I think Halo Reach should have even bigger battles than CE (like two betrayals except with UNSC and Covenant and bigger). Smart marines like Halo CE's should be in Reach(the kind that can take a hit and drive). It should also have the other vehicles and weapons from Halo 2 and 3. The pistol should be between Halo CE's and Halo 3's. Assault Rifle should be Halo CE. The BR should be evenly matched w/ the Assault Rifle so it comes down to aiming ability. Lastly, plasma weps should slow you down. Frags and stickies should have a longer detenation time and there should be nightvison on the sniper and night multiplayer maps. Las but definetely not least, bring back the Halo CE health system or the one on ODST if it's good. Hundreds of people post this stuff repeatedly, but these are MY opinions and ideas. However, feel free to add your ideas to this post and it might be looked upon by the eyes of Bungie(or something).

The BR is too powerful. If you have an assault rifle in medium to med-short range vs. the BR, you lose. One frag and a 8 BR shots are all it take to kill 8 people standing together.

You seriously think the AR needs aiming ability?


Ok, then. the BR should have a match(the carbine isn't the match). There could be a semi automatic gun like stripped down assault rifle with the 2x zooming ability. Are ya happy now?

Yall need to play some CoD to see why.

I do. Quite a bit and Halo: Reach should definitely have little-to-no resemblance of a Call of Duty game.

No, i want Reach to be alot different than the previous Halo's or at least has it's own individual feel and flavour.

Simply put, it already does.

You are firing bullets in a cone. Bullets could land anywhere in that cone. Focusing that cone through aiming and burst firing so all the bullets land on your opponent is crucial to winning AR fights.

Thats right. You need to aim your AR.

If I'm aiming at your center of mass and properly burst firing so none of my bullets miss, while you are "spraying and praying" at my head and missing half your shots, I'm going to win that fight. It gets even harder when people straife, jump, just like in BR fights. The AR is really just a BR designed for close quarter combat when you come down to it, there is no difference in how you would try to poorly adapt a BR to close range and how you try to use the AR at close range.

Have you ever heard of a MD6?

Anyway, along with what the OP posted, make the BR stronger unscoped, however, when the BR is scoped, it turns into a weaker, single shot.

Not only would this add depth to the BR, but it could allow the MD6 to return as well.

The MD6 would be a medium in terms of power, compared to the BR, it is weaker than a BR's unscoped three shot, yet stronger than a BR's scoped one shot.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

I concur. Halo CE should be like Halo CE and Halo Reach should be like Halo Reach. Anything else would be a disappointment.

I liked the way Halo CE freaked me out when I only had one bar of health on Legendary mode, so I think this health tweak is okay.

CoD....eeeeeew. Halo is supposed to be a SCI-FI SPACE NAVY story, not something about bullet sponges in camis. If Halo had CoD mechanics, then it would fail to be Halo.

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.”

Keep dual wielding
Keep Jacking
Keep equipment
Keep theater
Keep forge
Keep Screenshots
Keep Matchmaking
Keep, and add more Custom Game options

Do you read? Do you play Halo? Find someone to play halo 3 with on Forge. Spawn only a BR and carbine. Shoot until someone dies. And the winner is... the BR?! How is this(sarcasm)?
