Brute Shot.
This is a great anti-vehicle weapon, and it is useful against players, but it disappoints me a bit. It does enough damage, but i think the blast could be larger and have more force. I mean, it launches grenades yet it barely moves people you hit. It just slows them down a bit.

Brute Chopper.
Same as the Brute Shot. Improve the blast of its missiles. Also, make it easier to either exit the chopper when it is flipped on its side, or make it easier to get it back into normal position.

Frag Grenades.
They seem much less powerful then they used to be. I rarely get a kill with a single grenade. It just drops the enemies shields, even at very close ranges. Also, the blast radius could be improved. A grenade just make the player hit by it bounce up a little bit.

Damage to vehicles could be improved. It seems like a warthog should explode after a grenade goes off directly beneath it, then another hits it as it flips over. Instead, the gunner (and sometimes the driver) get out with low shields and flip it back up.

Plasma Grenades.
Same as Frag Grenades, but have a longer timer on the explosion. They took way longer to explode in CE and i think it played a little better.

MA5K.
I say remove AR and BR for an MA5K. Halo CE had an Assault Rifle, and it worked fine. Halo 2 had a Battle Rifle, and no one really cared that the Assault Rifle was gone. Now that we have both there is a constant fight over which takes more skill, which should be starting weapon etc. The MA5K would be fully automatic, but would fire much slower than an Assault Rifle. Holding the trigger fires automatically, but pulling it fires one shot at a time. These shots are not as powerful as a full Br burst, but can be fired faster than a BR and dont spread as much. It would even out and i think would make the game more fun.


Do you think weapons or vehicles could be improved? If so, post ideas here.

Time flies like an arrow; fruits flies like a banana.

I think you might want to add a flame suit too, now you asked for extra powerful frags.

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

Brute Shot: Only need more force with explosions against vehicles.
Chopper: It fires cannons, and is fine as it is.
Frag: NO INSTANT KILL, NEVER WILL HAPPEN! God, you too want the game to be like CoD.
Plasma grenades? The fuse then was painfully long. Grenade jumping would be nearly impossible.
MA5K: A carbine version of the MA5. No need o replace the BR and AR.

Halo CE Magnum and AR were BEAST. I think they should come back in Reach just like how they were in CE.
I have to argue with you about the damage of the Brute Shot and Brute Chopper, because it's fine how it is, and still pretty damn annoying to get hit by.
Vehicles all together are fine, but I hate how it takes multiple shots from a Scorpion or Wraith to down a hornet. Since there were hornets in Halo Wars maybe we'll see them in Reach.
I think they should bring in all kinds of new weapons such as another single shot weapon, without a scope. The time it takes place though may cancel that out, but what you said about the M45K sounds cool.

I dont want frags to be like Cod. I just dont like how a grenade placed right under someone won't kill them if they move a bit or jump.

ACTA NON VERBA

I'd really like to see this game be a little darker and really show the grittyness of war, especially one where humanity is losing against a crusade calling for our eradication. That being said wouldn;t it be awesome if the campaign maps were slightly less linear and there was more going on each mission. Reach was total war on a UNSC stronghold against the largest Covenant force yet. This game should have mindblowing playing fields. I say this to show that vehicles should be absolutely devastating in campaign. Remember the banshees from the Halo: Landfall trailer? Or the first trailer from Halo Wars? Imagine air raids from banshees destroy your warthog convoy and everything is exploding. You'd have to call in something else equally fast...Sparrowhawks. Sparrowhawks would be awesome with VTOL capabilities and speed even if we didn't get to pilot them. yea, i wrote a novel just to say "sparrowhawk"
