Forum:COntact Harvest Cover mistake

I noticed the cover of Contat Harvest shows Johnson holding a battle rifle? I thought those didn't even exist at the time!!! Plz reply

Well, apparently they did. CommanderTony 7/14/2007

perhaps its showing us a battle that took place somewhere aound the time of Halo 2, also, noticed when I was reading First Strike one day, Chief grabs a "Battle Rifle" for his attack on the Space Station, but thats getting off topic...

--SPARTAN-077


 * No, Contact Harvest takes place in the mid-2520's. Which means the BR55 and BR55HB SR Battle Rifles must of been around for a long time. CommanderTony 7/14/2007

doesn't it take place in the 2520's and after??

--SPARTAN-077


 * Well, so far we know it will only take place a little before, during, and after the First Battle of Harvest. CommanderTony 7/14/2007

gotcha, ;)

--SPARTAN-077

Or it's a different model of a similar weapon.... --Forgottenlord 04:32, 14 July 2007 (UTC)


 * It's the BR55HB SR Battle Rifle. CommanderTony 7/14/2007


 * How is this a mistake? The gun has probably been around for awhile. Do you honestly believe that they just magically conjured up the Battle Rifle in the month or so between Halo 1 and Halo 2? No, most, if not all of the variants of all the guns seen in all three games were probably around during Halo 1, they just weren't in the POA's weapons compliment. Nowhere has it been said that any of these guns were invented in 2552. -- ED ( talk )(gaming) 04:48, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, great points Ed, and we have battle rifles in our time to. You know the M1 grand of WWII? Guess what that is.-- UNSCOH   COL.   "Running   Riot"   Ryan    BAM  22:30, 2 July 2007 (UTC) 14:46, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah man. We used old M1 Garand rifles in our ROTC marching teams. They were sealed so they couldn't be fired but they were authentic and pretty freakin heavy after carrying them for a few hours, too. A nice gun. -- ED ( talk )(gaming) 03:02, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Halo 2 Human guns are so un futuristic, its odd --SPARTAN-077

Well, they are andvanced the battle rifles of our time wouldnt stand up to the battle rifls of halo, maybe.. They are just using the same type of weapon, like there is SMGs now and assault rifles and snipers and so on. Only better in halo.-- UNSCOH   COL.

A battle rifle is a combat rifle that fires a full powered round, such as a 7.62 mm, instead of a low powered round, such as a 5.56 mm, which would make it an assualt rifle. Dragonblaze-052 15:36, 25 December 2010 (EST)
