bungie needs to rework the weapons in halo: reach like this

sniper rifle is a long range power weapon that is slow to fire and has limited ammo

battle rifle is a mid range weapon that is used the take out snipers

assualt rifle needs to be a inbetween short and mid range weapon useful in any situation but not the best for specific situations

shot gun should have have the half the range of the ar for the one hit kill

smg should should be 1/4 less powerfull then assault rifle but have more ammo and become 1/4 more powerful then assault rifle when dual wielded

pistol would not replace the br but be capable of challenging it

missile launcher should have lock on so it can be the anti vehicle weapon it was meant to be. get rid of its ability to be used against infantry to avoid the thought of killing spree when you see the missile launcher

plasma rifles should be effective at taking down shields but not so much dealing damage and dual wielding them makes them more effective at dealing damage

get rid of maulers they have no decent use

keep spikers the same. they are effective for the one shot/melee combo. dual wielding them makes them usefull against shotguns and swords

i dont know exactly how i would want the swords to be changed

ill post more later

I'd like to be half-man half-tree in an octopus' garden in the shade.

Sounds like a lot of generally positive changes. For the most part, I like it.

thanks. i also need to mention that ive seen alot of hate going around for the br. the br should still be in the game. it just need to stay in the role of mid range/somewhat longer range anti sniper rifle weapon. if it wasnt for a weapon like the br then a sniper could dominate on a map such vahalla. the only way to take out the sniper if the br was removed would be to either attack the sniper en masse or warthog the sniper

What a dumb comment, are you saying if i try and snipe you from one side of valhalla, you'll BR me? Something tells me it wont reach mate, BR isnt ANTI sniper.


AND...

BR Shouldnt be ANTI sniper, sniper is long range, theres a reason snipers are what they are, there is no COUNTER for them.

Spikers are not good for one shot and melee, I dont know where you pulled they from

Its called a ROCKET LAUNCHER, and a MISSLE POD, dont mix them together.

And majority of the stuff here IS already what you said. except maulers, you said there useless, try one shot melee.

Maulers are awesome, that is all.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

i think you have maulers and spikers mixed around. maulers kill with one shot/melee, while spikers are pretty much useless

  • 08.11.2009 1:09 AM PDT

i was correct in naming. spikers are those brute weapons that are sort of like smg's but different. maulers look kinda like revolvers. at close ranges with a mauler, one shot followed by a melee gets a kill

missiles and rockets are the same thing

ive killed plenty of snipers with the br. its range is longer then then having red crosshairs would suggest

the br needs to fill the role of anti sniper weapon. what else would you use if there wasnt a br? an assault rifle? shotgun? if you where on a map like vahalla or coagulation any decent sniper could kill you before you got close enough to shoot

The assault rifle is waaaaaaaaay too powerful, they should either lower the damage or get rid of it, which in both cases they wont do.

Grenades should be a privilege to have, not a horrible sin a pawn us all.

ye but the assault rifle is only to powerful if you are like 20 feet from someone. any further away than that and you might as well not even try to take down someone with a br. i personally think an assault rifle with an affective range of 20-40 feet is just plain dumb. the assault rifle needs more range and a good bit more accuracy. its to much like the smg

Voilà!In view,a humble vaudevillian veteran,cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate.This visage, no mere veneer of vanity,is a vestige of the vox populi,now vacant, vanished.However,this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation,stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

The AR is underpowered outside of like 10m and inside of 10m everyone meelees each other to death the only way the AR kills someone, without wasting most of the clip, is the overpowered meelee. If we had the Halo CE meelee with a slight lunge of .5m-1m then the AR could afford to be more accurate and keep its damage the same
