I think almost all weapons need a headshot bonus.

Battle Rifle, Pistol, Carbine - Instant kill to unshielded enemies

Assault Rifle, Shotgun, Mauler, Spiker, Machine Gun Turret - Increased damage to unshielded enemies

Plasma Pistol, Plasma Rifle, Plasma Cannon - Increased plasma stun

Beam Rifle, Sniper Rifle - Instant kill to normal shielded enemies

What are your thoughts?

J-H

They do have a bonus...I mean, i'm not sure about Plasma weapons but all the others seem to have a headshot bonus and probably will continue to have them in Reach.

Campiagn Kill Count :31,745. And growing.

The Revisionaries- One of the greatest screenshot groups on B.net. With 250 members and growing.

Erm, maybe. BUT headshots DEFINITELY need to be reduced in their autoaim and hitbox. Remember in Halo CE how a headshot only counted if it was a certain part of the top of the head? That NEEDS to happen to instead the speed of gameplay and decrease the number of beatdowns thrown down every second.

Weapons also need increased rate of fire and accuracy.. Not all, but most. It's absurd that the beatdown can be someones ToD on a medium-large sized map. That would bring back the CE feel and fun.

Stun, like you said would be great for plasma weapons. And increased damage.

And no. No weapons except those with instant headshot kills had increased levels of damage when fired at the head. That might be cool to see in reach though.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

In Halo CE the Plasma Rifle did increased damage when you shot the head, but the AR and Plasma Pistol did not.

not to into that kinda shortens the length and intensity of fights

Thats wrong, to return the CE feel, the Melee needs to be weaker, not weapons stronger (other than plasma, it definitely needs a pat on the ass)

3 Melee hits in Halo 1 I think it was like 5 in Halo 2 because almost everything in Halo 2 was UBER weak.
