I was thinking that in Reach you could maybe unlock your weapons by being ranked up and once unlocked you could use it as your starting weapon, customize it(custom paint job,etc.), and add attachments(scilencer,scope,extended mag,armour piercing rounds,etc). This would be similiar to the Call of Duty games, but could be improved. It would be another way(besides just armour) to customize your character. To do this, the game would have special playlists of free for all or small team based games. These would be the only places that these weapons could be used(Besides custom games). These game types would also only allow you to have one weapon at a time. This would eliminated n00b combos(shotty/sniper, BR/shotty, etc.) Would this be a good idea, and should it be in Reach? Let me know your ideas on how to make this better, and if you like it.

I am flatterd that you botherd to look at my signature.

what I like about halo is no one has a better BR than the other person..it is how you use it..

Yes, but I am getting tired of n00b combos.

what if someone wanted to spawn with a shotgun?...well hell im not running into him on snowbound..

It might work, but it would be going into Call of Duty territory, Halo would lose it's what makes it different.
With some more work it might be a nice addition, but as you put it...

whell there are special game types like swat and team snipers..where the only weapon you get is the one you spawn with..

there can always be game types where only certant weapons are allowed.. makeing noob combos impossible.

I think customizeable weapons should stay out of halo..it might be fine for cod but halo is better of with out it..(in my opinion of course..how ever it is not based on any facts that cant be proved or disproved at this moment. it is simply what I prefer so my opinion is no better than anyone elses)

Well there also could be a special multiplayer playlist to put these weapons to use on. I was thinking either a free for all or a small squad based game type, that way you could coordinate for squad members weapons and play tactically.(Just a few thoughts)

  • 10.07.2009 11:56 AM PDT

be very careful cuz i would start with a br and armor piercing sniper rounds, kind of unfair for some

yeah that would be cool..that way players could choose to have custom or not...

Yes, and you wouldn't have to play in these matches if you didn't want to. They would be for more advanced players.( Becuase better weapons would be used by higher level players)

  • 10.07.2009 12:02 PM PDT

It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

A special gametype would be the only place this would work. If it were in regular team slayer, then the game would be dominated by BR/Shotty starts, or BR/Sniper and such like that. That would be no fun for anyone. The only place I see this being practical is in Custom games and Campaign.

Does anyone have ideas how to improve this idea? It could change Halo and add some great freedom to the game. (Although I am aware that it could destroy uniqueness that Halo has.)

go play team spelling

maybe, but thats not the reason i say no, as in halo3 you have to work to get good guns, but if this goes through everyone would use shotty sniper. but, if you still had to pick up the guns, but when you picked them up they got to your custom loadout, that would be better.

Love play halo3 and Halo: Reach

Love making map for halo: Reach

Love play Xbox360

What if in these special playlists, you could only have one gun at a time? That would eliminate n00b combos.

  • 10.07.2009 12:23 PM PDT

I'm the cult of personality,
I call it like i see it, if i feel the need to be blunt and to the point, then i will, if i feel the need to be very detailed, i will, im here to stay and im here to do things my way, if you respect that or not is your choice, not mine,
and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

This would ruin the game keep it like it is now

i agree and the custom weapons thing should be a option i still want to use the other weapons instead of having to customize a weapon in order to play

I would love to be able to pimp out my guns.

That would be the whole point of this, and to give you more freedom.

Please read the above posts first. This would be a seprate playlist. It would be optional to play, just like any other mtchmaking game.
