i've had noobs shoot me with the needler. getting killed by it is bad enough, i don't think i'd want to have someone walking around(if you can take it off it's stand) with a giant needler, that probably has more ammo and lasts longer... that'd be terrible to have in gameplay.

the idea, however, of having a new weapon(like the plasma turret) would be awsome.

First off, if you have read the comments, this new weapon wouldn't be like a needler. We all agree on 3-6 shots per reload, and no homing on people, maybe on vehicles.

Also it was never designed to be on a stand, either shoulder-fired or (my favorite) an arm-cannon.

The Electro-Grenade Launcer would be cool to have, but I don't think I'd use the MegaNeedler thing. I'm too selfish to try to help my team with a teamwork type weapon.

Reachhhhhhhh

I would love for everyone that has an idea for a weapon to post the properties and the concept art because it is very interesting. I for one would just like a more powerful and longer ranged version of the SMG,which is an amazing weapon feel wise, not exactly power wise. I would just love it if there was strategy in deciding who has what weapon at any time according to each ones distinct pros and cons instead of everyone just wanting a BR.

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

Completely justifiable. Sounds like a fun weapon.
I hope it gets in.

Needler one sounds good, don't like idea of mist enhancing other weapons(nobody would want to make a single weapon that complex) It would be cool however to have a different style covenant heavy weapon. I don't really like the idea of the electrified grenade launcher though, I'd like a UNSC weapon to replace BR maybe even just change it to semi auto, or an entirely new semi-automatic style rifle, possibly amour piercing and anti vehicle so it can still do high damage to vehicles.

I'm not following you. Are you trying to be sarcastic or serious?

The concept art looks really cool. And the overall idea of the weapon is great.

i think a cool weapon for halo would be a gernade launcher with interchangeable gernades so what ever gernade you pick up it fires

I don't like the mortar idea, I think it would be nicer more like a cannon or turret and put it on a vehicle like the spectre from H2.

Cool concepts, but don't we already have the Halo 1 Fuel Rod as mortar?


Um.......no? How is the fuel rod like a mortar? At all?

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 to both.

I thought the Mauler was the grenade launcher before Halo 3 came out.

Sharks with friggen lasers!

Wow these are awesome! Really hope Bungie takes these into consideration.

What about Cyro Grenades, that will be awesome, easy kills against sentinals, drones, banshees and hornets. Throws Grenade into mid air and launches it off in mid air, ice explodes and freezes all flying objects, after 3 secs they collapses.

I wish I was still legendary.

I'm revising my needler, heavy concept:

Essentially it would have 6 large shards that could be shot. Upon hitting an object, these shards would cook for 3 seconds then explode into smaller ones (needler bullets, probably around 12 of them) which would automatically track anyone within a certain radius (not too large, maybe a circle with a diameter of about 21 feet). Instead of the usual 8 to explode, it would take only four - however, they would have greatly reduced range and not track very well. Good for clearing enemy camping spots, fortifications, and bases, not so much for open battles. It would appear on smaller maps.

This weapon would make no distinction between friend or foe, and anyone killed by it will count as a kill to the opposite team. I.e. don't fire it into a camping spot then have your team charge in, because the enemy will get 10 kills or whatever.

I love the idea of an M32 like grenade launcher.
