Because it's a real firearm. [url=http://m.imgur.com/a/b2RYW]As you can see here[/url] Well not entirely. It definitely has strong base similarities to the Beretta ARX160, but instead of being chambered in a 5.56 standard AR mag, it's got a SCAR-H style 7.62x51 magazine. It's also got a Scar-ish stock. This weapon is the unholy bastard child of the Scar-H and the Beretta ARX. It's uncanny. Being a Science Fantasy title, Destiny is a game that draws upon concepts that can be related to. The guns featured in the game are guns. They fire bullets/shells/rockets. It's a concept that we can relate to in a modern sense. The architecture, armor, ship design, even concepts like the Post Master are all things that we can draw parallels to and it's draws us in and immerses us in this universe. However when you introduce a piece into this game that has ties directly to the modern age in a way that contradicts the lore of the story, it breaks the immersion. Take for instance the Khvostov 7G-02 Autorifle. It's the first gun you get in the game. For many gamers, it's an M4, albeit heavily modified. The gun fits the game, (not necessarily the location, should have been an AK if you ask me) it's old, it's obviously been there since the Golden Age based on the condition it's in, but you quickly find out that it's not what Guardians are using as a standard weapon. It fits the immersion aspect. Even certain weapons have familiarities to current world weapons. A few shotguns have AR stocks on them, and the original scout rifles even had a P90 trigger guard and grip on it. It wasn't the actual weapon from modern times, they just had influences and parallels to modern day weapons. It was actually kind of neat. When you introduce the Hakke Autorifle, it's immediately clear to certain gamers that it is a real world firearm, a Beretta ARX rifle. As a firearms enthusiast, it takes away from that immersion that Bungie has created for Destiny. Whereas the Khvostov fit the situation being an old decrepit relic, the Hakke just feels out of place. It looks like a weapon that jumped out of Call of Duty: Ghosts (a game where the ARX was actually featured) and landed smack dab into Destiny. It just seems out of place visually. It's uncanny. CoD guns should stay in CoD, keep Destiny unique. Don't get me wrong, I love how Bungie is basically going from cookie cutter Borderlands style guns to company unique Borderlands 2 style guns, and in the timespan of a year no less, but in my opinion, they need to change the look of the Hakke Autorifle before it comes out next year. The Hakke military feel is fantastic, the Auto Rifle is literally the only thing about it that has me a little uneasy. Keep in mind, this is just an observation and an opinion, I'm not pissed off about it, the BWU just kind of caught me off guard.
