Just wondering what gun you still want to smoke everyone with once Bungie actually finishes and ships Halo 2 out.

Like I keep saying, if bungie takes out the pistol, lots of people will be pissed. I mean, if they upgrade it or it just happened to become the battle rifle and does the same amount of damage and has exactly the same firing mechinism, then that would be fine. All in all, just keep it or make it better. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

They will most likely keep the pistol. Either the same one and down graded alot or a completely new one. Because like every game has a pistol. Whats the point not to?

I think shotgun should be least changed out of all of them. It was powerful enough, yet was balanced by non-existant accuaracy. Also, the reload mechanism has always had a place in my heart, because you can get two shells in, then stop and kill someone, then continue reloading, rinse and repeat.

The sniper rifle dosen't really need anything changed, but I don't mind if it is. The rest of the weapons need to be balanced in the new engine, for better or for worse, and I think that they all have room for improvment and can all change, such as the pistol becoming the battle rifle.

But the shotty is the one that I least want to change, but if Bungie changes it, I'm sure it'll be cooler than I could ever imagine.

And as i've always said, "sniping from across the map is for little -blam!-es that like to lower the level of gameplay by hiding from everyone else." The shotgun was the most balanced weapon in the game and should not be changed, and I'm glad that people recognize that.

The sniper Rifle I found it very easy and fun to use. , plus well balanced.

Heres what I think will balance it out with the weapons of Halo2:

AR: Alittle more accurate and powerful
Pistol: Less power per round but a bigger clip (Dual wieldable)
Sniper: When zoomed, when you fire, it moves the reticle in a random position like a recoil but stays zoomed in.
Shotgun: No change though perhaps less bullets before a reload (this is my vote choice)
Rocket Launcher: The target tracking is genius especially now that you can fly banshees in multiplayer.
LAAG: More power and more accuracy (because no one like to man the hog turret in halo1 which is a shame)
Plasma Rifle: Same power, same rate but overheats take about a second less to cool down maybe (Dual Wieldable)
Plasma Pistol: Charge shot remains the same but burst bullets move much quicker (also the HUD wield position must look cooler!) (Dual wieldable)
Needler: More max ammo and ammo perclip and more power per needle. (Dual Wieldable)
Shade turret: Energy bolts travel faster.
Flamethrower: Fires more of a jet than a spray for longer distances and remains the same fire power.
Fuel Rod Gun/Cannon: Over heats sooner and no rapid fire. Blast radius also shorter.
Scorpian Tank 90mm High velocity Cannon: Replace with a slower moving rocket launcher which i more powerful than the average rocket launcher though.

If anyone disagrees or agrees with what I posted please say as I would love some feedback. Thank you.

If they put a pistol back in halo 2, I want them to drop every single stat except clip size. Seriously. It has great range, zoom in and cheap as hell power. Make it weaker(lots weaker please...). Keep the zoom, give it much less range and lower the hit% as well. I'd be fine with that.

no one has ever said that the flamethrower will even be in the game, and if it is that will be a sad day for Bungie

I like the flamethrower although in multiplayer its useless I would love to use it against grunts in single player. If bungie can make it work I think it would be a good weapon and I would definately pick it up from time to time.

THE FLAMETHROWER

They need to upgrade it & make it look more futuristic & sleeker cus the old one looks like it came straight outta BERLIN in WW2 or somthing, so if its gonna be in then make it look like it fits the actually time period please.

Yeah the flamethrower looked crap and I bet, nay hope its gearboxes fault I think it should look like the AR but with pipes running along the sides and it should be darker. Kind of like the flamethrower from the alien movie (I forget which one)

Well, wipe your -blam!-ing vuh-gina sally!

Sniping is a part of Halo. Halo is rounded out in every aspect, short or long range.

Lower the level of gameplay?? HAHAHA. You must suck then, sniping is an integral
and exciting part of Halo. If anything it raises the level of gameplay, always watching
for snipers. Or tanks rockets pistols.

Shotgun, Plasma Pistol/Plasma Rifle

Every other weapon has issues that need to be addressed...

Pistol's being ridiculasly overpowered
Sniper Rifle being a joke to use (not as bad as the pistol though, but I wish It'd feel like a skillful kill when I killed someone with it (like it was in older games))

Rocket Launcher's being a full anti vehicle weapon (not just anti ground, since hitting banshee's will be near impossible with the Halo Combat Evolved Rocket Launcher)

Needler and AR (if the AR appears) should be toned up so they're better in more areas
