In Response To: Re: Captain Obvious Moment: (Gravemind)


: Well, this would explain the repetitiveness of some of the weapon and vehicle
: designations. There are some oddities, though.

: These were all encountered during the Harvest campaign, as seen in Halo Wars
: (2531).

*Grins*
Not. Canon.

: The Covies didn't use any heavy infantry weapons/rocket launcher equivalent
: until after the Harvest campaign ended?

Or they had an earlier version that was later supplanted by the T-33.
Remember the version in Halo: CE? That had a completely different feed system, I think, and a dead-man's switch. Until they re-released "The Flood" and Jossed me with the timeline clarification, I thought that the FRG seen in Halo: CE was a much older model.

: Or a heavy machine gun equivalent until 17 years into the war?

*Shrugs*
They had an earlier version. The fact that they had the T-42 didn't stop them from developing the T-52.

: Or even any sniper weapons until near the war's end?

I wonder if the T-31 Needle Rifle was used as a sniper rifle. Unlike the Carbine, its projectile doesn't decay over a long distance.

And, hey, maybe there was a pre-existing rifle that got replaced by the T-50.

: None of this makes any sense. Maybe there were other types of sniper weapons,
: automatic plasma cannons, and heavy rocket launcher-like weapons that were
: in use earlier but we haven't seen yet, although that really doesn't
: explain seeing the Needler, Ghost, and Carbine in Halo Wars.

Oh, I've got an explanation for that.
Ensemble Studios never had the Halo Bible.

The "Type-##" system dates back to the Halo 3 production cycle. The following pages were posted prior to the release of Halo 3, and both identify the catalog numbers of the weapons.
Needler
Carbine

So, yeah.
