Yeah, that's one thing that really bothered me about HALO, to the point of making me rethink getting it- so you've got this... fearsome arsenal at your disposal: assault rifles that make the modern ones look pathetic, giant plasma pistols spitting out wall-melting globs of gooey-looking death, ****ing tanks firing artillery rounds... and the most deadly thing you've got is your ability to ****ing pistol-whip people. Yeah, shield rationalization, blah blah, I see someone come out from under a hail of futuristic ultra-destructive gunfire that'd be improbable for most action movie stars with barely a scratch and then flop over dead when they get clocked with a ****ing rifle butt, I get angry.
I mean, why the **** don't they just make a gun that spits out pistol handles at 400 rounds a minute? And if whatever the hell they're making stocks out of in the future is so damned deadly, how can you hold onto a gun without, I dunno, tripping over a rock and scattering yourself over twelve counties?
