add a horn that says "!%*@ BILL O' REILLY" in Austin Powers' voice, and
I like how if anyone ever says a nice thing about Bungie people think all they want is Recon, and if someone says something bad about Bungie people join with them. And then after they get done bagging on Bungie, they go play the game that Bungie made

No, that is complicated and nearly pointless. Why would you want a gun that is only useful in conjunction with another gun? Especially when all it does is save ammo.

He who runs, dies last. I suggest you run.

The shard launcher looks cool. I could see the arm mounted one being used as a hunter weapon. as for the precedent you metioned about First Strike, I had always assumed that was the heavy needler, later featured in halo wars.

to OP, i have a great weapon. It is called the MA5B. It has a sixty round clip, is bullpup, has an electronic ammo counter, is silver, and is very inaccurate. Heres a linck to a pic of it.


Hahah... noob. Short controlled bursts use the AR like that and you will be a GOD. But still I laughed my Alfa Sierra Sierra off.

I forgot to add that firing fully auto turns the rifle into a shotgun, a well....

I would say that a mist grenade that stops passage through an area would be nice.

Life is contradictory and ambiguous but it also isn't.

Bit too complex, the concept of these weapons should be easily understandable.

My Take:

The mist from the needle cannon is poisonous, and does damage to anyone passing through, and for a few seconds after leaving (though this makes it a bit too similar to the flamethrower.)

The grenade launcher should have some arc, and not do any health damage. It should only affect shields and disable vehicles. It should also have a slow draw time to discourage noob combos. It should also need to directly hit instead of having a field of effect.

Really? Try to be constuctive and not give half-baked jokes. It's really pathetic.

Iv'e been offline for a few days, so i'm gonna respond to all the excellent ideas that the community has posted in my absence, starting with the one above.

Your take on the needler is a pretty cool alternate idea. It's simple, effective for being used as a team weapon, and not quite as contextual as the original shard launcher. In all honesty, I could see this version being added to the Haloverse, although you are correct about it being too much like the flamethrower :P About the grenade launcher, I completely agree with you that the it should launch grenades in a heavy arc, and making the draw and reload times lengthily to balance it out is very well thought out, and part of the original idea. The concept of making it affect vehicles and shields only would surely simplify it, but the concept was based on the fact that it could take down equipment as well. So how about a compromise? The shock would still be area-of-effect, but only electrocuting the floor, so jumping players would be safe, as well as airborne vehicles. Adding a one or two second delay to the emp burst would also give players time to get out of the way, as the metallic *clinck* of the grenade hitting the floor would soon become iconic, and unmistakeable for anything else. So, what do you think of my revisions, based on your response?

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.


That is a very good idea, as it eliminates it's uselessness if there is no needler around, but still balances it. This would be in addition to the effects mentioned in the beginning.

That would be pretty cool, but mist doesn't seem likely to stop people in their tracks. How about a foam grenade? I can just imagine the greifing *shudders* Let's hope, for sanity's sake, that it never happens. Other than that, it's an excellent idea.

My two cents, (sorry if this has been suggested before, it's 4:28am where I am at the moment, and my attention span is too short to read through many a post) this weapon, as you stated, fires out a large, needle-like projectile, but maybe it could stick into a surface, and after a moment or two it could explode into a large, destructive field of Needler-like crystals, but with a bit more power.

It won't have to necessarily explode the target(s), but do enough damage to kill them regardless. Think of the effect as a spike grenade, but on a larger scale.

My two cents. :p This concept is interesting.

awesome i can imagine running around with that going bredddddddddddddd....boooom!!!!!!!!!!!!

so in your eyes it would be SUPER NEEDLER, eh? That's not a bad idea, it isn't really the direction I wanted to go with the weapon, but if Bungie put the weapon in reach, and made according to your two cents, i'd be satisfied.

Bungie sees ALLLLLLL O_O, or do they? They'd be stupid not to, and from what I know, Bungie isn't stupid. (someone please correct me if i'm wrong :P)

All's fair in love and war.
except for camping.

I believe halo desperately needs a infantry weapon that shoots in an arc, but i dont think a needler type weapon should be a mortar, it doesnt make sense to me (imo, im not sayin it's impossible). However, i really think a grenade launcher would work. However, i'm not enthusiastic anbout a electric or power draining one. i think is should be a simple grenade launcher, nothing fancy. just some good grenades of exploding death arcing through the sky.......

However, if there was a grenade launcher that fired firebomb grenades i would be VERY happy.........

A plasma mortar akin to the wraitn would be a good idea as well, however.
