Subject: New equipment For Halo:Reach: Weapons, armor, gear, and other ects.

Although I agree with you on the most part, there are things I want to clear out.

Posted by: Rena_Dyne
The armor is the only thing that should be editable and customizable, since it's not really "Cannon" anyways.

With the exception of the Bungie armor, all of the armor types in Halo 3 are canon.

Jetpacks: Oh god, really? The anime is Not Cannon.

Actually, Halo Legends is canon, except for one episode; Odd One Out.
In the episode Prototype, the "Marine" is wearing a Cyclops like exo-suit and uses his jetpack in space. And, from what I understand, that suit is a prototype (explaining the name of the episode) and it's a marine in the suit, not a Spartan. I don't see why they would have such a suit in Halo Reach.

The whole "Class" Thing in multiplayer, this is actually one of the very few Ideas on here that I like, I'd love to smash a spartan down with an ODST soldier, or maybe as a grunt. Knock em down a few pegs so to speak, but balancing would be a huge issue.

I don't like the idea at all, there are very few class based shooters that I like, and making Halo a class based shooter wouldn't make it a Halo game anymore.


I would like to see Cyclops Exo-suits in the single player, maybe not usable by Spartans though.

I want the MA2B, a more compact version of the MA5B Assault Rifle from halo 1, 3, and halo wars.

not only that i want to see advancements to all the weapons i dont care if it doesnt make sense because reach takes place before halo, they should give us never befores seen weapons that become top sercet or somthing when halo is around or somthing like that

This would make sence since since the deleopment of weapons would change in the course of serious in some places and who knows what (the people who haven't read the books; since they spend thier money on other things) other things could be in that period that hasnt been shown in these post. Just repeating my statement that the humans started losing the war than they would have a certain variety of guns and not so ingenious gear.There would be more variety before an empire would have before it started to crumble from war. Also these post are suggestions i know a % of them won't make it some im trying to make good ideas that could fit in. The 3 mode rifle is a good idea even if you hate it for being from a different game.
And guys who hate the game for being a bunch of knockoff ideas. You should've realized that this game was by those who made Marathon. I know you hate Power amor, mariens, and aleins; but here's the truth. This game is a furtueristic-fantasy shooter is such a way. Some off our moderate tec is catching to it in a way. You guys can get a helping hand if you watch the history chanel and the show That's Impossible you will realize there is going to be shield generators. This is what tecnoligy is making possible. It features ray weapons and plasma shields that will come into the milliatry.

I also may mention that we are trying to bring ideas up for grabs and it intended to add variety. Maybe the settings for the weapons doesn't sound right; but im looking for a new balance. Somthings that will give you more tactics to work with and your average MLG pro will not be empowered even if the br wouldn't be in it. I though of things that could make the combat more inovative and diverse; instead of the basics.

i dont really like the general idea but the type of armor that your waering on a certain map should have a temporary upgrade like if you were playing on the pitt and you were wearing FULL cqb armor you would get an over all boost like damage speed agility higher sheild ect.. but if you were only whereing just the helmet or certain body peice you would only get a small upgrade.

I'd love the ability to customize my Spartan's armor even further by customising the Spartan's hands (the plates and gloves) as well as the legs and feet.


The armor customization would be great if the parts could actualy do something. Like a pair of gloves that makes meele attacks more damaging, faster reloads, better grenade tossing, or even incrased range of a sword launge. Boots that make you run faster, jump higher, made less motion so you can walk a little faster, stay in the air longer, better "cliff hanning", or better driving speed for vehicles. Special armors i mentioned would be great if you reached a level of rank that not only looked cool; but had cool abilities. Like armor unlocked at the Genral grade 1 class which improves every thing in your stats by +5% like health,damage,jump, recovery, and so. each grade you go up in the general class will give armor that does it like this: General grade 1: +5% all by armor. General grade 2: +10% all by armor. General grade 3: +15% all by armor. Genral grade 4: +20% all by armor.
I though of the name for it. Accelerator armor. you get the next mark of it as you improve the grade level of general that your in. so there'll be Accelerator Mark I, Accelerator Mark II, Accelerator Mark III, and Accelerator Mark IV.

New weapons that could work:

Firearms
Revolver - It would have to be huge, maybe even a .600 with the same armor-piercing high-explosive round design that the M6D uses. It would be believable for the UNSC to use very large caliber revolvers against enemies like Brutes.

Support Weapons
Flak Cannon - Like a giant shotgun used for taking out aircraft. Would be a support weapon. Most likely having a very low rate of fire and limited ammo.

Gauss Cannon - Like the one mounted to vehicles. Probably with a lower rate of fire, maybe the cooling mechanism is damaged when you rip it off making it overheat after every shot. Limited ammo.

Okay so if i may ask How does adding a Weapon that can do every thing the Carbine, The Assault Rifle and the Battle rifle Can do all in one weapon not unbalance the game???.

when thinking of weapons of stuff to add please keep in mind the game balancing as well. i would like to see more guns and im open to iseld but there are limit's and lets not forget the reason why the UNSC have removed some units like the Cyclop's is because they where not cost efficiant not due to it being classified.

And again with the armor boosts NOOO do you have any ideal how Unbalancing that would make the game????. if your a newbie or a casual player you would get owned. its like asking a garden snake to take on a cobra. or a level 20 taking on a level 30 in wow its just not fair in any way you look at it.

honestly im all in for the Flak canon and the mobile gauss, hell even a cluster bomb why not, Armor should remain for looks and no gun should have multiple functions. hell here is one for you A rhino That's something i would love to see.

i under stand technology and how it is advancing and please note that as of today there is still no such thing as a plasma shield nor are we close to making one. closest thing to a shield we have is called electromagnetic disruptive armor, witch means the metal gets stronger when electricity runs thought it.


Oh and C von smooth916E i think your trying to ruin halo for us hardcore since by the looks of it you don't even have and live account, so how would you know if sommething unbalances multiplayer or not.

Well it's because of my research on the matchmaking and those players. In my scientific way to say; my analysis shows that the average player was going pro for the AR at the start; but as the economy started to become bad than they turned to the BR so they could compete in MLG and get things that they can get in thier life.

Well lucky for us they already do... I mean this is gonna sound dorky but I read some of the Halo books... The Spartans have specialized jet packs for space missions such as deactivating ships.... Any way that already happened at least in the book... I do agree with you how ever hat they should take that concept into the game and improve upon it.... Maybe not to the same extent that you described but more subtly like to reach an abandoned ship from a UNSC Command Ship.. Another thing I would like to note.... DO NOT TAKE OUT THE ARMOR THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN THE GAME.... IN the Halo Books The Spartans exchange their armor when severely damaged or they need new tech.. I think you at Bungie should elaborate on the Current Armor Modification tools and make it possible to change every aspect.... like color of the shoulder pads... and maybe even make more aggressive looking hand plates... I realize that in the Halo games the Mark V armor is available only in Halo: CE which takes place after The Fall of Reach.... But even during this Spartans Lucy, Fred others Exchanged Armor... I believe even to HAYABUSA.... THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.....

No equipment, it just disrupts the flow of gameplay.

But we should be able to set up mines, C4 type explosives, etc.

New everything would be great. New armor and weapons are ESSENTIAL, new vehicles-why not, and equipment-sure. An idea for new equipment would be a sentry turret (kind of like the auto-turret from H3 but is harder to destroy and just a little more powerful cause the H3 one wasn't all that great).

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.”

Play Section 8 for how I would see a class based Halo turning out.

I want a portable man cannon, a beefier version of the grav lift.

MA5K would be nice. Less accurate, less damage, with recoil, AR that is suppressed (less sound, no "im getting hit" red arrows on the victim's HUD).

36 round/2 kills per magazine.

BR:
more time between bursts, 24 shots/ 2kills per magazine.

Carbine:
24 rounds per clip

Brute Shot: either go back to the Halo 2 version (arc, ricochet, 2 to kill) or increase the clip size to 8-10 and reserve ammo to 32/40

you next 4 guys are positive and i like those ideas. i looked at the preview of section 8 but not the demo(if its out now) The guy who talks about aremor getting messed up. What if there is a combanation of the original health bar and the regenerated shield health. What if it was made for a bit of realistic military style. (in our moderate days but a bit latter on; since plasma shields are going to be used by the military) Ever play perfect dark zero for the 360? I've leaned from campaign that when you take so many attacks it's not so easy to regenerate. This way can be applied if the difficualty was on legendary or if such a skull with effect was on. have you played wresteling games either? i though of the body blueprint in which when you get hit somewhere it changes the print from the color to red. I'd suggest green for the color frame and a % for each part like shoulder guard, helemt, and other all pieces of armor. When your shield depletes; you have the armor to protect you. When armor of such get's damaged; it will show real damage features. When it get low and at 0% it could take effect on you dependingly, especialy the back where the shield generator could be at cand be disabled if it reaches 0% on it. To help with the idea of the helmet damage you would need a character who's face would be featured in the beginning of the game before they suit up; so when you have the helmet at 0% you will get the point. If your armor is damaged severly and worth 0% defense than you have 2 options. 1: haul that scrap medal on you or 2: take it off! when for a great example: your helmet reaches to low levels or 0% for people who want it easy; you can wear a helet that has a shattered visor and your tec in it such as your hud for would be ruined and you can wear it or take it off. Your person will be wearing his under suit but you can if nessesary have a change in your first person view. Without parts of your armors you still don't have to worry because you will have a physical change in body performance in the loss of your armor. you will more flexible mores and if so; give you a possibility to mover trwords guerilla tactics. The health would be in 3 levels as well in a way. 1st: shield generator, 2nd armor, and 3rd would be you physical health. On your 3rd health bar you will lose health accordingly where you are attacked and so. If you lose your helmets defense you are avalible to shots to the face like any character would be. and all of this would variate in balance accordingly to parts of exposed body parts as to the settings. You don't have to worry because down the line; just like Halo1; you would find stuff to repleish you but there can be a mix involved. Since there will be multiple spartans if so in the game you have fellow spartans die or lay around dead than you can scavage thier armor pieces just to last. A campaign skull would make this tough like famine would. This is a realy good idea and it would take time to make it into a balance.

We fight till the end.

Okay I'm going to say something i would like to see and i think we should be allowed to have those. remember in Halo 2 the first mission the portable machine gun that the private deploys in front of the Bulk Heads i think they should be added cant be used unless deployed but it would be a great game play change i know i would be running around with one if you ask me makes a good way to hold off a fire fight and ambush.


I keep seeing all thees people saying the want to see a new melee system i don't want to see a new one but u would like to see one weapon in specific have and animation change. When you melee with a needler you should hit with the spiked side ejecting the needle's in the body or at least a few. now i know the chances of seeing this are really low considering it would be over powered and probably unbalance the game.

How about a Anti Armor Bolt Action Rifle: 3 round clip max 6 rounds. ammunition rare 10 times scope. able to fire every 2.5 seconds makes a very large muzzle flash that it would be an instant position giver. it would not have good accuracy for its range due to the large caliber something around a 30mm round would be nice. not like a spartan could not use it reason for it being no longer available in the halo series simple two costly to maintain and manufacture.
kind of like this if you want to an ideal of what i meanhttp://e621.net/data/sample/sample_7e22a9dc4a69879c3e7c9c59f7 ad8eb5.jpg ignore the anthropic character best form of the gun i could find.
