I love this idea. You shouldn't be allowed to use powerful weapon if your not good. That way noobs get owned even worse. Not only are they bad but now they are being continuously killed with powerful weapons. Seriously thats a terrible idea.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I dislike this idea for the way Halo is set up, or any other way the game could change. Its just not fair to new players.

Maybe it would be a good idea if the higher your rank you unlock upgrades for weapons.
For example

Grade - captain
Weapon - Sniper

Unlocks
Silencer (seargent)
enhanced scope (captain)
LOCKED
LOCKED.....

I dunno just a thought

so ru saying this idea is good or bad? cuz first u said it was good and then u said it was terrible.

He was being sarcastic at first. He thinks it's a bad idea. I think it would be a good idea for campaign, though, not multiplayer.

  • 07.26.2009 12:28 PM PDT

Terrible idea. The strength that a higher ranked player exerts over a lower ranked player, if any, should come from his own determination or abillities, not because he can use weapons that the other player can't.

  • 07.26.2009 12:42 PM PDT

Death to rank junkies.

No. That would only encourage people to become rank junkies, which takes away the fun of the game.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

It wouldn't work for balance, because a General, in addition to any practice they have, would also have an equipment advantage. And a good portion of Halo is controlling the weapons, and this idea would just allow any generals to have "weapon lockers", if other players couldn't pick up weapons.

What I do want, and you inspired this idea, is to have unlockable weapon skins.
These would have no effect on gameplay, outside of aesthetics, but would give a reward to someone who spends a lot of time with the game.

It would work like the armor system from Halo 3, you have the weapon list and you scroll through the options for each weapon.

Just think of all the skins they could have, joke and otherwise.

Vancouver BC, Canada.

Some players aren't good enough to reach a certain rank, so it would be unfair to them.

ok this may or may not be a good idea, but..... unlockable weapons? for instance, if you are a rank lower than captain u cant use sword until u reach that rank? u can still find the sword on the map, but u cant pick it up. Something like that. also with vehicles and equipment. im not sure this is a good idea myself, but tell me, whatya think?


Or instead unlocable abilities and accesories like a silencer . Reload fast . Run faster. A scope . More Ammo for a weapon etc

  • 07.27.2009 11:44 AM PDT

Upgrades for each rank sound much better. Something along the lines of:

Longer Sword Range
Enhanced Scope (4x can go to 10x, 10x can go to 40x, etc.)
More options in Forge (after Forging a certain amount of maps)
Better radar
More weapons can be Dual Wielded (Double BRs? lol)
Brutes can be used
Hijacking becomes easier
Auto Aim can be toggled off and on
Spartans can carry 2 extra frag grenades
Elites can carry 2 extra Plasma nades
Brutes can carry 2 extra Spike nades
Unlockable Emblems

You know... if Bungie doesn't hate us.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

And once you become general, you can pick up a golden BR the insta kills. Such a great idea.

  • 07.27.2009 12:55 PM PDT

i bet it would be a great idea if they made a halo mmorpg (just putting my idea out there)

um don't fell like Halo at all no dont like it.

  • 07.27.2009 2:05 PM PDT

i dont like this idea at all. I think all weapons should be available from the start, but you should possibly be able to earn upgrades for the weapons as you rank up with that weapon, similar to the COD4/5 system, if you get 25 kills with it you get a silencer, 75 kills you get a new sight, etc. I personally dont think that Bungie would want to limit the newer players to what exact weapons they can use, purely because they didnt do this is halo CE, halo 2 and halo 3.

cool idea but their going to need to give a little more weapons,and it would be cool to put it elites vs. spartans and sniper spartans wear scout,rifleman is mark6/5 or you can poll a gow and make a character for both sides,so if your put on elites you will wear the armour you chose for elite and spartans you wear armour you chose to be on spartan when your on that team(cant explain it that much)

I really disagree with this, it just takes Halo a step further towards Call of Duty.
So when the game comes out, no one can use the sniper/rockets/shotty/sword... that's not fun, and it also teaches people to play the wrong way, if they've been ignoring rockets because they can't pick them up they will not be good at capturing it as a power weapon and if they do, will be untrained with it.

  • 07.28.2009 7:11 AM PDT

no i hope not

  • 07.28.2009 7:22 AM PDT

It might work for ranked playlists, but for social playlists it definately wouldn't work.
