You Gotta Risk It, To Get The Biscuit

What if you could activate like a secondary switch on the weapon

e.g. so when using the fuel rod gun, you can switch it to a continuos stream like the hunters

or while your using the plasma rifle, you can switch it to overdrive, and it gets really powerful but overheats faster.

any ideas on this?

Sounds cool. But I'm not quite sure about it. It's just not Halo. It's not in any of the games or books so Idk

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.

-Thanks to Rocket Turtle for pointing out my typing follies.

my only problem with this is that if every weapon had this, it would make it very easy to get one or two kills by making your AR have double range, or having your splaser shoot a continuous stream; the latter would completely destroy vehicle combat.
the upshot is, that having every weapon have an attachment, in effect doubles the amount of weapons on a map, meaning that the multiplayer would be way harder to balance.
best just to keep it simple so the multiplayer is balanced and functional.

the mp is too balanced right now... each weapon is useful in ONE situation ONLY.
take the plasma rifle/plasma pistol/smg/magnum/spiker. nobody use them unless they have a really good reason to.

Just enjoy the damn game!
Who cares about BR vs AR

They should make SMG as a starting weapon again, and the option to pick up AR, so you can dual wield with your original weapon.
