The idea below is specifically for custom games, not matchmaking.

I loved the idea, in Halo 3, to allow an extreme amount of customization to the multiplayer experience. One example was the possibility to create your own powerups to enhance gameplay in custom games. This, I must say, was a pretty neato idea.

Now, why not take it up a notch and create custom weapons? For forge, or whatever it will be named in Reach, it would be cool to have a blank weapon with alternate structures and textures that could be selected by the player. Using options in the map editor, you'd have options to alter fire-rate, ammo, and even projectiles. There could be endless possibilities to custom games.

( I did not mean for this to be a custom class/COD styled weapon setup. Think of custom powerup options on Halo 3, but instead with weaponry.)




Any thoughts?

Your in Bad Company.

Its cool, but thats more suited for games like COD, not Halo, which is about jumping into a squad of enemies or capping a headshot from across the map.

And it could unbalance the game to if it were anything other then weapon appearance.

Plasmalab, a great map for Neutral CTF or Slayer. Download it and have fun. Version 1.1 now available.

Creating new weapons would completely kill the feel of Halo, the games is focused about how you play out a game with the set of weapons you are given when the game comes out, not ones custom made.

If you want to create custom weapons in Halo, play Halo Custom Edition for the PC.

Cool Idea!

It would be cool if they had Weapon DLC so you could buy different projectiles like cows or chickens or sumtin...

I'm not saying customization as a COD style weapon selection. I'm saying customized weapons on your maps for custom games. For example, a Scarab Gun.

I meant for this idea to be an add on to Halo's already spectacular customization abilities. So what if it can make a custom game unbalanced? This feature would be in the hands of the creator of the map/gametype. You can already design unfair gametypes on Halo 3, you should have the option to set weaponry to extreme measure. It's all in the fun of the game.

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

For custom games I support, state that in your first post that its for custom games only.
