Subject: Bring back the Fuel Rod.

I hope that everyone here has played Halo 1 on the PC. If you do then you can remember what the Fuel Rod Gun was capable of in online games. The current Fuel Rod is a joke. It barely does anything to be considered a power weapon. It is more like an oversized Brute Shot. Plus it is even kept out of Matchmaking due to lag.

Now seriously, lets bring back the old beast of a cannon we used to know. The one that had battery instead of a magazine fed system, that could kill in two blasts (if I can remember correctly), and the shots that arc down making it a useful mortar cannon with the capability of "WTF how did I kill him" kills.

I agree. I think it should be like the Halo CE Fuel Rod Cannon, only slightly less powerful. Having it too powerful would just wreck up Matchmaking. It should definitely be more common in Campaign than it was in Halo 3, at least.

The Fuel Rod would be cool to have in this game. Also in ODST's Firefight.

Foman is awesome!

This idea is also full of win.

Agreed (just lower the battery limit). The FRG in H2 and 3 is an apple jello shooter.
