The pistol? I think they are including something on that lines, but nothing has really been said.....


As for the flamethrower, I don't think it will make it. Just a hunch.

Magnums aren't necessarily old. It's just a style.

magnum isnt like a specific gun, its more like a company type thing, a sort of rate of power, we have magnums in these days, even though they are still revolvers, they are still like the most powerful handguns u can by (save for maybe a desert eagle). Also, i think that new sniper rifles in halo 2 should be like bolt action, because the semi but almost full automatic snipers are just cheap (but fun!) i think it would be better if it was a bolt action one. a flamethrower would be cool, but pretty pointless...

Thats a good idea, ace_of_spades. To have two different sniper rifles. The first one would be the S2 semiauto from the first game, and the second would be a bolt action rifle with a 7 round magazine, but to validate having it be bolt-action it would fire high exlposive armor piercing rounds similar to the rounds that were in the first pistol. The rounds would be similar in size to the current .338 lapua. The design of it would look similar to the FN Hectate, or one of there long range modular rifles. As for the next possible pistol, it should be without a scope and the magazine can be a little bigger. Since the new BR has a scope, the pistol isnt really that effective. I really dont care about the flamethrower, but its always nice to have a choice.

There should be as many weapons as possible.


Just want a choice

Magnum refers to the length of the shell.

The pistol in Halo was a magnum.

The pistol described in First Strike is probably not a magnum. It is more likely to have a higher calibur with a short shell. That way it will still have stopping power, but will decrease its range.

Why did they change the Assualt Rifle?? it looked wicked before they upgraded it to the Battle Rifle. Plus the battle rifle looks a bit like a bullpop( specifically a FAMAS G-2)

I think the flamethrower would be kinda pointless ( i havent played halo pc, so shoot this down if im wrong) because it looks underpowered for jackals and anything up and underpowered

A flamethrower seems too complicated to animate, it would probably cause the system to lag in large multiplayer games. If any body has played return to castle wolfenstein, they'll know what I mean. The flame animation in that game sucks big donkey balls.

There should be a bayonette to put on the battle rifle for close combat.
It would make the rifle useful at all distances.

i like that idea a bayonette would be pretty cool. like when a elite comes at you and yells you just jab a F@#king bayonette in his mouth. then shoot a few times to finish him off

Well, actually, they DID want to put them in the first Halo, but they didn't out of time constraints. I personally think they would only be good at close combat where you could get killed at any moment by plasma swords, so I think they're a little out-dated. So, in conclusion, I think it is a stupid idea.

the way i see it

[color=pink] the old assault rifle = new smg

the old pistol = the new battle rifle

BUT

smg = needler

battle rifle = plasma rifle

?new pistol? = plasama pistol [/color]

FLAME THROWERS SUCK!
