I know i left some out but i wanted to see a decision on these guns. I would choose the Shotgun or sniper rifle...the M6D pistol might unbalance gameplay since it can shoot long distances. The MA5B was just too inaccurate.

I think it would be cool if they brounght back the MA5B AR and turned it into a light machine gun. Extend the barrel a bit, and but a bipod on it. Give it a dual drum kit and viola, now we have a complete human arsenal. To balance it out the barrel would have a meter that would show the heat, and after prolonged periods of shooting, it would overheat and cause you to stop. The ammo used would be a little bigger than the rounds used in the first game, but they wouldnt be as powerful and big as the new BR round.

Many people hate the idea of a machine gun, but this is mostly due to that when some idiot brings up the notion of a minigun. Halo isnt Doom, or Unreal, its a different game. But with the additon of a light or medium machine gun, you fill that gap between the BR and the LAAG. Most armies have a light machine gun is use today as a suppresive weapon, and so I think it would as some realism to the marines to have a gunner group laying down suppresive fire during a firefight with a platoon of Covies.

The shotgun will be in Halo 2. Go to the renders and on page 3 there will be a pic of MC with his trusty shotgun.

So? It can't be a what if question if it will exist. Thats like asking What if the sky was blue? It already is so it doesn't matter. I'm just commenting that the shotgun will be in Halo 2 whether you like it or not. You can't question it.

Ya know, lol, everything on that list is either still in halo 2, or it got upgraded. Like the battle rifleis the pistol/assult rifle. And the smg is the new assualt rifle.

I would pick the shotgun if you could only take one gun into Halo 2 from Halo 1. I didn't like the sniper rifle that much, but my trusty shotgun always saved my ass in close combat.

the shotgun and sniper rifle ARE coming back, but the AR was the coolest looking gun in halo.

I can honest sit here and say I would like to see the pistol brought back. But I have always had one little problem with the pistol. Why in the world would that little bitty pistol be able to shoot all the way across the level with beautiful accuracy. It took me a few months to get that long shot down, but I got it and have been using it for a very long time now. I might be the only Halo player to -blam!- about something like this, but i was just wondering.
