I was thinking of some unlockables for Halo:Reach and I was thinking something like weapon designs, some design etched on to your weapon. Has anyone ever played Fable 2 and got the Assault Rifle on it? Did anyone else think that it had a pretty awesome design on it? Also,we should be able to draw our own emblem ( People would be able to report your emblem if it is inappropriate ) It would replace the Service tag on matchmaking and instead of an arrow you would see a picture if you cannot directly see the person.

bad idea in my opinion

nobody asked you..

wep skins only work for games where you choose your guns at the start and no guns spawn on the map, unlike halo's classic game style where you have to find the weapons. emblem thingy would be too confusing.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME GROUP INVITATIONS

The Halo REACH Script (post thoughts in thread)

Writing Lead of Whisper Studios. Check out Heron!

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I wouldn't mind unlockable weapon skins similar to the Golden Lancer in GOW2. Let's say REACH will have all its weapons by default, but you could unlock new skins (i.e. M6C --> M6C/SOCOM ---> M6D) that would change the appearance of the original weapon when you pick it up. It would have no effect on the weapon's operation, it would just make it look different.

Pistols (M6C, M6C/SOCOM, M6D)
Assault Rifles (MA5B, MA5C, MA5K)
Battle Rifles (BR55, BR55 HB SR)
Sniper Rifles (...)
Rocket Launchers (,,,)
etc.

Every weapon should have at least 3 skins. If it doesn't have enough as seen from a previous game, Bungie could invent a new weapon varient.

So like a copy of CoD?

If somebody's opinion is being smashed and nobody's helping, I try and help. I use logic and extensive vocabulary (and sometimes self-destructive circular reasoning) to confuse my enemies into submission. Fear me, trolling, fapping creatures of the night. For I. Am your worst nightmare.

No I dont think it would be a copy of CoD. I dont know why people keep saying that. So just because the OP wants different skins for his weps. I think this is a great idea and I think MLG has a great point. Hell CoD WaW and Gears of War 2 copied of of the survival mode from Marathon. Not saying we havent copied off anything cause I mean it was a great idea. And no Firefight wasnt a copy off other survival type gamemodes(well Bungie sure made it sound that way) they were just re-vamping the Marathon's survival game mode.

CALL OF DUTY DIDN'T INVENT EVERYTHING. GO THE HELL AWAY.

Infact, call of duty is a generic patriotic American FPS. Thats not original at all.

Remember all that stuff that I once said about the YouTube things? Well, I could not get it off of the ground, so therefore, it was a load of -bull--blamming--blam!- so ya.

Bungie I CANT wait for Reach. Too bad that this is the last HALO to be made, but... I know your next games will be amazing!

Yeah, putting on the different skins for weapons would be... ...sick... But why would Bungie want to go through all that exta work for our own entertainment?? But still that would be friggen awsome.

All of the ideas that you came up with would be pretty sweet, but that "make your own emblem" thing would be EXTREEMLY hard for Bungie to get under control. And not to mention that it may not come out the way you wanted it to.

Halo =/= CoD 4

This could only work if it were different skins and not aesthetics.

Its a game, the whole thing is for our entertainment. THINK.

Yeah, that's what would be a problem. We all know if we had the chance to make a emblem what would first pop into our head.

Sounds cool, similar to camos such as COD or Golden guns (every game ever made).

Being able to change the look and design of the weapon would be cool, or perhaps having different variants. Such as a more compact shotgun with different iron sights, and a shorter barrel.

Just a pipe-dream, but cool none the less.

I was also thinking since Halo 3 had Recon that was only unlocked if you did something cool a while ago, would they make some type of special armor for reach?

Before they make more armor, I would like them to unhunch Elites, and make them sized down to a Spartan in MP.

Keep them big in Campaign and hopefully Firefight.

I always thought that was the bad part about elites in swat,they cant get headshotted from the back so they could just keep running till they get to a safe area. Also,It would be pretty cool if they had firefight on ALL the multiplayer maps something like Horde in GoW2 or just make some cool,specialized maps for the gametype. I really do hope they put elites in firefight and scarabs, just to put the odds in the CPU's favor I think that's what makes it fun.
