*sigh*

Bungie completely changes every weapon? No BR55s, no MA5Cs/MA5Bs, no M6Gs/M6Cs/M6Ds; instead, things mentioned in the books, or completely new weapons.

Stuff like MA5Ks, Hard Sound Rifles, M6J Carbines, etc.

I would love this. It would keep the basic function of many niche weapons, but with none of the old "been there, done that" feel.

Opinions?

Your opinion on me is about as useful as Anne Frank's drumset.

i agree, i mean, there used for hunting for cryin out loud, you should have atleast 30 meter range (one hit kills only at 10- meters)

I'm xAssault12x, and I love the Halo Universe. Discussion please!

I think it would be cooler if we kept the good weapons and they gave us weapons from the books and new Covenant weapons since there aren't any weapons in the books that aren't in the game.

I have a thread about this. Check it out.

I say bring back the CE shotgun, except make the ammo count and clip size smaller and make the spread a bit more, spread-ier.

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.”

I prefer the core weapon set from the games.

The weapons in the books felt like gimmicks to me.

Especially a "hard sound" rifle. The implications for such a weapon are far reaching and complicated.

Great minds discuss ideas

Average minds discuss events

Small minds discuss people

I think your idea would be cool, but not practical for Bungie at all.

Since Reach is a military sronghold/research center, you could have modified weapons, experimental weapons, and your plain-old weapons. This way, it would give us new weapons, but still fit in with the cannon and storyline since Reach is destroyed and the weapons too.

This allows us to keep a familiar MM experience while diversifying the weapons in Campain.
