IGN just did an entire piece on how Halo is breaking new ground with the inclusion of a FLAMETHROWER in Halo 3.

I'm getting a little tired of Bungie making a big deal out of gameplay innovations that are almost a decade old. Just because its the first time its been included in a Halo game does not make it unique or special.

Yes, Halo fans (I am one of them), I know that the draw of Halo has never been the innovation of the weaponry, but instead its execution and seamless integration with the gameplay, but still... A FLAMETHROWER??? Unreal has had more innovative weapons for since I was still teenager.

I realize that the human side needs to have weaponry that is more based on earth physics and near-future tech, but I don;t think a hand held GAUSS rifle or a micro-wave emitter are that hard to think of for near future. Just watch Future Weapons on Discovery to see what I'm talking about.

Well thats my opinion, whats yours?
