For the last time its TURRETS not TORRENTS. A TORRENT is either a peer to peer file sharing protocol or a violently fast stream of water. A TURRET is a self-contained weapons platform housing guns and capable of rotation. And TURRENT isn't even a word.
Personally I think it would be awesome to have a make your own weapon thing in Halo: ODST. It would work in a similar way to the custom power up, and would be used in firefight as your secondary spawning weapon. Each option would have a budget similar to forge so that you couldn't max out each option. Each of the three categories of weapon would behave in a similar fashion to the weapon they look like. Each person could have a certain number of custom weapons saved to their profile, and enable custom weapons as an object in firefight. You could then select your secondary weapon like you do in custom game, but for each player individually. The following are the three basic categories I came up with.
Bullet (looks like a BR)
Zoom- y/n
Burst- 1/2/3/4/5/auto
Zoom burst- 1/2/3/4/5/auto
Damage- 1-15
Headshot capable- y/n
Silenced- y/n
Clip- 10-50
Max ammo- 10-300 (must be a multiple of the clip)
Plasma (looks like a yellow plasma rifle)
Single shot/auto
Overcharge- y/n
Damage- 1-15
Overcharge takes down shields- y/n
Overcharge stalls vehicles- y/n
Overcharge damage- 15-35
Shot charge usage- 1-20
Overcharge shot charge usage- 10-30 (must be greater than single shot usage by at least 10)
Rocket (looks like a Halo 1 fuel rod cannon - which was purple)
Rocket/fuel rod
Tracking- y/n
Zoom- y/n
Damage- 50-150
Splash damage radius- 5-15 meters
Rate of fire- 1 projectile every 1-5 seconds
Clip- 1-5
Max ammo- 5-20 (must be a multiple of the clip)
My thoughts anyway.
Personally, I would use it to make the BR from the Halo 2 E3 trailer. The one that has a 3 shot burst when non zoomed and is single shot while zoomed. I've always wanted to use that weapon.
Also included in the weapon maker would be a chart that shows how many shots it will take to kill each opponent in firefight, as well as how many it would take to kill a Spartan in matchmaking (for scaling how effective your weapon is) both in the body and the head. Also included will be a chart with the default settings of the BR, plasma rifle, rocket launcher, fuel rod cannon, auto mag, and the smg.
