Just how close are FASA Studios and Bungie Studios? There should be some obvious connections since they are both working at Microsoft Game Studios. After searching through some screenshots of Shadowrun over at Gamespot, I noticed a familiar grin smiling back at me. It looks like the minigun in Shadowrun has a similar (perhaps the same) texture that's found on the flamethrower in HALO PC. Notice the same curves outlining the mouth on both weapons. The flamethrower made its first public appearance in Gearbox's port of HALO. However, the flamethrower was actually in the original HALO code on the XBOX title. Was this texture there? Wasn't there an old minigun in an alpha build of HALO and didn't it look a lot like Shadowrun's minigun?
