Subject: New (Or should I say old?) Weapons in Reach

It came from the left.

I know. Searchbar.

I think that we should have some new weapons implemented. I'm not saying add a portable, hand held, MAC gun or anything, but something more like adding a revolver. Maybe the shotgun we've grown to love and whore, but add in another model. Maybe add in some new melee weapons, such as Fred's combat knife, or a stiletto (Although a stiletto would not be much help against someone with shields).

Or you know, they could implement some kind of a grenade launcher attachment to the assault rifle.

OK, I know. STFU, GTFO.

Hahaha GTFO! J/k.. Im with you dude.. Id personally like to see different ammo for the weapons.. They havent gone this direction yet. i.e. slugs/buckshot/explosive rounds for shotgun.. hollow-point/armor-piercing/brass casing bullets for mag.. just some examples and have them around the map for pickups like the weapons are. Just a thought.

I wouldnt mind a grenade launcher as a normal weapon on its own, Nothing like a brute shot, I would like one that lobbed grenade's just like the spartan threw them, Covenant could have there own version but with plasma's.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite airstrike.

There's always that grenade launcher the Warthogs could upgrade to in Halo Wars; judging from the 3 pixels that made it up it isn't too different from modern revolver-style grenade launchers.

However I'd also like to see assault variants of weapons, namely assault shotguns like the SPAZ-12 and AA-12, that latter which can also double up as a grenade launcher. Modified ARs would also be nice, with either an underslung GL or shotgun.

It's not grenade launcher though, it's a gauss cannon.

The Hard Sound Rifle would be cool. Or, like we have an M16 (A fairly light assault rifle) we have the AK-47 (A heavier assault rifle) we could have our MA5B Assault Rifles in Halo, and another, heavier type of assault rifle.

G.O.R. Concurs

Plus the MA5K, Both the MA5s from halo 1 and 3 (MA5B and MA5C) the Stanchion Sniper rifle, and the M6J Carbine.

Perception is everything.

Remote trip mines that actually kill people.

Love sniping? SNIPERS INTERNATIONAL!!!

  • 06.11.2009 12:34 PM PDT

There should be a mission where you operate one of those Mech things( I think its called the Cyclops) from Halo Wars. Just like punching -blam!- out of the way. they could add a chain gun(like the one on a Warthog) just for a good measure.

I'd like to see some earlier models of weapons, like maybe a primitive AR w/o an ammo counter.

  • 06.11.2009 12:40 PM PDT

It came from the left.

Yeah. Definitely a part w/ a Cyclops. And a Hawk. That would be tight. Or a mission on an elephant. But anyways, there does need to be more variation in the weapons.

Yes. And a stick! We can go full circle! OMIGOD! STICK BALL TO KILL PEOPLE! I just figured out the whole point of the game. Hit rocks into people's faces using only a stick.

I wouldn't expect new weps.... this is based on the first halo book The Fall of Reach, which takees place before any of the halo series

All the Handguns we've seen in Halo are magnums with explosive bullets, there is no need for a revolver.


Maybe a new sniper rifle, we have heard about the M99 Special Application Scoped Rifle and the Hard Sound Rifle, both would be badass.
