There are some things I don't want to see. Like a sentury gun or a provimity mine. I remember in Perfect Dark they just ruined the game. Someone who sucked could use those to get cheesy kills. And while I think the plasma sword is awesome I'm a little woried it is too powerful. I still like it though.

Actually, those weapons in Perfect Dark added to the gameplay variety and were really fun when me and my friends were going up against HardBots.

The only weapon I don't want to see is the MA5B, that clunky piece of crap!

No trip wires or explosive packs.

Or the 'gun' the MC is shooting in the shower.

Through war we will teach your heresy.
Through battle we will teach your frailty.
Through death we will teach your fate.

The flamethrower or fuel-rod gun. They where fine for Halo PC but not for Halo 2.

Flamethrower, pistol, ma5b, thats just about it, and no proximity mines or anything, sentry guns would be pretty cool for ctf or someting though

I want the flamethrower and the fuelrod gun. I like the pistol but it was a little too good. It made the other weapons seem weak.

You haven't even played Halo 2 so you wouldn't know if they would be good or not in the game. Plus, if they do add them to Halo 2, I'm awefully sure they'd change them to be balanced with multiplayer.

I don't want the pistol(at least not the one from Halo 1) because it was way to strong and unbalanced. The Battle Rifle will somewhat substitute it just fine without making the game unbalanced. Some ideas I really hope never get added in Halo 2 are any kind of mines, automated turrets, and jetpacks. Those would completely ruin the multiplayer gameplay.

Oddly enough. Halo was always meant to have a "mini-gun". It would have been in Halo1 but they ran out of time. Even one of the Avatars available to us here at bungie.net shows a Spartan using one.

I wouldnt wanna see, the ma5b, because well, the new one is obviousely better. I also wouldnt wanna see a flamethrower, because those things end up being useless anyways. Not to mention, in Halo when you went into fire, it hurt you rather slowly. In Halo 2 you have new batlle armor, so It would be even more useless.

The plasma sword will be fine, how many times do people get knife kills in CS? its rather rare, and when they do get it, its well deserved. Being that Halo has a much different type of gameplay, the sword will be well placed. They will now make the melee different for each weapon also, so if you got a rocket launcher, and you melee it, im pretty sure itll do the same damage as a plasma sword swing.

errr.. gattling guns, any kind of bot controlled weapons (sentry guns, proxy mines etc.) all the wepaons on halo 1 were amazing and anyone who says any of the guns are crap, must be -blam!- arse players, because there are ways to use every weapon and be unbeatable. The only one weapon that i would really really despise bungie for putting in halo 2 is an amazingly high rate of fire amazingly high rate of damage extrmely large clip assault rifle, for examples of how unbalanced these weapons make the game, look at Goldeneye, Timespliters and its sequel and also perfect dark. Also no putting in two handed wepaons that can be dual wielded, we all remeber how unbalanced goldeneye was with its double rocket launchers

Flamethrower in Halo2? Ridiculous. That's just so WW1-ish. I mean, imagine MC going all "yo man, wazzup with you and yo plasma sword? No match for me and me zupa flamethrowa'!" Besides, is MCs armour flammable? I think not.

errr ok. To each their own, but if you think the needler could hold it's own against the rocket launcher, pistol, olasma rifle, shotgun, etc... I don't agree. It's all just opinion I guess

Any weapon that is not included in this list. (I want these, lot easier to say what I want as opposed to what I don't)

We need to see the....

MA5B (it's good, you just suck with it)
M6D (it's fair, just not as much in MP)
SRS99C S2 AM (Keep it as is)
M19 SSM (Love that new tracking already)
M90 (it's just fine)
Battle Rifle (no comment)
Sub Machine Gun (no comment)
Plasma Pistol (meh)
Plasma Rifle (an old friend)
Needler (It didn't need to be fixed)
Fuel Rod Gun (MP only)
Plasma Sword (MP only, but that ain't happening)
Covenant Carbine (this looks like fun)

And any weapon that Bungie wants to add that is remotely realistic while keeping it balanced with the weapons in the list. All others do not belong in Halo 2.

True.. But still, it just wouldn't fit in. How about a Ghostbuster-style "vacuum cleaner"? Could be called an "EliteRemover" or something...

Silly, eyh? Just like the flamethrower.

Ok, I'm tired.

Flames are nothing against the MC's suit. A flamethrower typically throws fire at a temperature of about 800 to 1000 degress. A non-armoured NASA spacesuit of today can easily handle 400.

hence why the US army does not use flamethrowers anymore. One bullet and Babooom, you just fried your own team.

What about the Low gravity? Somebody was saying that there were gonna be missions on the moon with LOW GRAVITY. Remember that? I wanna see that.

I'd say I wouldn't like to see.... auto weapons (CPU turrets and the like) mini guns (they are on the warthog... that should be good enough for you.) and the pie launcher. (yummy but deadly!) I'd like to have the MA5B because I'd like to compare it with the battle rifle and see just how good they work against eachother.
