Subject: The fuel rod gun - improvements and appearance

Perception is everything.

I want to know why we never see the fuel rod gun in matchmaking. It seems like it's only there to be there. Along with it appearing in matchmaking, I would like to see some improvements to it. The fuel rod gun shoots slower than the rocket launcher, and its less powerful. To me, the fuel rod always seemed like the covenant equivalent. That doesn't sound very fair however. I think the speed should be increased by a ton, making it faster than the rocket launcher. I also think the power of it should be decreased to where it takes three shots to kill someone, but the range should be increased to that of a rocket launcher. What's your take on this?

I say bring back the Halo PC Fuel Rod Gun. But make it have less shots.

Show Faith/Defy Fate

Since its a radio active weapon it should have an effect where if hit your shields stay down longer than usual.

The Halo 2 Fuel Rod was amazing, I remember always searching for one in Campaign.

And they should incorporate some kind of aiming mechanism, it took forever to get used to the right range and such.
