This is where you can add new weapon ideas to the game. remember they have to be non-stupid and balanced. We don't want some rapid rocket firing pistol which can be dual wielded and has a accuracy of a sniper rifle.

You can tell about how they look, what they are best for and what they are -blam!- for. And if anyone has a website, MAYBE they can keep a gunpart of it for our halo ideas where we can submit them with their pictures.

Anyway, suprising as it is, i have an idea.

-A covenant AA (anti-aircraft) gun. Not as efective as the fuelrod cannon against armour but guided. Rounds are almost like needler rounds, but obviously alot bigger and faster. six rounds per magazine. single shot but allows 2 shots to be fired every second unlike the rocket launcher which takes about 2 seconds. 4 to 6 shots to destroy a banshee on mp, but it will be impossible to dogde it as it was designed for use against human fighters which are very fast. will only lock onto vehicles. Explodes but has a very small radius as it was designed to penetrate by force not explosion. This makes it almost useless against infantry.

and thats it from me so far. let's see what you can do.

Are Vehicles OK?
Because my idea is the Covenant Spectre, it is a small unarmed one man vehicle but it is completely invisible and less distinuishable than when you would normally use active camo. It also is very silent and doesn't show up on the motion tracker.
Problem is its completely unarmed and very weak so afew well placed shots will take it down.

Mine is the Covenant Monarch, it flies, it's bigger than the banshee, though not as big as a pelican, is invisible, is more easily distinguished than the normal active camo, shows up on the radar, and has two plasma cannons (the type you find on ghosts). It has four boosters on the back, so it's even faster than the ghost, and it has three pods on the bottom, each big enough to carry two spartans/elites, and has two attached covenant carbines on each pod, so that the passengers can shoot. It becomes visible once the vehicle shoots, though it becomes only slightly more visible when the passengers shoot. It's mainly for carrying people to the other base to get the flag.

(In response to Vasheeth)
sounds abit TOO good to me, and Covenant vehicles have spooky ghost names, which is
why I chose Spectre for my idea

i think a flying marine vehicle would be perfect and be able to have a friend man a turret on the back but have the accuracy of the turret toned down so it wouldn't be cheap to someone fying a banshee which would obviously have better accuracy but be able to have the driver shoot some sort of small rockets with target tracking but balanced enough so its fair. And give it a cool name like the viper or something?

Human two-seater fighter, named the Raptor. The size of a banshee and ghost put together. It's speed is 40 miles per hour, so it is slightly slower than the ghost and warthog. It is not as easily turned as the banshee, because it uses human technology, covenant. The pilot can fire a chain gun (warthog's weapon) and a rocket launcher (however, the rocket launcher is the same as the personal one, except takes 5 seconds between every shot. Just as slow).
On the bottom of the fighter is a 360* turret, where the second person sits. From the turret you can either fire a chain gun, or use your own weapons (ex. sniper rifle, battle rifle).

That what you are looking for spartan25?

This is already there, and it's called the skyhawk. It would be ridiculous for a plane to go 40 mph unless they have ground thrusters, which wouldn't be practical to use all the time. I say make the human fighter super fast, able to outrun everything else with ease, but make the turning radius torturous. It should also handle like a wartpig.


Kill the covenant pig dogs!

Vehicle Idea 1-

The Demon.

A one man crewed Covenant Tank that is shorter than a Wraith, thinner and is elongated by about 2 meters. It has two main guns that fire straight out in a sort of shell form. The shots travel much faster than the Wraith's, but are also a bit less powerful. Not much less though. It can travel at faster speeds and has weaker armor plating than that of a Wraith. It is more or less a quick assault tank.

Vehicle Idea 2-

The Spectre

A single man crewed Covenant Heavy Support Bomber. It is spread out like a manta ray and has four standard plasma cannons (think those of a Banshee or Ghost). Two on the wing tips and two more towards the center of the craft. It is also equiped with two Fuel Rod Guns mounted on the bottom of the fuselage. Not very fast or agile, but capable of taking a beating. It's armor equals about the strength of a Banshee and a half.

Vehicle Idea 3

The Lucifer

A two man crewed Heavy Covenant Dropship. This thing is huge. We're talking carrying 30 troops and a Wraith huge. Shaped sort of like a Phantom, but has the old two-prong style of the old Covenant dropship on the front of the craft. Has three anti-tank turrets that are mounted on the bottom of the craft. Slow moving and heavily shielded this sucker can distribute troops like mad. Needless to say it is a serious threat.

So what do you people htink of those?

For a new weapon:
The HA877 SPEC OPS Battle Rifle
The HA877 weapon is actually based on the newly adopted HA871 Battle Rifle, which is replacement for the aging  MA5B Assault Rifle. This new battle rifle has been modified by Special Weapons Developement for a new type of personel. The first revision being that the barrel has been lengthend a bit and a sound/flash suppresor has been built in. The magazine has been enlarged to carry to newly created 10x40mm high explosive, armor piercing smart round, which is lightly based on the explosice tipped round used in the M6D HE pistol. The reason for the "smart" is that after the round is fired from the barrel, when it hits a Covenant target wearing a shield it will detonate the primary exlposion causing the shield to go down for that moment. Leaving the shield momentarily down, the round will continue to hit and pierce the armor and penatrate it, at which point the secondary explosion will detonate causing extreme internal damafe to the target. The optics on the rifle are mcuh precise than the standard issue scope used on the comon BR, with new features such as night vision, and heat sorce tracking. The action of the gun has been upgraded slightly with the burst fire being upped from just 3 shots to 5 shots. Along with the new firing mode, the magazine capacity has been increased from 36 to 45. This new firearm isnt issued to just any UNSC personel, or any UNSC personel for that matter. Due to the need for recon into the Covenant order, a new group of soldiers have been brought together to fill a small niche. These men are Special Operations soldiers that are registed under ONI rather than the UNSC. They have different skills than that of Spartan 2s or ODSTs. The true identity of them is classified to anyone who is not in ONI or SWD.

DISCLAIMER- Sorry about that, I got on a roll.

New vehicle
The new vehicle I would want is something that slots in between the Warthog and the Scorpion. Something like an APC, that has an enclosed cockpit and passenger hold. Its primary weapon is a pair of dual LAAGs that are situated on the roof of the vehicle. They can be controlled sepratley from the vehicle, so in practice the driver can drive in one direction while firing the main guns in another direction. The crew can be one, but can also be made to have a dedicated gunner and a driver. The passenger capacity can hold 6 marines. The vehicle is also amphibous, which can transform the vehicle into a beach landing craft.

i'm sorry to be such a tight arse but do you even know the size of a 40mm shell
the 40mm actually refers to the width if the grenade so the magazine would be more likely to be decreased in size to carry a mere 10 grenades even then with a masive size increase

read the top post... it said BALANCED

but your other idea is okay though

i was thinking about a hog that hovers so its able to go over and not under the water and would have decent handling on ice but it would be like driving in oil if you turned sharply, a rocket launcher would be out of the question unless the rocket ignited outside of the launch tube like the jevelin rocket/missle launcher and hence decreased accuracy at range.

also a covanant light tank that fires a small energy prodgector or a pulse laser to make it balanced, it would look kinda like a wraith but not as wide and bulky on the top to allow for a turret to be mounted with the pulse laser

Thanks, but youre wrong. The "40mm" in 10x40mm refers the length. The S2 sniper rifle has a round which measures in at 14.5x114mm(look in the game manual). Correct me if Im wrong, but that is one chodey sniper round. Same thing with the AR ammo which is measured at 7.62x50mm. If Im wrong then you can blame the guy who runs this site.

BTW, screw balance. Thank god a game like Rainbow Six 3 uses real guns that don't have balance.

Im sorry but i cant quite remember what a wraith is, is it the covenent bus type thing that carries troops.

Oh and my vehicle is called the Shadow

It is a type of Ghost but it is much faster a little bigger it has the same two plasma guns and also has one fuel rod gun mounted in the middle and a built in shield device like the jackles but it absorbes blows from bullets for a short amount of time enough to get away if need be. Its shield can withstand one grenade but one well placed rocket can blow it to dust. It seats two grunts or one elite and a grunt or one brute.

A giant needler like ainti air craft gun does exist in the books so it isnt that far fetched

Sorry, but Bungie has already designed a Covenant vehicle called the shadow. It is basically the Covenant Warthog because it has three seats (driver, passenger, and gunner) and a rear mounted tri-barreled plasma turret (like the Shades). Go here: http://bungie.net/Games/Halo/Gallery.aspx?Gallery=ConceptArt& amp;page=2 , it's near the middle titled "A later concept for the Covenant Shadow (unsused)".
