Subject: Ima say 2 words. Grappling Hook.

I wish they would allow signatures at the end of someones post... Would be fun.

Yes. The gun that shoots the hook tied to string that is attached to said gun. But instead the hook would have spikes so it could be stuck to the ceiling or wall.

I just thought up of this when I was watching The Dark Knight. (Which is as sweet as Halloween candy.)

What if we had another piece of equipment, or gun in Reach. A grappling hook. It could get you out of being killed if you were the VIP, or if you had a flag, bomb, or any other special object. Though of course it would only be so long. To the extent that seems fair to everyone.
Now, it would still have its ups and downs.

Downsides -- You could not turn your camera angle when your hook is in use. Each player could only use the hook once each game. (There could be an option on how many uses people can have in the lobby). People can shoot the hook when it has been attached to a surface, making the user of said hook fall or not get out of harms way at all. When you land from using the hook you would have a 2-3 second pause.

Upsides -- YOU WOULD HAVE A GRAPPLING HOOK! And you could escape danger or something. It would also be good for machinima or zombies. And I am sure there would be skill maps for grappling hooks. It would bring some fun.

This is JUST an idea that I would like to share. Its not official, I am not a Bungie Employee just trying to be undercover and see how the community would react to the new piece of equipment, or gun. I am just discussing an idea. Which is one of the rights on the Halo: Reach forum.

Thoughts/ideas?

Um... I like Halo? I don't really know what to say. I'm a student at the moment, I hope to become a criminal profiler, and I enjoy pretty much everything as long as it's good.

When I read the title, the theme to the Dark Knight started playing in my head. I doubt a grappling hook could hold a SPARTAN and it might be a bit impractical. Perhaps in campaign in some manner but not in MP.

Easy press the quote button or if you want to type it then you have to put {quote} blah blah blah {/quote}

Note: Replace the { }'s for [ ]'s

I like it.. but youd have issues with getting out of maps.

  • 10.20.2009 3:06 PM PDT

My maps are better than yours.
Slopes: 2-6 person map. Well made. Awesome.
Gas Line: 2-6 players. Extremely well made, loved by many, many people. Equally awesome.

Download them. Now. Do it.

I'm more of a jetpack fan. Has anyone in here ever played Tribes? Wow, that game was fun. It's amazing how much skill that took too. The maps were huge and a lot of the weapons were time oriented, in that you had to lead the target. Imagine hitting a flying target from across Valhalla with a brute shot. That's what Tribes was like - amazing.

I am of an open mind and I am willing to hear criticism. Also: That's stupid and you're stupid.

"Hey, I'm really happy for you. I'll let you finish, but Lost Planet had one of the best uses for grappling hooks of all time!"

Maybe only in campaign.

erAsed is RIPPIN

Once you go Black you never go back!

The basic idea of a grappling hook is super cool. Being the VIP and using it to get out of trouble to help your team or generally just using it to get out of a bad situation sounds awesome.

However if it's going to be a piece of equipment it should be just that. No "using it once per game or setting how many times it can be used." That's retarded. Use it once than it blows up and you've gotta wait for it to respawn.

Imagine if you used it on a warthog gunner. Yanked him right off the machine gun to eliminate the threat of a hostile 'hog.
