaid@hotmail.com>Date: 6/12/07 4:09 p.m.

In Response To: Question about UNSC equipment (Draganos)


: From all the books in the Halo series, I have read them all. The main
: underlying factor in the Covenant's dominance has been their technological
: superiority over humans. Plasma vs. Ballisitcs such as the archer missles
: and the MAC guns.

: In ground engagements, all humans have had are explosive materials such as
: rockets, and your average bullet.

: But now, in Halo 3... we find equipment that doesn't quite match up with the
: story so far.

: Bubble Sheild - as far as i can see - this is UNSC stuff. MC uses it on Earth
: and it looks like it is constructed by humans. The problem I find here is
: that - the UNSC ships have no sheilds. The Covenant does. So why does
: infantry have shields, but humans do not??

: Spartan Laser - Where did this come from? It's not plasma... and its not
: explosive... its a laser. Like again - I just dont see where this comes
: from. Why don't UNSC ships use similar technology other than the largely
: ineffective archer missles??

: Like the time between Halo 1 through 3 is very short ... no more than a few
: months. I find it hard to believe that the UNSC could make these
: advancements so fast. From a gameplay point of view, I love it. But from
: the story standpoint - I am just confused.

: Can anyone explain where this eqiupment comes from and why its not used to
: combat the Covies in space??

I am willing to bet that those inventions have been just thought of by Bun--- Scientists on Earth *ahem* and they have not implemented them into/onto their ships yet. The Spartan armour originally was edited Covenant technology.

It is the year 2552, get with the program. Hehe.. Spartan Program... I made a pun-ish!
