Thank you sir, that was an epic rendition of this topic.

and how!

The BR that is effective in every situation and range.

Instead, lets have the BR that is effective at medium-long range and is NOT the ace of all trades?

the laser. With it in the game, there's no point to using vehicles, since it would likely get shot down by a laser. Sure it's bit more balanced in normal big team, but I would rather have it replaced by a Needle cannon that fires those huge needles meant for anti-air combat, or at least give the rockets homing again, albeit not at severe as the halo 2 one, but it would still home on to a vehicle, even if the driver gets out of it while the rocket is still in mid flight.

I am all for taking out the flamethrower. Your right, its just a team killer half the time. But FYI not everyone that is good with a BR is a douche bag.

  • 11.01.2009 7:24 PM PDT

Its not that you dont have a good idea but I think they should keep the Spartan Laser on at least one map. But as for the lock-on rocket idea I am all for it. That was an awesome ability which I sometimes think was a big mistake taking it away.

  • 11.01.2009 7:31 PM PDT

Death to escape artists.

The needler needs to be reworked so that every needle explodes on contact so that a huge explosion doesn't happen; and make it semi-auto!
Also, REACH brought the BR to the SPARTANs, along with the Halo 2 pistol. There werealso no brute weapons on REACH.
A sidenote: I want the HAVOK tactical nuke to be useable instead of the trip mine.

No, I don't want to join your group/clan/team/community.

tthe rocket launcher

  • 11.01.2009 7:44 PM PDT

Leave the BR and AR alone. They're both great weapons.

And really, all the weapons are fine where they are. All of them serve a purpose.

Why the hate for the br? just because you guys suck with it and have no clue how to use it, you shouldn't hate it. Btw maybe you should stop using your assault rifle at long range. it's a close range weapon and should only be used close up. You guys hating on the br obviously suck with it. You guys just don't know the brs potential, but once you do, you will love it. Believe me, i know from experience. I started loving the br at lvl 15. It makes you better. Believe me.

Anyways, on topic, get rid of the missile pod. It locks on for fukks sake and it just destroys vehicles. I don't want to get in a vehicle if i know six seconds later i will start to hear that ticking noise and then blow up. YOu have lasers and rockets for anti aircraft and other vehicles. Oh yeh, the spiker and smg should be powered up, the plasma rifle should be able to kill instead of quickly draing health, and plasma pistols should also be able to kill.

You know I wish they put in some love for the mongoose.

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..


So your saying you dont want a gun, cause there are people that are good with it who make fun of kids who suck with it?

If thats your logic you must hate every multiplayer aspect of Halo.

  • 11.01.2009 8:30 PM PDT

Death to rank junkies.

The missile pod. Let rockets and (faster) fuel rods track vehicles.

  • 11.01.2009 8:41 PM PDT

Message me if you want, I will try to get back as soon as possible.

See you on the forums and in the games.

Take out the spike grenade, we already have the plasma which is better all around.

Spartan Laser.
What? Why? I love the laser!
Same here, Spartan Lasers actually take SKILL to use, if you don't know what I mean, then you obviously don't have much Splaser experience.

Laser.

Remove the Laser and Misslepod, and bring back the homing rocket launcher. It was the most balanced anti-vehicle weapon.

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.

You are 100% correct Good Sir. The laser should never been implemented into MP. I'm not sure about the respawn times though, as the sniper takes longer to spawn then the laser. For Sandtrap for example, there are two lasers and only one sniper. Bungie should of kept the H2 rocket launcher (as that was extremely fun to use) and remove the missile pod and laser. For Reach though there should be only one weapon that takes out vehicles.

If you look at this to be real life, you shouldn't have a choice in which weapon to use to take down a vehicle. This goes the same for production costs, why would they develop several weapons that do the same thing? KISS.

You obviously don't know how to use the Spike Grenade properly. You can use them like proximity mines; plant one on the wall or roof or ground when someone is chasing you. They are a lot of fun if you can pull it off. They also have a better sound when you stick someone with them.

That was actually a really good troll.

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

Not have? BR... and Mauler. Mauler is worthless junk compared to the shotgun.

I hope the Flamethrower is more common in Halo Reach.

It's one of the hardest weapons to kill with at long range. Try doing that.

Flamethrower is too boring though. The Halo series is about having unique weapons, the Flamethrower is in about every game you can think of (not literally).

I believe Reach should be in the realistic side of gaming, like Operation Flashpoint or Arma II. The sniper is only used at 1-2km range, or the AR for the close encounters, or the BR for forest or city use. I would like the weapons to have actual purposes and real(ish) damage, like in the books where the Spartans couldn't be hit by more than two plasma bolts. And if you say, that doesn't appeal to the casual players, -blam!- 'em

  • 11.01.2009 10:48 PM PDT

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

They shouldn't bring in a gauss rifle.

I want a better flamethrower.

  • 11.01.2009 10:49 PM PDT

I'd like to be half-man half-tree in an octopus' garden in the shade.

Um... I'm not sure...

I'd say the Mauler. It's just a dumbed down shotgun anyway.

  • 11.01.2009 11:15 PM PDT

Take the equipment out of multiplayer. I dont mind it in campaign but in multiplayer its a pathetic thing that kids use to escape from being killed.

For this laser debate. I think it should be a longer chill time.
