The Mauler and the Sentinel Beam. No seriously, both weapons are pointless and idiotic. And why did they invent the Sentinel Beam? It's never in matchmaking, and it is a weak weapon that nobody uses. As for the Mauler... We already have a Shotgun, thank you.

But I want to see more Firebombs. They were almost never used in either Campaign or Matchmaking, just on the Ark. But it is a bit more common in ODST, which is good


LOL WUT?
You, my good sir, fail.
The Sentinel Beam is not idiotic and pointless.
And it's used in custom games, which is good enough for most ppl.

As for the Mauler, maybe ppl want some variation?

Wouldn't it be a bit boring with just one shotgun?


The Mauler is pointless against a shotgun unless you dual-wield, and who wants to run around the map like an idiot in search for the other one? He'd get massacred by BR-guys.

Don't scrap the Carbine. It is a nice change from the BR, and not as overpowered. But you can still get a kill with it.

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?

I think the Plasma turret should be removed and replaced with a playable Hunter cannon, that's as powerful as the turret used to be.

The beam is Fail, not me. Try to carry it around in Matchmaking. It sucks against vehicles, and I've never seen someone kill another with it, even in the Campaign or Custom Games. Good Luck with getting owned.

(But I use it as a joke for "peeing" on other players, I have to admit).

What are you comparing it to? A BR? you realize this thing is like 10 times as powerful as an AR right?

Nope. There were more than two, and if you read the book you'd see that. Two were given to Johnson and Byrne, and each of them got two to give to the two recruits of their platoon that they thought should get one. Jenkins and Forsell got them in Johnson's platoon, not sure about Byrne's.

And to be honest, just because a weapon isn't in Halo: CE doesn't mean it didn't exist at the time. Remember, only one ship with whatever was on it at the time was there. Powerful weapons like the Spartan Laser and weapons such as the BR (which was technically still in the developmental stage, but was an active weapon) would not be on a regular ship. Reach, on the other hand, is the most powerful military outpost of the UNSC. If anything, not only will weapons not be removed, but there will be more weapons that are prototypes.

I never said it didn't exist. I just said it wasn't in the battle. The Spartan Laser was in development during Reach, and the most advanced weaponry would obviously be deployed in one of two places: Reach or Earth. Both weapons were first deployed as a standard military weapon on Earth, since they were not in active circulation until just before Halo 2 (time between First Strike and the second game).

And the Pillar of Autumn was not just a regular ship, assuming you have read Fall of Reach (I am currently 1/3rd the way through Contact Harvest, so I am not an expert on the book yet). The Pillar of Autumn was one of the most advanced ships in the UNSC fleet during Reach, with the most advanced Shaw Fujikawa drive in existence as well as a new MAC gun which could fire three successive rounds rather than the usual one round. So if the gun was in active circulation at the time, you bet your ass the Pillar of Autumn would have had them.

Lurking....waiting to strike!

LASER.

and the BR or some other form of it will be in the game. Its much too integrated into the game now to remove it. They would lose MLG if they removed the BR.

Bungie doesn't make games for MLG.

1. It hasn't ever been in matchmaking
2. It doesn's suck, it is atleast twice as strong as the AR and it has a range like a sniper, clearly you have never used it.

I think they should remove the Spiker. (cool, but not powerful)I think they should also considering augmenting the power of the trip mine so that it is a one hit kill, as well as seriously modifying the pistol.

When faced with a life or death situation, what would you do? Some say to run is cowardice. I say, would you rather live a "coward", or die a fool?

The trip mine is a "one hit kill" weapon.

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.

The Spartan Laser, There are already Rockets, Missile Pods, Brute Shots, and Fuel Rods. Enough A/V is enough.

blue plasma rifle. no one will want it after using the brute red one. its like kool-aid, red is tastier.

  • 11.04.2009 2:21 PM PDT

Spartan laser, Mauler, and brute shot can not be in Reach because they weren't created yet duh.



PS Reach is before Halo CE

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.

Leave the AR alone. it is a great weapon.

BR was fun but Reach will never truly feel different unless they change the BR and replace it. Multiplayer will just be the same if the only gun we're going to rely stays the BR.

PS, four months is an extremely short time to develop a weapon.

Like, impossibly short. And that's not even considering the time to put it into mass production and deploy it.

Well as I recall, only two spartan lasers were only ever deployed in cannon, once by Mater Chief, and another time by Johnson. The laser is very experimental. Also, four months may not be so impractical when you consider that the UNSC has some of the best minds in the universe working to develop weapons to save their lives.

As far as the Br goes, I think just taking off or decreasing the range of the scope, and adding some recoil would suffice.

Halo Wars. The Spartan laser existed a long time ago.
