That's perhaps the highest-potential trolling image ever.

Somewhere, somehow, I have faith that there is a context for it.

Of course it does - because you've seen it once.

Anyone who hasn't sees an Angelfire placeholder.

I agree, but I've always chalked it up to gameplay balance. I think they just wanted a powerful slow firing close quarters weapon and went with a pump action. We got a semi automatic shotgun with the mauler, and some people will argue that it had balance issues.

I've never looked to Halo to give me realistic weapons. I could point out major real world flaws with most of the human arsenal, but instead I just enjoy it for what it is.

All jokes aside, so much this. There are a couple of reasons you might select manual action for a shotgun these days (price, simplicity, non-lethal ammo) but this really shouldn't be an issue 500 years into the future. Benelli specifically has a great gas-operated semi-auto (ARGO system on the M4) and as that original poster said, it's already in service today. Benelli's ID semi-autos are rock-solid, too (I've shot the SBEII a few times, over 1000 rounds I'd guess, with zero failures) but if you ever needed to fire it in a non-standard shooting position, the action may not cycle reliably (it's recoil-dependent).

I thought something looked odd about it. I stand corrected. I've got a 7100 I the closet.

I think I might have to upgrade the RAM on mine.

Well, you could do that. That Performa 6205CD could, according to ancient Golden Age records, hold up to 64MB of memory. But! There is a better solution!

Basically an early, hacked in version of Virtual Memory back when Mac OS didn't have it. The later version of RAM Doubler didn't just make your Mac think it had twice as much memory, it could trick it into thinking it had 3x the memory!!! And it really worked too! Well… most of the time…

I owned that! I remember having that box. Man times have changed.

What the hell is a buttsock, and what sort of man needs one in combat? Sounds like some sort of hideous combination of a wind sock and a diaper. In my mind's eye I see a platoon of Marines in full battle regalia, gamboling across the fields with brightly-colored buttsocks flapping cheerfully in the breeze.

That's pretty much what I was thinking.

Be still my heart.

The PowerMac 6100/60 AV is the machine I first played Pathways and Marathon on, back in 7th grade.

Cool. I've got one of those in the closet. It will be neat to play old school Marathon and Destiny on the same machine.

It is probably just for development, but again, the engine does exist :P perhaps it only works on their workstations though, hehe. At least it's not an impossibility.

I am expecting them to act like Rockstar on this, don't acknowledge a PC version until the console versions are ready.
