In memory of those fallen in the defense of Earth and her colonies.

sorry but i really don't like the idea, it seems useless to me, needlers can be quite useless already and are easuly dodged, so a no from me

Subject: New Weapon For Halo: Reach W/ Concept Art!

When I think of Mortar in Halo, I think of a Wraith. I think a smaller, portable, maybe even mounted version of the Wraiths cannon would work better for the first weapon, rather then some super needler.

You know how you have the warthog in 2 versions, the gauss en the LAAG? I was thinking you could do the same for the Covenant. Like a prowler ( or a complete new vehicle ) with a plasma turret and a version with a carbine turret or even the new needler mortar turret.

That would be interesting, it would add a reason to use prowlers at all ^_^

Horrible, just horrible. Concept art sucks, the purpose of this weapon at most, is simply retarded. if anything you need to focus on making a entirely new weapon instead of making it "Bigger" and "Badder". Why would Bungie make a weapons which purpose it to weaken an enemy so an ally can get the kill? I mean really, Im sure you enjoy getting your kill stolen but not me. Honestly this looks like you just through this together in order to get attention.

Wow. That is a very........ vehement response. You sound like I personally insulted you, lol. However, I am insulted that you would believe I made this thread to get attention. I respect another person's opinion and realize that not everyone may like the weapon, but please do not insult the effort that was put into the weapon. Doing so reflects your own close-mindedness and bigotry. I did notice that you did not mention the grenade launcher in your "response". Is it because you did not have anything bad to say about it, and thus could not mention it? Your response suggests that you did not read the article carefully, and merely skimmed it. Allow me to reiterate that I respect your opinions, but please express them in a more rational manner in the future. Thank you.

Sorry Zombie but I would have to agree on the anger. You haven't considered one thing Coffee or I have said. All you did was steal the precedent I found for this weapon. I find you to be incredibly confident that your idea is the one and only one. The grenade thing by the way is a highly underdeveloped thought that shouldn't have even been mentioned because it is only taking what a brute shot does and a energy drain and combining them thats not creativity thats grasping for ideas.

Woah, hold on! I was unaware that there was already an idea for this weapon on bungie.net, if I had, I certainly would not have posted my version. As for stealing the precedent, I most certainly did not! All the proper credit was given that you were the one that found it, and I added it to may article because it was relevant information that needed to be said. As for your discussion with Coffe, i'm afraid my time is actually very limited as of late, and I haven't been quite following it. I will read the full conversation and reconfigure the weapon appropriately soon (in the next 2 days, i'm afraid I will not be able to do it sooner) if you wish. In response to the comment about the grenade launcher, I honestly believe that the concept is a good one, and I am not snatching at straws whatsoever.

STOP USING BIG WORDS PLEASE THEY CONFUSE ME *End Sarcasam*

It's honestly not helpin the fact that the concepts are generic and have been disscused about before.

See, this is a great negative response, short and to the point! I was actually unaware that these ideas were discussed before, if you could send me a link to the other "electric grenade launcher and large needler that explodes and makes the small needler more effective post", that would be very helpful :P

Because flaming over the internet makes either of you tough, cool or more respected. You're making yourselves look like retarded pricks, seriously. Especially you Sgt. Crieghton, you're being overly rude and making yourself more likely to be disliked.

I have NEVER seen a post on this forum before this one involving weapons that enhance each other, and I've been here since the day the forum was opened. If your post on new weapons didn't get many replies, nobody cares. My post on improved enemies only got 77, and there's been heaps of identical posts since then fleshed out even less that got more replies. Do I care? NO.

The point of a concept is to get feedback on what's good and bad, what could be improved, and eventually end up with a much better final product. That's what this thread has been about, developing the ideas. It's not been about flaming before you arrived.

We have developed them from a simple weapon enhancing shot into at least 3 different ideas that could all be expanded on - the weapon enhancing mist, one with a built-in normal needler, achievements for using it well/medals, a version that embeds inself in an object (of any kind) before exploding into 12 tracking needler shots a few seconds later, a version that explodes on impact like a miniature wraith mortar...EVERYONE who has posted an idea in this thread has helped to flesh out the concepts and make them work.

He Started it (on a more serious note) All i stated in my orginal post was that throughout reading the replies to this thread more than 75%(Roughly). Have a general low depositon towards theses weapons. I was merely sharing my opinion with my fellow community members. And said weapons are not practical in the least.

Which is why community interaction should be encouraged so that we can all end up with a weapon everyone likes that would work for Halo. As it is now you are REALLY not helping to make it more practical, are you?

Anyway. It could act like this:

Fire shot
Shot sticks to wall.
shot explodes after 3 seconds in an exceptionally large neelder explosion. Anyone within 12 feet (just under two spartans) will immediately die with their own needler explosion. Anyone within 20 feet will lose all shields. Useful for clearing out camping spots, but gives long enough for player to run away. Not so useful in open areas.

If only the OP had such great insight on how his weapons should work.

I just wasted a few seconds of your life and you're never getting them back!

I think the main problem lies in the fact that the super-needler cannon (whatever) is too specialised. Because needlers aren't exactly very common, it feels very limited.

the last thing the UNSC needs is another anti-vehicle weapon. the needler mortar could be cool, but it needs to do more damage than you said because there would be very few needlers. its too contextual to be very useful

Lol. And to think, I never knew the UNSC used needlers....

The point of that statment is that the UNSC has at least three vechicle killers, while the Covenant's Fuel Rod cannon is the only Covie heavy weapon. I would love to see a new Covenant heavy weapon.

The one problem I see in this is that most of the heavy (anti-vehicle) weapons in the game are also extremly effective against infantry. That's the one major problem that I think Bungie could work on for this weapon
