Subject: Weapons you would like to see in Halo2

I'll be on my own side.

while waiting for his idea, i came up with this

Napalm Grenade

Similar to a Covenant Plasma Grenade in a few aspects. If the initial explosion doesn’t kill the target, the resulting napalm spray will, as it sticks to the target, effectively burning it to death. The blood-red napalm also makes the kill a lot more satisfying, as it looks similar to a spray of gore. This can be set to one of 3 modes: Impact Detonation, Timed Detonation, or Stick. When set to stick mode, the grenade will stick to any surface as long as you hold the trigger down, and when you release it, it explodes, which turns it into a decent substitute for a mine, or to have fun with a helpless enemy at the expense of his life. This weapon was clearly designed with the sole aim of causing pain and suffering to any unlucky Covenant soldier to be hit by one of these deadly weapons. Can be loaded into grenade launchers, but it will be set to impact detonation.

Here's MY suggestion for a weapon. You wanted it, you got it. Since there pretty much is a place taken by every kind of weapon (rocket launcher, pistol, sniper rifle, grenade launcher, etc.) I'll just rework the assault rifle.

The assault rifle will be less rapid than the smg, more powerful than the smg, more accurate than the smg, features a 2x zoom and when zoomed it fires slightly less rapid and slightly more accurately, it is almost as accurate as the old pistol in halo 1 but just slightly less, less powerful than the old pistol in halo 1, has a higher rate of fire than the old pistol in halo 1.

This weapon would effectively be a "medium-range" weapon and a viable option besides the battle-rifle. In fact, they would be opposits, just as the new pistol and the SMG are.

once again...motorcycle instead of a bicycle.

what you can do, however, is apply that "napalm" effect to other weapons. such as the fuel rod gun. instead of having it fire rapidly, like in the PC version, make it have a charge up shot similar to the pistol except it increases the explosion radius and damage of the blast. and as a side effect, it sets the surface that it impacted on on fire.

Is the flamethrower confirmed? That could be a good addition. A scope-less, more powerfull pistol than the 12.7mm/.50 cal M6D would definetly be cool as well.

I also liked the minigun idea, but that might unbalance the game a little too much.

Heres my idea (it might have been said before, I dont know). A Covenant equivalent of the shotgun. I'll elaborate when I think of ways this could work. Or maybe you guys could help...


Oh yeah, and the prototype replacement for the M-4 and M-16 is called the XM-8, I think. The OICW has been scrapped by the military (too expensive to mass produce). Check out this site for all your modern weapon questions...http://world.guns.ru/main-e.htm

you are a smart forum poster, thank you for posting. as for a covie shotgun, i always had an idea that if you held the trigger on the plasma rifle you could charge up like the plasma pistol. except when you released the bolt it would just split into many plasma bolts, like a shotgun. however, adding this would remove the automatic fire of the plasma rifle, which no one wants to do.............

I'll make this easier for people like Sc0pe who like uber weapons:

Think practical. Can you really imagine a marine with a railgun on his shoulder, killing every Elite in sight? No. The military doesn't need such a ridiculous thing, when the battle rifles do just fine.

If you don't like that, then no. Just no. Forget it. No, I don't care, no. Bungie WILL NOT put weapons like that in Halo 2, and you can trust me.
And want support fire? That's what snipers are for. You can have a few back you up with Battle Rifles while you go in with SMGs. Or have some with Sniper Rifles shoot the guys up front while you charge in a warthog.

I want an actual frag grenade, maybe covie, that shoots something like needle shards, but the shards fade away after they go like 8 feet or so.

And this is probably stupid, but it would be neat to be able to shoot out Elite's shield generators, or SPARTAN's fusion pack.

And this is a special effect, but when the fuel rod plasma bolt hits, a melting/burning effect on your armor would be sweet.

Yeah, thats kinda what I had in mind. Something that shoots similar to the plasma rifle in standard fire, but can charge up and discharge several, like 5+, shots each equal in damage to a plasma pistol charge shot. They would disperse in a wider pattern than the human shotgun, but up close it would be devastating.

Obviously it should probably be a two hand weapon, not dual-wieldable.

And the napalm grenade thing is kinda cool, but I think it is a little unbalanced. But, probably the best so far (unless you think mine is the best, I don't like to "toot my own horn")

I also would like to see a new covenant gernade but instead it blows on impact it cannot stick because it explodes as soon as it hits somthing. Also because it is maybe a little to power full the longer you hold it after the saftey pin, in this case because its a covie weapon a button instead,the lower effectiveness of the explosion.Since you could throw it right away also the longer you hold it would depend on how far it goes. it will be called the ii gernade standing for impulse/impact

That's not too bad factor, I think it could work. But it really doesn't sound that appealing, no offense.

And actually, I don't like the mode thing either, but you really need to let up.

Sorry for the triple post.

Being optimistic isn't a bad thing first of all, and I'm not, I'm pessimistic. You just must be sadistic, or really really rude.


And yeah, the Sarge is cool.
But I uh, didn't want to *be* him, because I'm not even black, for starters.

Did I not just explain how I don't want to be freaking BLACK? I'm not racist, but I'm not a wigger either. This is a weapons topic. We aren't going to talk about people inbetween races now. Go to a Micheal Jackson website if you like "wiggers" or even "nrackers(or brackers?)".

And this further proves my point of how you are rude.
