I totally agree with the variations of bullets and some of the weapon variations.

Battle rifle change - iffy

Assault rifle changes- good because AR is the most customizable weapon but they could be over powered.

SMG with armor piercing rounds- no

Tactical sniper rifle- no

EMP bomb - no

Covenant changes - no, there is no cannon for them. except the Needle launcher which you should check out this thread for it. this but only look at my posts for what I think it should be or Coffee's because ours make the most sense.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

All I got from that was "Make the BR better, make Covenant stuff worse."

Which IMO is a horrible idea.

Weapons are balanced enough. Anyways, customizing Covenant Weapons is illegal and considered heresy (Meaning that you would be branded with the Mark of Shame, and executed by being hung by your own entrails).

On a side note I was unable to put vehicles in the original post so here we go.

UNSC Vehicles

Mongoose

2 passenger ATV.

Warthog

3 passenger vehicle with mounted heavy machine gun in back.

Gauss Warthog

3 passenger vehicle with Gauss Cannon mounted in back.

Rocket Warthog

3 passenger vehicle with 3 barreled rocket launcher mounted in back.

Hawk

1 person gunship. Main machinegun similar to Hornet's machinegun. Two small gauss cannons, one under each wing. Gauss cannons combine to do as much damage as a Gauss Warthog. More maneuverable then a hornet, and faster as well.

Ghost

1 person light scout vehicle.

Same here, the BR sounds even more powerful in this (:O -blam!- NO!)

No, these are terrible ideas.

Who's to say that the Covenant don't have different versions of the weapons already. A whole bunch of Prophets just sit around and make these weapons. What is stopping them from making different versions?

Huragok and Sangheili Weapon Masters make them actually.

Wrong again there, it's really the Engineers that do that. Even then, it is of little allowancy.

Actually I mad Covenant weapons stronger then they are in Halo 3. The BR was split into 2 different guns. One is good at range but hard to use, and the other is good at closer range and easier to use.

Were it so easy.

More like worst ideas ever.

Yea. I couldn't find its name. I want it in Halo Reach. I know it exist. I just want it in the game.

The Hornet is very -blam!-. The Hawk is a lot cooler and would act more like a mix between the Banshee and the Hornet. Give it a machinegun just like the Hornet's machinegun. Make it more maneuverable but not a ton. Make it a little bit faster too. Hornet is too vulnerable to rockets and heavy machinegun fire because it is unwieldy and slow. Instead of slow rockets give it would have those cannons we see but they would fire very slow and do similar damage as the Hornets rockets.

I turned the Hawk into a slightly better and cooler looking Hornet. That is exactly what is needed. Hornet sucks.

Oh well. The Covenant don't advance very fast so they are bound to have multiple different versions of a gun. Plus, if you have a ton of Human weapons and just the same old Covenant weapons then people would not be happy with the game. I tried to keep a balance between the weapons.

I basicaly split the BR into two guns. One with range but hard to use, and one that is easy to use with no range.

There are a lot of different versions of the Assualt rifle in the books, and I wanted to get some of those with my own twist into the next game.

SMG with armor piercing rounds is bairly better then regular SMG and not as good as AR or BR. I made it because the 2 SMGs compliment eachother. Dual wield one of each and you have an AR. That was the idea.

The tactical sniper rifle was ment to be a sniper rifle that let people with sniping skills have a chance at being stealthy snipers. Same thing with the plasma accelerator rifle.

EMP bomb is just a power drain that is combined with a radar jammer and put on a remot triger. It might be over powered but it is still cool. Lol.

I don't think that cannon would be broken if the Covenant weapons had different versions. Why cant there be different versions of Covenant weapons? All that must be said is Bungie was unable to have them in the games and official cannon before now. It would be just like adding the Brutes in Halo 2. The weapons have allways been there, we just never got to see or use them.

BR is overpowered.

Semi-automatic? Hell no. That's like using a Gauss-Automag. Unthinkable.

That is why it has a bad recoil. Every time you shoot it throws you off your target. Plus it still only kills with 4 headshots just like the BR in Halo 3. I actualy made it harder to use and not more powerful. Did you even read my desciptions?

Yes, I did. What about players using high sensitivity? They will recover from recoil unbelievably fast.

That is a legit question. Ok, I would cap the fireing rate at the same rate as the BR from Halo 3. I never ment for the gun to be crazy. It is not a fires as fast as you can pull the triger gun. That would be way too powerful.

I will add that to the thread now.

I really don't car who makes the weapons. I just know that even the Covenant are smart enough to have a large variation of weapons available to their soldiers. My guns don't have to be called variations, just give them names and they can be new guns we have just never seen before that are similar to ones we already use. It fits with cannon and we get new guns. Everyone wins. What is the big deal?
