Talk:Alien: Covenant

Trailer

The trailer's out, but they released it at 12 a.m. for me, so I'm not watching it until tomorrow. I'll update the page with any new weapons/info if no one else does by the time I get around to watching it.--Quarax (talk) 04:20, 25 December 2016 (EST) It's the year 2104 and they still use "antique" weapons like AR-15s and AUGs, i don't know, it may seem lazy to me but Aliens had pretty much WAY more convincing weaponry that looked both cool-looking and realistically possible to manufacture, that and the fact that they were based over real WWII firearms plus fired caseless ammunition.

Im not expecting phased plasma rifles, then again, maybe im giving it much thought but i'll be enjoying the movie despite shortcomings like this.--Death Shadow20 (talk) 17:22, 25 December 2016 (EST)

The AR-15 has worked well for the last 5 years why would it stop working well for the next 90 years?--AnActualAK47 (talk) 18:08, 25 December 2016 (EST)

Doesn't almost everything today get replaced eventually? We are humans that are programmed to evolve, though there's this saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it", while it is true i think ppl will have to move on and try new things. Look at what happened to (for example and in your honor) the AK-47, what happened with it? That it got replaced by the 74m within the russian military and subsequently; only third world insurgents make use of it because it's cheap, easy to use, easy to manufacture and reliable. And that's why Terrorists can't advance. But yeah, imo i think its better to make technological progress over the years than to get stuck in the past, using outdated guns and shit.--Death Shadow20 (talk) 18:55, 25 December 2016 (EST)
