Which weapons do you guys want to keep for Reach? Of course weapons can be improved and changed a bit, but overall it won't be completely different.

I realize I left out some important ones like Rockets for example, but I'm sure Bungie will keep those in.

I voted for the Laser namely,but I'd also like the Energy Sword, AR, Halo 1 Magnum, and Plasma Rifle in.

ODST Silenced Magnum- it was perfectly balanced, and I would hate to see the Halo CE one come back- it was horrendously overpowered and barely even fun to use because you know you are completely ruining somebody elses fun.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

the elite rifles are blue not purple . . .
unless your talking about the carbine (actually carbines are pinkish purpleish but more pink)

Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphors have two parts : form and interpretation; of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom being the briocoleus, the mason.

I want the MA5B or at least an earlier version of it. That thing, compared to the MA5C was amazing, it was a beast gun.

Continue the fight

OH yeah it was. stupid UNSC for replacing it....

Why is the Halo 1 pistol in the same option as the ODST pistol? The ODST pistol is the same $h!tty Halo 2 pistol only with a scope. It's only good for headshots (as is every pistol in every halo game, so what makes it special?). It does no real damage. The halo 3 magnum is better than it.

The Halo 1 pistol was way too overpowered and threw all the balance away, it's not coming back

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

The Halo 3: ODST Pistol isn't really anything like the Halo 1 Pistol. It's more like a re-skinned post-patch (the weak 13SK) Halo 2 Pistol with a scope on it.

I would like to keep all the Halo 3 weapons except the Battle Rifle, and maybe the Carbine, and add in Energy staves, EMP grenades, energy garrotes, and better Plasma weapons.

Were it so easy.

Yeah I know, just didn't have room for it and I Knew people thought the ODST pistol was the same as Halo 1 pistol so I just added it in.

Wherever you roam
so far from home
you'll be safe from peril
life threatening and terrible
if you avoid David Powel
and keep track of your towel.

Uh, all of them.

Except the pistol of course. I have no real opinion on which pistol they use but if it's got a scope that means no dual wielding and I like dual wielding. M6G or M6C is fine, M6D if they disable the scope and balance it better. I would also like if they balanced the BR and Carbine more, just less useful in close quarters really.

By the way, the M6D is not magnum like the C and G models. It uses standard size High Explosive rounds instead, and was probably limited issue because it's ammo is much more expensive.

EDIT: I doubt Sentinel Beams would have any place in Halo Reach's story but there's no reason that they can't be in the game (non-campaign of course). They could also put the Flood in Firefight even though they probably won't have a place in the story.

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.”

ODST Silenced Magnum- it was perfectly balanced
perfect for headshots, terrible for downing shields.
