okay what would you guys think if bungie were to add these two things

weapon attachments like a scope for the pistol you could pick up on the map turning it into a halo CE pistol, and a granade launcher that could be attached to an AR and a BR so you can shot granade farther away and with more acuracy

and how about some weapon skins you can unlock so when you go pick up the energy sword you pull out a katana or when you pick up a burt shot it shaped like a grunt you know stuff like that

feel free to say what kinds of weapon attachment or weapon skin you think may be cool while your at it to
ya i suck at spelling let it be

When you say skins...You mean like Call Of Duty 4 camouflages?
And in my opinion, you should be able to choose weapons you start with, not like Call of Duty, but like Battlefield: Bad Company. You have a class (Demolitions, Reconnaissance, Specialist, etc.) and in each class is one or more weapon systems. And you get to choose which one.

I would rather not turn Halo into a Call of Duty wannabe. I play Halo because it plays like Halo. The only thing i would change is spawning with your weapon of choice. Other than that IMO you would be ruining the brilliant formula that's been established.

alright but way not explain your opposition inseede of just out right saying no

  • 07.01.2009 1:19 PM PDT

There is one thing wrong with spawning with an exact weapon of choice... Imagine this,

Player A spawns with say, a Battle Rifle, hes trying to play the game like normal
Player B spawns with a Rocket Launcher and takes out everyone (Not fair at all)

They should keep the regular gametypes, but include one gametype where you can spawn with whatever weapon you want.

Because you know what will happen if they allow people to do this. Rockets, snipers, lasers, fuel-rods, shotguns, etc. It will be an explosion fest, and totally unfair/not fun.

But that is just one person's opinion.

when i say skins i mean it won't change game play it will just change how some weapons look when you pick it up so when you pull out the katana you unlocked it will work the same way the energy sword works, sort of like an easter egg like that grave hamer golf club on sand box

First of all, before posting your thread you should consider checking your spelling.
Secondly, this is the kind of thing that wont happen. Think of all the ideas that have been posted and how many have been used. Then think about where this idea would go.... The clues are there, you just have to do the maths...

It would ruin Halo. If the pistol comes with a scope then good, but if my pistol has a scope and your pistol has an extended magazine the game isn't very Halo anymore.

I would like to see both. It would be cool to unlock attachments and skins. You could have different ones like firebomb grenades, flares, spikers, tanquilizers, etc.

Here's a tip OP. Don't ever suggest anything that is any sort of change on the boards. B.net users HATE change.

If bungie includes it they will end up loving it though.... a man can wish :(

Its not change I hate, its ideas that change the fundamentals of Halo. Halo is the best game series out there and people want to ruin it with crazy -blam!- like a cover system, knives/human swords. going prone, sprinting, weapon customization, classed based multiplayer, custom classes like in CoD, armor that gives you unique abilities and Natal. All of those ideas change Halo into any other game series and something Halo has never been or never should be.

Go play something else if you want that crap.

Bullet _ Sponge i agree with you on the fact that weapon attachments would be alittle extreme but weapon skins are really more like easter eggs like sandboxs golf club grav hamer

Nah, it'd be weird. I want the Halo weapons to stay the same, I don't want any weapon attachments, skins, etc. That's just not Halo, but it could be cool if they put it in, we still don't know. I have to disagree, though.

Yes. Almost all of those things change the fundamentals of halo. BUT ALL WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IS SKINS AND ATTACHMENTS!!!!!! This isn't a custom class! It's a little color and a splash of stategy! It's nothing that will destroy the game!

Now, skins would be okay, I voted for that one, but attachments are things that I would not like in Halo. It'd be too easy to just switch your weapon into a Sniper Rifle, there's no challenge in killing other players to get a gun, etc.

The attachments idea would change the game too much. I don't care if the AR has a grenade launcher but you shouldn't be able to take it off and put something else on it. The skins idea doesn't bother me.

TYPING IN CAPS DOESN'T MAKE YOU RIGHT!!!
