this would be tight but it might be to complicated for the newer gamers witch could lower the population for match making.

"Your an idiot." - Oh, the irony...

I've read the book, but it would probably be a little overwhelming having to choose between what kind of ammo you want to use. I want customization as much as the next guy, but that is kind of unnecessary. Also, customizing the Sniper Rifle would be pointless. Changing the trigger/barrel won't help you, and neither will taking the scope off. Besides, it has 2 pretty good magnifications, you won't need to change it up too much.

I like this silenced idea, though. Maybe if there is a campaign mission where you have to be stealthy, you could start off with silenced weapons.

you know that you can do that in real life also...

The book also says that Elites don't appear till halfway through the battle of reach (which lasted about two hours). Think Bungie is going to make a game based exactly on the book?

Changing the trigger would change your rate of fire with the sniper rifle

Changing the Barrel would increase or decrease range

Changing the scope would ... change your scoping abilities. zoom in more or less.

also. ---> As you level up in match making you get better upgrades for your sniper

This isn't Call of Duty. Lets keep it that way.

KEEP IT CLEAN

Okay I didn't read any of the replies because I don't want the book to be spoiled but I know that there are interchangable parts on different weapons in the book. That doesn't necessarily mean it will be in the game though. Plus, that would make the game suck, in my opinion. Maybe not though, it depends how Bungie tackles the issue.

What are you doing on the internet? Go read or finish the book, it is amazing.

I don't want it to be like COD4 . I don't like Cod4. That's why I don't play it. However there is a massive population of gamers that are losing interest in the Halo Franchise and I think Bungie has make a lot of hard choices in the next year. They have to attract new halo gamers but not lose old ones.


Dude everyone will play Reach. Halo = $$$.

People will play both.

  • 06.10.2009 12:04 AM PDT

all the people who bought halo 3 and then played it until Call of duty 4 came out and then stopped will probably only play modern warfare 2, unless Halo Reach looks significantly different than Halo 3

Customization would be nice, I think the level that Rainbow Six: Vegas and Ranbow Six: Vegas 2 use are a good standard, I think maybe slightly more would be good.

Assault rifles and SMG's had selectable rates of fire and you were able to take on/off silencer at your leisure. Each gun was able to have one attachment such as:

ACOG scope
6x Scope
Laser Sight
Red Dot Sight
Recoil Control Stock (for Heavy Machine guns)
6x + 12x Scope (for sniper rifles)
Extended Magazine

Maybe in Reach you could choose between all of those (future versions of course) and also:
-Collapsible/Standard stock (trade between running speed and mobility and accuracy)
-Underslung Grenade Launcher (like a modern day M203 or M203A1)
-Some kind of "Snake Cam" from splinter cell or camera to see around corners
-Maybe some kind of Infrared Marker, so that if you hit an enemy with it, he is marked for the rest of your team (works with the whole Spartans are a squad idea)
-Underslung shotgun (like xls266 or whatever the F its called)


Also, all of this is assuming that Halo: Reach is actually like R6V, because I really hope it is, that game is one of my hall of fame all time favorites, excellent cover mechanics, IMO some of the best gameplay ever made (except Halo 3 lol)

Five years older and wiser
The fires are burning, I'm fire, never tire
Slay warriors in the forests, and on hire

if we have customizable weapons.. halo would become a completely different game.

in case any of you forgot in halo we have to pick up the weapons, we dont start off with the guns we want. also if we started with the weapons we want and customized them, halo will die from people spawning with swords and rockets and just owning everyone. let alone the fact that people will upgrade their rocket lancher to a "NuKe LaNaUcHeRzZ" and there swords in to fuel rod sword.

If this happens dont expect to see another halo

Y'know what dude? Stop whining about how CoD is better then Halo, and go play it if you get off on it so much.

I don't think that is what he is talking about.

Maybe this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOPMOD

Customizable M4 used by United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM)

I don't even like Call of Duty.
That is just a fact.
If bungie wants as many people to buy halo reach they are going to need to change it up.

I only want customization as deep as scope, silencer, grenade launcher, etc, trigger, etc is way too deep and yes they had customisation in the books, the books were meant to be realistic and in real life there's no such thing as a gun that can't be opened. <debatable>

  • 06.10.2009 4:58 AM PDT

that would be soooo cooooooool!!!!!!!!!!

  • 06.10.2009 5:17 AM PDT

IM A LEGIT 16

That way every combinisation would have to be balanced, and one would probably be better than the rest.

Everyone would go along with the same guns in the end, and Bungie would have wasted their time on a useless update.

In the Halo books, Sentinal Beams are explosive.
Do you really think the weapons there should be used?

It would be cool if you could find purchase stalls operated by the Superintendent where you could buy weapon attachments to improve or modify weapons, like Resident Evil 5 (which is an addictive but stupid game which has lost all of it's orginality).
