Spartans are probably the UNSC's greatest creation. Billions of dollars have been spent studying, training and producing them, not to mention the amazing amount of green it would take to but your own suit of MJOLNIR Armour, anyway the fact is is that even though they cost ridiculous amounts of money, they make up for it 1000%. So why not create technology that a Spartan can use? even in Contact Harvest Sgt. Johnson uses one, even though he was using ODST armour it still proves that a normal human can operate something that is so grossly overpowered. A Stanchion or even something similar like a railgun would be perfect, you would be able to hold your ground against anything at all, Armour - clad, indestructible Spartans, looming 8 - foot tall Brutesand and all medium and light vehicles. Ofcourse if Bungie did decide to think about something like that they would pull it off beautifully and it would be an extremely powerful yet balanced weapon. Like hardly any ammunition or some other reasonable catch. Also it could be fixed with a highly tactical scope that had its own VISR mode and you would be able to shoot enemies through walls and wound tanks by ripping through their multiple layers of armour. I think that a Stanchion would fit in perfectly and would make an excellent addition to the Halo universe. What do you think?

I wish I was still legendary.

So basically, you want a freaking MASSIVE sniper?

doubt it'd get implemented, for multiple reasons -gameplay wise and canonical.

Fact 2: European guys are hotter

I guess I can understand if you don't want to make out with guys in the US if they're so ugly, you should just say so though.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

I meant the fact that a gun that big would have enough recoil to break a normal man's shoulder, cost far too much to produce (probably the same cost as a spartan laser, or near it), and would be more likely to be available to assassination missions/covert ops then people defending a planet against aliens. It'd be an awesome weapon to have - I think some H1 custom maps might have a version (apocolypse hugeass might), but boring to be that strong.

well it would work like a rail gun in other games, you can shoot through walls in scope but almost impossible to shoot from the hip and has a slow reload
