I think the distance of the length thrown of the grenade is about how long you hold the trigger for, so if you overpowered your hold of the trigger you would commit suicide! Maybe that would change the gameplay to much, and take greater skill to kill or stick your opponent. Many shooters have this technique such as GRAW. It is certainly something to experiment and play around with in the beta.

I'd like to see a rifle that has 3 modes of bullet shooting and plays the rock, paper, sissors role; ticking off MLG pro's in thier game. hah! ^-^

I though of a old xbox game called BLACK. from this game i thought of the idea for the rifle. If the default controls were configurerated so that if you pressed up on the D-pad it would switch the mode of fire. This is why i like the game BLACK.
The modes would go like this: 1st: Fully Automatic, 2: 3 round burst shot, and 3: single bullet burst shot. 1st mode is= to the AR, and can have some more accuracy. 2nd is = to the BR(this mode can stay at the accuracy and efficentcy as it is). 3rd: this will be powerful single burst shots.
I think that this should shoot as fast as 2/5 or half the rate of the BR of the magnum fire rate. This should take 3shots atleast to the face and 4 on the body of the person to kill. It will shoot about the same range of the BR and its shotting crosshair will be a dot than that of a sniper. The gun's crosshair should change with the switch of each mode.
Why do i suggest a rock, paper,sissors role? There is people who are MLG, non-MLG, and others who are tired of the same ol, same ol. This would add variety to the game. Better is that MLG can keep it's mouth shut about 1 gun and realize that the BR is not the biggest and the baddest rifle of the game. Still if they think the 1 burst shot mode can be MLG like the BR than they'll be wrong. The gun's mode is powerful but it takes more shooting precision than a sniper. If they use this mode it can easily be countered by rapid fire.
No im not tring to get the carbine in this. The game BLACK has 3 modes for guns that can be a rifle or smg. this is not deriving and more than a bring back. This is the root for an advancement of something that should've happen. This is something that some people have been waiting for too.
What would it look like? Well for starters i would like for it to have a long frame like the covenant carbine. Parts of the carbin that have plates in places that are importaint is cool and to have holes in parts of it for the heat release. The AR: i like the display on it where it is the process of the reload. This special gun would have a more unique sequence of a reload like this. The BR: it's great for the gun to have a long barrel. This special gun should have a more uniqe scope+ using the crosshair would be like a dot-sight. The Magnum: i like the white metal finish. It will make the gun stand out more in it's design.
I know this is a tall order but i know that this can make a real difference do the use of new weapons. Many will be thankful and others will be amazed. If this idea is accepted by the group who are going to make Halo:reach than this will be a great strat for the game

SHooterclips.com is a horrible sight. The Administrator of the site favors people. I didnt do anything wrong but the admin wont give me my video. It's horrible. Do not use it. Unless you plan on becoming good friends with him then dont join

I like to derp and stuff. I have a YouTube channel~

Derp

For MP, like an airstrike, it'd be awesome to be able to call in either a MAC gun round onto the battlefield or an small plasma bombardment.

Tank beats everything!

Visit my youtube channel for Vehicular awesomeness!

Your ideas are great, and would push Halo Reach to great potential. We may see some of these things in the game, but who knows? Bungie has a unique style of doing things

You forgot equipment OP. Beta style tripmines anyone?
I think Bungie should just keep the same weapons from Halo 3 and just fine tune the balance of the weapons.

I'm not sure if I'd want equipment back. I feel it just randomizes gameplay. I would like the trip mine back for sure, though, and if it were the only type of equipment it could take up 2 grenade slots (just cycle to it with LB to equip it to throw).

  • 08.04.2009 11:48 PM PDT

hunter cannon as much as i would like to use that as a weapon it would be just to easy to kill ppl it's like a big version of the sentinel beam and much more powerful and if it was made like the ones in halo 1 then it would be just like the fuel rod cannon so a hunter cannon would be cool but sorta pointless and a big shotgun i already have enough trouble getting away from normal shotguns lol but all the rest of the weapons would be awesome to see

  • 08.04.2009 11:58 PM PDT

well equipment is important like if we have no weapons to take down a warthog or some other vehicle (except mongoose those are really easy) then what are we gonna use to take it down a BR? no we will need something like a drainer so yah equipment is important but the trip mine is just lame i can't seam to ever use that thing. i am a little upset about slots for holding grenades only 2 grenades per a slot but i guess it would be a little cheap if we did get 16 grenades lol

They could just re-balance weapons so you won't need anti-vehicle weapons to kill a vehicle, so long as you have proper aiming skill (like it was in Halo 1).

It would be helpful for good example that if a wharthog lost some of its armor the gas/fuel tank was visible. What could do is pull out a smg, pistol, or even such a gun then skream you head off in the mic saying " DIE YOU MOTHER F*64ng DLG S.O.B Noo0B!!", blast that tank and whatch that baby go off like a 4th of July.
That was a dramatic example for the average gamer to perform. If you get it im glade that you take it like a joke; but if it gets you like a kick to the nuts than im sorry for the terrible example ive set for you.

The MA5K is much better than the MA5B. Don't worry it would make a great starting weapon. I've used it in Halo PC and I like it better than the MA5B.Of course it might function differently than it did in the Halo PC, that's up to Bungie.

The Spartan Laser seems to have autoaim, at least against vehicles, remove that and it would be harder to use against them. To make it less effective against players on foot maybe the laser radius could be lowered. Between that and the charge up time the Spartan Laser would be fair.

I would Love to see that spear weapon that the Elites used in Halo Wars. those were pretty beastly and they would be the Elite version of the gravity hammer. Except with a slashing attack with the melee button and a dash-stab attack like the energy sword but eith longer range and without a huge gravity explosion

  • 08.05.2009 6:53 PM PDT

That is pretty much the sword...But cooler.

M99 Stanchion Gauss Rifle: replaces the Spartan Laser. Though the SL offered a great new spin on the anti-vehicle niche, I felt that it was too easy to use because it was virtually hit-scan since the laser fires at lightspeed. The Gauss Rifle would have a 5x and 15x scope, the same power as the Spartan Laser, but you would need to lead with it, requiring a new type of skill to take out vehicles, rather than just point and click.


Hitscan is fine with the SL, because it does not fire immediately. The charging effectively balances out the hitscan nature of the Laser. Also, the M99 is anti-material. It isn't an effective anti-vehicle weapon. It is more of a sniper than a anti-vehicle weapon.

On your other weapons:

Mostly, the weapons in Halo 3, I felt were balanced the best out of any of the three Halo games. There really isn't a whole lot that needs to be changed. It is possible to add in some of the new weapons you have, but I am not sure that you really have the right ideas in terms of balance. I'll leave it to the experts.
