ODST

[Bouncing Ferret FIlm]

This has been bugging the shit out of me and maybe someone who's a bigger fan than I can explain it. But why in ODST preview does the dead soldier get a 28 gun salute as apposed to a 21 gun salute? I realize its a "space marine" game, but maybe someone can shed some exact detailed light onto it.

Thanks.

This.

But really, its the future in a fantasy world. Who the hell cares about minor details like that?

Just 'cause.

The end.

They get 25% of bullets in the future, and if they don't spend their budget it gets cut the year after.

I put the apostrophe before the word "cause" specifically so you WOULDN'T do that.

Because Halo's not meant to be realistic

 

[Sassafrass]

No idea.

Prehaps they're shooting at the Halo trolls.

Why even wast a thread on this?

Okay, but I feel its a fare question. KINGDOM HEARTS for example. One would ask Why is Sora fighting with a giant KEY. now the answer you expect to get is *SMACK* its a fantasy RPG written by the same people that do Final Fantasy, of COURSE they would have weird weapons. The REAL answer is rather complicated.

Its a magic key. It has the power to release the heartless. It gets explained shortly after you get it, so its no mystery at all if you pay attention.

Ahaha, noice one. They'd need more than 28 guns for that though.

Probably just to show that traditions stay similar but still change over time. Something like that.

 

[Legion]

The same reason they are called 'The Marines' despite having a distinct lack of water to fight in. It's not supposed to be accurate to modern day military.

i mean to someone that see's a preview and has YET to play the game.

Just watched that video again. Seven riflemen firing three volleys = 21.

I watched their official super duper length one which had 21 shots total. When I checked out a shorter version it had only 14. I'm guessing it just depends on the length of the commercial.
