its a 17+ game. on the back of the game box it says "game experience may change online" and at the age of 12 i know most boys are NOT going to say "eww, cooties" at pics on some fileshares.

But the piont of a real LMG is about being able to handle it from first person and being able to reload it.



Yes but with the rip of turret it works better from third person, and do you really want to spend 5 seconds *I know it doesn't sound like much but believe me it is* reloading in the middle of a fight?

isn't the rippable turret a LMG equivalent?



No. A LMG shouldn't slow someone down that much. Its more like a HMG.

I would love one! But balance wise, in Halo, it wouldn't work. The primary purpose of a LMG is suppressive fire, and in a gun and run game like Halo, suppressive fire is pretty useless. People would almost ignore it. If you keep the damage up, it would basically would be an AR with more ammo.

Honestly? Picture this, you using a light machine gun against a group of enemies in Halo, you empty your ammo box,and begin to reload, this means that all of the enemies you didn't kill with your first magazine have plenty of time to AR you while you spend ages reloading

then you switch weapon!

But thats my point, with the halo 3 Rip off turret you don't need to switch as it carries plenty of ammunition. Also if the LMG wasa carriable weapon it would take up one of the two valuable weapon slots which you might need for carrying say a sniper rifle or a battle rifle

  • 08.28.2009 1:26 PM PDT

Ok if you wanna get a sniper you can just skip the LMG i mean you dont have to pick it up.

  • 08.28.2009 1:29 PM PDT

look at the guy on the far left of the picture? he's holding a gun obviously belt fed, LMG!!

If you compare the shape to the rip off turret they are very similar, it only looks small in perspective compared to the spartan holding it. Sorry to crush your theory

  • 08.28.2009 1:44 PM PDT

what about marines? they cant handle a ripped turret but they would be able to handle a LMG!

  • 08.28.2009 11:47 PM PDT

Did you get the idea from my thread?

But either way, I kind of agree, but only if it similar to the ones mentioned in the thread. We need something to fill the gap between a light assault rifle and a heavy turret.

  • 08.29.2009 12:00 AM PDT

Im srry dude i didnt see you thread and i didnt steal the idea i came up with it myself realy.

The large gun in the banner looks nothing like the turrets.

  • 08.29.2009 10:42 AM PDT

You just got Shakespeared!

Posted by: Spelbreker NL

that dosnt happen to anyone but you witch means you are bad at halo.

  • 08.29.2009 10:55 AM PDT

I wasn't accusing you, I was just wondering.

Big Team Battle Multiflag/Slayer on Standoff/Valhalla/Sandtrap/Avalanche = Win

The AR, SMG, and BR are already fighting it out, throwing in a LMG would just make the balance worse.

they serve the same role though. and not having to reload is a good thing, you have way more than enough ammo to kill plenty of people and don't loose 5 seconds reloading like in CoD.

I wish you could use it in first person though.


true BUT u can always pick up more ammo for the LMG so it is actually better than the rippable turret at this point.

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.”

Yes. Make it covenant to give them more weapon variety.

A portable Specter cannon would be ideal.
