In Response To: Re: Thoughts & observations. (Gravemind) : There's always been a lack of consistency in Halo. It's been something I've : noticed since Halo 2. There's always stuff coming out of left field, or : disappearing for one game only to return the next (the AR missing in H2 : being a notable example), or just being noticeably different from a : previous incarnation. You'd think that at this point, after five games, : I'd be used to it and not pay it much mind, but I can't help it. It just : bugs me. Concering weapons which do not appear in the first game but which appear in later games (MA5C, BR-55, various pistol incarnations, Spartan Laser): the Autumn's special weapons locker had been destroyed in the battle at Reach, robbing the ship of the Spartan Laser (and, perhaps, battle rifles). The others are simply variants of weapons which do appear. As far as the Covenant is concerned (species and gear), the force at Halo was not an integrated unit; that is, Brutes were not present because of their status, at the time, in the Covenant. Thus, their weapons did not appear. Absent also are the Jackal snipers, and there were only a few battles on the first ring in which they might have fit. I see the assault rifle's absence in Halo 2 thusly: In Amber Clad was geared for boarding action and ODST missions, so it had extreme short range weapons (SMGs and shotguns) and specialized mid-range weapons (the battle rifle). Since most of the Marine forces in Mombassa and all of the forces at Delta were from IAC, the assault rifle was gone.
