If you don't like my driving, get off the sidewalk.

Anyone else looking forward to some new weapons with Halo: Reach???

I wouldn't mind a grenade launcher type weapon were you have to calculate the lob. Or maybe a human melee weapon *cough*katana*cough*

So post here any weapons you'd like to see in Halo: REACH

I'm like a rock. Hard, lazy, hopeless, and charismatic/boring.

I'm perfect, you're not. Can you handle that? I think I'll manage.

REDACTED!- means its not going to happen.

Don't expect anything bruty. But new weapons would be nice even if they are considered old.

I am flatterd that you botherd to look at my signature.

sad thing is info about new weapons is just out of reach.....




(horrible pun i know)

Adjust your strategy to the game, not the game to your strategy.

Yeah, they're planning something like that. It's a brute weapon that shoots grenades that explode on impact. It also has a blade on the front of it that does more damage than a standard melee. It has a clip of 6 grenades and can carry 2 clips, for a total of 12 grenades before you run out of ammo.

I can't think of many new guns, just variations of current ones. I'd like some new vehicles though

don't be a smart ass, im talking about serious lob. something that you can control the power and get grenades over rocks or walls.

if there's a katana in the game i wont buy it.

  • 06.09.2009 12:41 PM PDT

If there is any power to be found, it's within yourself, not your weapon.

Yeah, aside from revisions and variations, I can't think of any truly new weapons to add to the game. Maybe a small flamethrower that's a lot easier to use since the current one has too many drawbacks to warrant its weight, and then there is my rocket-propelled machete, but...*shrug*

A special human melee weapon would be cool though. Something very quick and easy to use for those who prefer speed, maybe? Like a combo weapon that emphasizes technique rather than 1 hit kills.

I'd love to see a weapon ,in all seriousness, like the one one the spartans back on The Cole Protocol cover and behind the shield on the campaign difficulty icons. Which is in essence a futuristic machete. Maybe it could be connect to the melee attack.

And yes... I partly made this post to keep my topic alive =-(

the katana wouldnt be that great yaknow i was thinking sum of the old wepons that were supost to end up in halo 1 like the original turret and so on and so on

  • 06.09.2009 7:54 PM PDT

explosive charges

  • 06.09.2009 7:56 PM PDT

I'm-A-Chargin My LAZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

technically they CAN'T add any new weapons, because it is a prequel. That wouldn't make any sense
Aside from the point, it would be cool to see some "discontinued" weapons.

The shotgun fills the role of the human's melee ranged weapon. Anyone who disagrees can kindly take it up with me via private messages.

Personally I think drones should be revamped and get their own weapons (stealing from that one forum ninja's thread but hell, he has a very good idea.) Something organic. That would be unique amongst the weapon sets. We got physical, energy, and brutal, but no organic weapons.

  • 06.09.2009 7:58 PM PDT

maybe they can make a gauss rifle like in halo contact harvest

It's like a retard riding a bicycle while eating hot wings.
Sometimes you have to take the bike seat off to really enjoy it.

katana

Technically, that's Japanese.

360 soon yay

ive gone through enough posts on these forums to make ones head esplode mainly people saying well in the book so & so happened and this and that etc etc well im gonna have to agree with an earlier post about it being a prequel and i be gloriously be happy if they brought the halo 1 pistol back (you could kill anyone with that remember man it was awesome) and as for assault rifles the MA5C is a must the smg will probably be in there say goodbye to the spartan laser though and airstrikes will be cool and a welcome addition to deal with hordes of grunts or elites and as far as im aware there were no brutes on reach although the book only covered a small area of reach ohh and CQC(close quarters combat) and combat knives would be so cool i mean the cutscenes from halo wars reaked awesome

You all are forgetting something: (according to the books) Reach was the jewel of Human technology, and the biggest center of human activity besides Earth. Much could have been lost with the fall of Reach. There might have been a whole slew of Spartan weaponry lost because of the Spartan's last stand. I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of new weaponry that's impossible for normal humans to wield.

Halo 3 included many new weapons that weren't shown in the first 2, so they will most certainly get away with adding even more.

Weapons such as:

Brute Spiker
Brute Mauler
Spartan Laser

etc.
