The Bullet would thing make vastly more sense but people want to go behind the whole "Grain of Sand" thing, which is dumber than hell.

Also, Halo does not try to explain their technology as much as Mass Effect. It doesn't have a bloody codex. It just goes with "Hey, look, GUNS!".

I enjoy Sci-Fi but only if they don't try being realistic. It's like when people try to explain how Superman picks ups a plain or guide its wing and not accidentally go through the plain or tear the wing off. People will say he creates a "force field" around the plain but it just comes off more stupid.

Also, Mass Effect only gives vague information, forcing us to interpret how their technology works on our own. Strangely, Star Wars will give more in-depth information. Give us basic information that explains things very well or give us none and just let us enjoy. That's my opinion.
