If you want to see the MC die, play Legendary. If you want to see MC finish the fight, play Halo 3. If you want to see MC finish the fight by dieing, why did you waste six years when you could have done it yourself right now?

Yes, we do want more weapons. There is a HUGE gap to fill in mid range combat that's only being filled by the BR and Carbine.

Bungie should remove all weapons. Every single one. Then the game will be perfectly balanced.

  • 10.26.2009 7:26 AM PDT

Yes, really

The less than a second latency of online play is a better system to play off of than more health.

You realize this system is just as host based, right? because if you're fighting host, or someone with a better connection to host, and you each start firing at the same time, his BULLETS will register first, giving him slightly more health if the melees happen at the same time.

So would you rather have the BS of both, or just one?

I couldn't care less about any new weapons that are added, ever since halo 1 every change to the existing arsenal and addition has only worked to make each weapon all around less useful.

Instead I would much rather see a renewed effort to make every weapon useful again. We do not need three SMG clones (plasma rifle, spike rifle) and we do not need two underpowered pistols (human/ plasma pistol) that function more as gimmick weapons (offering a taste of headshot or vehicle stun rather than overall usefulness). If all bungie can do with new/ revised weapons is make more and more trash that then has to compete with (comparatively) overpowered BRs and official power weapons then I would certainly hope that they do not bother making new weapons that continue that miserable cycle.

If, however, they are willing to take a page out of the ODST team's book and overall make their weapons more useful on their own, and capable of killing foes at a decent range then there may well be hope for new adaptations of the existing arsenal as well as a few new weapons that both look cool and actually perform well on their own.

Death to rank junkies.

Yes.

remove weapons that suck (spikier)


It seems that you have never dual-weilded spikers.

  • 10.26.2009 8:15 AM PDT

Its pronounced Banhammer.

Hey hey hey, slow down.

Duel wielding spikers are powerful, but they're slow when it comes to the SMG, in both rate of fire, and projectile speed.

Yes. Some weapons need to be removed, or replaced by something else. If only to give you the illusion that you're actually using a different gun to what we've been using for 3 years (By the time Reach comes out)

New weapons... Of course! But bungie should really need to balance the weapons between the Covenant and Human arsenal.
And also more variation wouldnt hurt, because Im really tired at having the AR or BR as starting weapons everywhere.

You have 37 kills with the brute spiker. This gives you no right to pass judgement over this weapon. Have you considered perhaps that you just suck at using the spiker and should get better at using it before you write it off as a useless weapon?

  • 10.26.2009 10:53 AM PDT

Buck should not be allowed on a warthog turret.

It would be nice to see a few new weapons, or at least a new combination of weapons such as a spike-needler!!

Something that shoots a big needler-like projectile and after it hits a vehicle or something it would explode after 5sec or so.

It would be awesome

Or they could just use a fuel rod. Or a brute shot.

Hypocrite. Well technically, your problems are just spelling and punctuation but nice work calling out his grammar. Really showed him.

No we really don't. We already have too many weapons that have similar functions as 2-3 other weapons within their range group. There is no need for most close ranged weapons when the Ar is given as the secondary. Variety is cute and all, and I love it as much as most people, but redundancy just gets boring.


Not necessarily. Aye if you think back into thy dark aged, tainted past whence Halo: Combat Evolved flourished in good title and little spontaneous jumps among small type variety of tools, then I suppose this point is well beyond valid; however, I believe the holy thread creator of present beholds a courageous, most awesome idea in mind that should most definitely be taken to heart. Sing the battle cry of a true Klingon warrior whence you sling your most mighty personal bat'leth sword on your battle hardened stiff back, and smite thee unworthy opponents down with your mass arsenal full of wondrous variety, aye this is what must be. ~Cm

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

You my friend, and your post, fail.

The Spartan Laser is actually an overpowered no skill weapon, and the Spiker actually REWARDS good players by beating the AR every time.
