You Can Run, You can Hide, You Will Die...

I think we are in need of some new weapons. New weapons will change the feel of the game, as well as change tactics of game play in general. As much as I like the battle rifle, sniper, shotgun etc. They do get monotonous after a while, so I hope new weapons are in the works. Think of the possibilities. This is the future, and can be whatever the developers want it to be, they should have fun with it, in the end so will we. Its a win win situation.

rocket launcher
sniper rifle / beam rifle

Grenade launcher attachment for the battle rifle!!!

BOOM DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would like some HMGs that didn't put you in third person, but to balance things, still slowed you down.

I wish the flamethrower had a longer range. That thing is awsome but ALMOST entirely useless.

it already is usually because of the short range and fact it makes you slower

You will not see the BR, unless the prototype BR, and the carbine wasn't created until Halo 2.
Beam Rifle wasn't created until Halo 2
You are garunteed to see the AR, Rocket Launcher, Sniper Rifle, Need and Plasma P/R, Shotgun, and Energy sword.

i wouldn't mind seeing the reimplementation of the heat seeking rocket launcher for the campaign, i think would give a good feel

Maybe a MA5K? Some of the unseen variants of the AR? I hope we get the MA5B back, and the M6D. There were Battle Rifles at and before Reach, Johnson has one on Harvest, so we might see them. I'd also like to see more close-combat weapons used by random Grunts and Jackals. Energy Garrotes are mentioned in the books. That might be an idea.

That's not true either........ODST has weapons that weren't in Halo 2.......or in Halo 3, and they kept the new vehicles from Halo 3 in Halo Wars and ODST, so I don't think the weapons, so I don't think they really care too much. BUT... I do agree with that there will be no BR.

Iagree with REPP420, a few new weapons wouldn't be so bad. but the halo universe is prrety well established and bungie can't exactly re-invent it. Although, in the novels we here of UNSC manines and ODST's having accesse to a bigger vairety of weapons than the spartans do. spartans use manny calibers, attachements and varrious versions of snipers, AR's, and rocket launchers. this gives bungie many posibilities . I think they could even do something like COD 5 WAW where you get to pimp your weapons by unloking various upgrades, attachements and ammo types. they should also finnally include the human melee weapons . having 3 weapons would be nice two main that u can pick up n drop at will and a pistol or combat knife that you could hold on you all the time.

Dude I don't care and my grammer is perfect.I used "Big", as you recall it to mak is specific."to not do...",is incorrect beause "do" is present tense/perfect(or future) when it was a past tense.

I think it would be great to have customizable weapons like attachments. Scopes lasers grenade launchers weapon colors barrelsand things like that I think would make it ten times better alone.

Naw, that would ruin it cause COD already has that.... I can't picture it.

Forgot about the Fuel Rod, it's been in Halo CE-Halo 3.

That would kill custom games and Forge.

You have no proof for canon. Just because they weren't on Halo CE doesn't mean that they didn't exist.

Why would you need that if you already toss grenades?

  • 09.14.2009 6:45 PM PDT

plasma3150 the brutes have a grenade launcher but it would be good to have a human equivalent and they do more damage and i believe they have better spread and all the critics that say the br wont be in the final game just wait for the beta and see if it does or not. suggestions- halo ce pistol- upgraded ar because its not to good if you unless you know how to use it like me because i own with it besides that for forge they should make some gag weopons so you can get a good laugh at the game likje the guns that have the flag come out the end and just because chuck norris is awesome they should make his fists come out of the gun and have 1 hit kills on everyone.

Looking for objective opinions.

How about weapons that impair movement. For example, when the gun shoots the target it slow or decreases jump height down the target by 10% or some other percentage. How about a gun that shoots a blob of gue on the floor and anyone who walks on its movement speed and jump speed is impaired.

Second, idea. A gun that creates walls, you can hide behind it or reflect grenades off it. Much like the foam gun in Shadow Complex, XBLA.

Time for the peer reviews. Be objective and try to improve the idea, dont say it sucks. Explain.
