Since there is obv. gonna be a Halo 3 I was thinking a while about some weapons that would be cool in Halo 3. I was thinking along the lines of an automatic rifle that you could hit the white button and change the recticle, accuracy, damage of bullets, and rate of fire. Let me elaborate:
Mode 1: The gun has a large recticle, rapid semi-spray fire (think more accurate assault rifle), low damage bullets, and a high rate of fire. Hit the white button and it goes to-
Mode 2: The gun has a recticle about the size of a magnum, pretty accurate fire, bullets that take about 5 shots to take down the shield and 1 head shot or 3 body shots to take down health, and a medium rate of fire. Gun gains 2x zoom.
Mode 3: Gun has a very small recticle, very accurate fire, bullets that take three shots to take down the shield and either one head shot or two body shots to take down health, and a very slow rate of fire. Gun gains 8x zoom.

When you changed modes it would have to take a second or so for an animation of the MC to modify the weapon and prevent quick changing.

I think that if this were the standard starting weapon for Halo 3 the multiplayer would be tons of fun cuz everyone has a good weapon to start but not a great weapon. The "Uber-Assault Rifle" would be usable at all distances but not really excel at any. Please post opinions + more suggestions.

Amen. i like your idea. alot of people wud say its too rigged but i mean u gave some flaws to it. I think that should be like the "super weapon" on a level. like the RL. it only spawns a lil and theres 1 in the whole game. but im not sure of a name. maybe the Calibure Rifle or something. what abotu u?

I agree, no offense dude, but this is Halo, not some teletubies/UT 2004 hybrid piece of crap game. The Weapons in Halo 2 are awesome, the most they should do for halo 3 is maybe some upgrades for the weapons... but nuthin too unrealistic... Maybe put different scopes... nightvision... heat... new grenades... and Some sort of M203 type attachment to the Battle riffle... that, would be awesome.

I liked the pistol with the scope on it for Halo 1. I think they should bring that back, but leave it as powerful as the Magnum. And the night vision comment made me realize that there was a real few dark areas in Halo 2. They should make darker levels and guns with night vision (like the Sniper did for the first game) that can match up with them.

Single shot Battle Rifle and SMGs that don't go up while shooting like the Assault Rifle. All I ask for.

It sounds pretty cool but it seems a bit over the top.

Lets keep Halo, Halo

YES please make it so when wielding only one SMG it doesn't ride up. Its more realistic and it creates more ways to gain talent. It gives more of a reason to hold only one SMG instead of two. Also if MC/Aribitor can flip a 66 ton scorpion they should at least be able to hold one "bullet hose" SMG steady. I can see why two would ride up or just one when dual wielding with another weapong but at least when holding one with two hands it should stay steady like the old AR!

common Bungie keep you game somewhat realistic here!!!

I would really love a Battle Rifle that shoots only 1 shot, instead of a burst of 3. Rifles are my favourite weapon in ANY game, like call of duty, i love the rifles in that game, the ones that you have to pull the lever to fill the chamber with a bullet.

still, the Battle Rifle is my favourite weapon.

hmm sounds a little cheap
i think they should modify the old weapons and add new ones in cause there are so many types of weapons not been used yet
like a grenade launcher
if you could make your uber rifle standard and be a huge all around weapon but not really good in any specific situations it would be cool

The nukes that the spartans use in the books, like off starship troopers... be f'ckin awsome to take a platoon of grunts out with a nuke.

They should make the pistol better again though... i mean the year is supposedly 2552.... and our magnums today can blow of any aliens head within a 5 ft radius, so in 5 hundred years of so, the pistols probably would be the best weapon. Small, easy to use, reasonably light, plus they are sly.
If not, stick a supressor onnit for sneaky missions.

That rifle thing I was talking about would have to have a quick switch feature back to mode 1 so it would actually get used in melee combat. I think that it could be the starting weapon if it was made right- that is not overpowered. How about frag grenades that only detonate after 3 seconds or till you release the left trigger (U'd have to hold the trigger down after u threw).
