Subject: new weapons- only for campaign, or MM too?

will we/should we be seeing the new weapons that are in the campaign being integrated into MM? your thoughts, from the community and/or bungie employees themselves : )

No on the matchmaking.

no, we aren't or no, we shouldn't see them in MM? specifics, plz : )

  • 06.02.2009 2:31 AM PDT

I doubt it. There would be no need for a silenced smg in MM

Although, whos to say new mythic maps = ODST Weapons in forge
We got a golf club in sandbox anything is possible

exactly, i mean the golf club was just a skin over the hammer traits. who says they couldn't put a silenced smg skin over the ones we already have and add those to the weapons page in forge? : )

The matchmaking is not changing, I think most know that by now. Especially with the inclusion of a beta for a new multiplayer experience.

Because the skin wouldn't change the action of the SMG. It would still be a regular SMG that happens to look like the sneaky badger version

I doubt they will be in MM, Maybe firefight.

But the golf club was not a weapon, you could not spawn with it, it was not even under the same category as the hammer. And that is forge where you can do what you want. How many golf clubs have you seen in Team Mythic?

what im trying to get from you is your opinion, too. are you by the books "heres what they said, my opinion is the same" or do you imagine new things as well? i for one, would like to see the new weapons integrated into matchmaking. freshen things up a bit. : )

You can still change everything about the SMG, including adding a silenced option, in future DLC maps. In Sandbox we have 2 types of Hornet. It's possible to have 2 types of weapons, vehicles, scenery, everything!

Multiplayer Gameplay
Halo:CE------------------Reach--------Halo2-----------------H alo3
Campaign Experience
Reach----Halo:CE-----------------ODST-----Halo2---------Halo3

Glad that Halo 3 garbage is dead, thanks to Reach.
Unfreakenbelievable!!

The ODST Campaign and firefight are completely seperate from the Multiplayer online feature. Either way, adding things such as new weapons cannot simply happen. It would require that EVERYONE have the expansion or the new weapons, and since that isn't possible it can't be implemented into MM.

who says you have to spawn with silenced smg's? they could be spawned somewhere on the map. imagination people, use it : )

  • 06.02.2009 2:40 AM PDT

This is highly unlikely.

Mainly due to the fact that they would only be on the 3 maps that come with ODST.

I imagine just as much as the next guy, but I also think logical. And the logical thing is there will be no new weapons in matchmaking because it is still Halo 3. If it were going to happen, why even release ODST on another disc and not just have it as a download? Because there will be no new weapons added to the game of Halo 3. Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST owners will be playing the same matchmaking, that's like trying to get a Totodile on Pokemon Blue.

they could put it in an update : (

i know what you are trying to say, rell57, but think with an open mind. im sure if enough people asked nice enough, and put enough input and ideas, there could be a lot of possibilities. bungie is known for taking such an interest in its community, so whats the point in NOT talking about new ideas? who knows? maybe they might like it.

Saying that they could be FORGE weapons only on the NEW 3 mythic maps which will come with ODST or Downloaded sepreate. Just excludes this problem

While I understand you, you seem to be missing where the new ideas are indeed going. There's a completely new multiplayer coming. It's almost 2010 and Halo 3 is about to start feeling like Halo 2 in 2007. And while some may stay, many will be moving away to something where there will be new ideas, new weapons, and new environments. Only thing that will and should be changing about Halo 3 is multiplayer maps and playlist updates.
