Laser is an awesome weapon and makes it so vehicles aren't so overpowered.

You are right. The laser makes sure the vehicles are not overpowered. In addition, it makes them not even a factor in the game. I can't tell you how many times I have been lasered in a vehicle in matchmaking. And before you tell me I suck, let me make my case.

In H3 matchmaking, there are only several different vehicles that appear (excluding Heavy as it is not a normal playlist). The laser dominates everyone of them to the point that no one usually want to drive/fly them.A great example is the laser on regular Sandtrap.

As soon as someone grabs it, the banshee is immeadiatly taken out of the fight, the warthogs are high priority targets as they are usually just drivable double kills, and anything else is doomed. Now you might tell me that the laser has a very limited ammo supply and it respawn is very long. This is all true. In addition to the laser, the vehicles have a rather long respawn as well. the warthogs seem to respawn every 30 sec., the mongoose(s) a little faster, and the banshee/hornet spawn time is a joke.

The laser, as it exists in H3 matchmaking right now, seems to be the only way people take down vehicles. this is sad because it prevents the use of other great tactics such as the power drain/ plasma pistol, the sticky grenades, and the good ole' fashioned jacking.

Realistically, the laser should not even be in the game due to the continuity and canon of the franchise, but I hope my arguement is proof enough of its deserved removal.

While your argument does have legitimate reasons to hate the laser, this is why they have so few on maps. It is also why it has almost no ammo and charge time. It is so that the vehicles aren't too overpowered while still allowing vehicles too be there and kill.

did you even read the post before replying?

It needs more weapons not less, WHy the flamethrower? Thats just safety.

i agree the laser should be removed. even the strongest vehicles get KO from it and thats pathetic. theres no point driving vehicles when they are only a jackpot prize for the other team.

I think the laser should only be in campaign and custom games, and in matchmaking replaced by the lock-on rocket. at least it could be avoided some times

I would say that the vehicles in the game are vulnerable to many other items(trip mine, rocket pod, sticky grenades, rocket launcher, sniper, hammer, other vehicles to name a few). The laser seems to have an unfair monopoly on vehicle destruction.

Agreed. The lock on rocket was fine as it had good accuracy, but could be dodged in the right circumstances.

The Mauler. It serves no purpose, other than to be another stupid CQB weapon (we have enough of those).

  • 11.01.2009 3:06 PM PDT

Corn, Oil, and Wine... We need more wine...

Remove the BR, it doesn't belong. Well, along with any other gun that doesn't belong in REACH, spiker, brute shot, spartan laser, etc...

The BR. Seriously. It's not because I hate the gun, I hate the arrogant pricks who use it and want to see them cry..

Now FOR REAL? The flamethrower. The damn thing's a team kill machine. They either need to fix it, or cut it.

lol wow both of your suggestions are horrid. i dont even need to say why

but i think ALL the weapons should be carried over. more variety = more awesomeness :D

Dang. I think you got me beat there. >.< I know when to accept defeat.
Nt to mention that the laser is also absurdly powerful against infantry.

The BR, not because it is over-powered. I can use it reasonably well and all. But it has a problem with overuse or versatility when every single player has the vast majority of their kills with the same weapon.

It ruins the whole game because you HAVE to use it if you want to do well, either make it less common or useful, like add smg-type recoil to the three shot burst to make it harder to use.

But we need the laser!

The Spartan laser is the only weapon that can destroy vehicles.We need the laser to kill noobs who stay in the ghost the whole game.But a weapon that should be removed would have to be the mauler,we D'ONT NEED TWO SHOTGUNS.

I'm going with the Mauler... it's like a Shotgun, except worse.

But a good weapon they should BRING to reach would have to be some sort of covennant flamethrower that fires those ble flames you see on destroyed wraiths/ghosts.

I don't want the flamethower. You never use it except for on one map, and whoever picks it up dies fast.


That's because it sucks ,they need to make a new one.

maybe it could fire a smaller version of the Hunter's beam weapon? those do gradual damage, as opposed to the honor guard hunters' fuel rod cannon

I would prescribe less damage. The weapon is highly overpowered for matchmaking.

Spikers, brutes, brute shots, maulers, carbines, brs, flamethrowers,spartan lasers, and smgs
