I'm sure there were more than six weapons. Lets count em out.

1 - Assault Rifle
2 - Shotgun
2 - Pistol
4 - Sniper Rifle
5 - Needler
6 - Covenant Automatic blue shootie thing
7 - Plasma pistol
8 - Rocket Launcher

Not to forget that the PC verson also included the:
9 - Flamethrower
10 - Plasma launchy thingy

Last but not least, you completely disregarded grenades, most likely because they do not occupy a seperate weapon slot. However, you likely would have counted them if they had:

11 - Plasma Grenades
12 - Explosive Grenades

So there you have it. Halo had more than 6 weapons, but it's not the weapons that made the game. I would have to agree on the story. Sure when you lookc back at it it may not seem all that amazingm but while you are playing it you are always on the brink of solving some mystery, and you are always pushing the story along.

Ironically, my Mac-disciple friend simply adores Halo and is constantly drawing, with great precision, crap from Halo.

He claims Halo was originally going to be a Mac game.

I bet he also thinks that Bill Gates is really just Steve Jobs wearing a holographic powersuit.

You forget:

Warthog body
Warthog Chaingun
Warthog passenger
Tank
Tank main cannon
Tank coaxle .50 mg
4 tank passengers
Ghost
Ghost plasma cannon
Banshee
Banshee main plasma cannon
Banshee Secondary weapon
Melee attack

Thats another 13 to add to your list. Also, never forget your Marine buddies.

Your friend is right. Why do you think they did a 13 minute movie at the '99 Macworld?
