Secondly, it's not as if space combat in halo is even marginally realistic. The decks in the ships are built the wrong direction (they should be perpendicular to the axis of thrust) and any crew standing around in the ship when it accelerated would be turned to red mush on the wall. There are also no acceleration couches, which are necessary for the crew to survive high G maneuvers. The fact that halo occurs 550 years in the future makes the weapons available to humans looks like sandbox toys. I mean REALLY! The best armaments they have are RAILGUNS! Shit, 100 years in the future we will have a plethora of directed energy weapons including atom lasers, X-ray lasers, gamma lasers, singularity accelerators, and god knows what other planet killing devices. The fact that a human civilian half a millennia in our future could lose to a bunch of reptiles using PLASMA weapons is utterly ludicrous. And where are the hyper fast missiles, accelerated at 100 Gs and launched in massive swarms to overwhelm enemy point defenses. As a matter of fact, ALL weapons, including infantry weapons are RIDICULOUSLY primitive. Even the covenant are pathetic. Even the forerunner weapons pathetic! The forerunners, a galaxy spanning civilization dead for thousands of years somehow only manages to arm it's operatives with SUPPRESSORS! NO! The infantry weapons available to the promeatheans would -blam!- everything the UNSC could throw at them. Every single forerunner weapon should be a 1 shot kill to ANYTHING!
