that would take a long time and setting it would be difficult

Not really, I think it is a good idea, you could have a checklist of what weapons you want to include.

I know it would take a checklist, but one major problem I had with the 'close-range' weaponset is that it didn't include the needler. If not a short-range weapon, then what IS the needler?

I like the idea of a weapons checklist, you can replace a weapon that everyone considers 'crappy' and put something else in its place (on the map).

I think that something similar in Perfect Dark would be good. A custom list where if you put a weapon down twice it puts twice as many on the map.

Needlers are OK in their own right and I'm sure they'll make a great weapon on Halo 2 but at the moment I don't like it on multiplayer games

bah

Good. Full custumisability of gametypes would rock ass!

Yeah its a good idea. i've also had this thought before. It would be nice to have a check list for the vehicles as well.

I think its a good idea. The more customizable the multiplayer game the better. If you think its a bad idea then don't customize and just play in the normal modes.

Very good. The possibilities of game play from a simple checklist would be endless.

yeah, there should be options like sniper weapons, assault rifles, and all that, but one of the options should be a checklist. that would be fun.

What if you could have a handicap for players who totally suck. The handicap would determine what type of weapons you start with when you respawn. A low handicap, and you're stuck with the needler...and vice versa...if you suck you get a rocket launcher when you respawn. Adds an interesting twist, plus it makes good people even better. Nothing like learning how to beat down the enemy with a needler, when the enemy has rockets!

Oh and if you like that idea, you should check out my multiplayer map. It is under the thread named "Truely Cunning Creative Cartographers!"

I think it is an awesome idea. It would make things challenging. For instance On Halo 2 I would have Plasma swords only.

yeah...i mean...could you imagine trying to take an enemy base full of covy elites carrying plasma swords! It would definately make a man out of ya--real quick!

It would be a really cool thing to choose what guns you have and that handycap idea sounds really good

Great first idea! Might i also point out that the needler in Halo 2 fires at roughly the same rate as the SMG, so the needler, which was already a good wepaon, becomes an amazing weapon... I also like the handicap idea, but it would probably concern health, not weapons

I'd like games to be so customizable that you can choose whether or not the Elites can use human stuff and vice-versa. Also to the point where you make the health levels to that of Legendary mode for different sides. Elites nice and strong, humans nice and average. And with the new weapons and how balanced they are for each side (ie Needler=SMG, Plasma Rifle= MA5B, Covenant Carbine= Battle Rifle, etc.) that it should make matches far more interesting.

Thanks man...I also have decided that instead of selecting your handicap the same way you would change your look sensitivity, you can simply choose the handicap option when designing a gametype. Your handicap will change constantly during the game based on your kill to death ratio!

People don't like to be bound to the weapons that you like. They like to make their own choices.

Yeah, I know, but me and the guys i play with don't even have Live or anything. We basically all agree on everything.

Wow. Didn't think I'd get these many posts in only a day.
Keep it up and this might get implemented! W00t!

Good idea because you should be able to change the game to how you please.

Wow, I can't believe I have this many posts on my first thread! Maybe I should make a separate thread for a poll...

Dual Needlers will 0wnz j00!

An excellent idea. But if it is going to delay the game any longer, then screw it.
