there is a little thing called grammer you know.

There's also something called spelling.

On topic, as I stated earlier, the Spartan Laser shouldn't be removed, just given fewer shots and long respawns so that it must be used tactically. Also, why is everyone talking about weapons to removed because they're bad in Halo 3? He just asked what should be removed, and I like using most of the weapons in ODST. The lack of a BR is fine due to the fact that there are more medium ranged weapons, and due to the fact that the AR and BR are less common, people actually use regular weapons like the plasma rifle and spiker.

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.

not everybody who hates the br sucks with it. ppl hate the br because its the only weapon ppl of your logic know how to use. and it takes away the variety in gameplay because its the ONLY weapon ppl use therefor making the game BORING

Beware the smiley face! =D

Although i love the laser and it should NOT be removed, i think it should have its power reduced.

I think the battle rifle is a good weapon but it is so overused, and so it should be removed. They need to bring back the Halo CE AR (And possibly the Halo 3 one alongiside it as two different versions.)

Canonically these guns did not exist, so they should not be there:

Magnum
Carbine
Battle Rifle
Laser
Brute Shot (or any other brute weapons)
Beam Rifle (was adaptation of a new Covenant ship which was at the Battle of Reach, so not there)
SMG (not sure, could go either way).
Missile Pod
All equipment

Weapons to be brought back:
M6D (balanced of course, but keep scope)
Single wield versions of all guns (no dual wield if possible)
Powerups (possibly)
Sword (safety version)
Fuel Rod (safety version)
Rocket (halo 2 version)

You do realize that the variety of weapons is limited so the standard weapons of choice are AR and BR. So deal with it. veryone uses them. Get over it.

  • 11.02.2009 1:59 PM PDT

Mauler. It's a shotgun... but underused and less powerful.

It only appears on the same maps as the real thing.

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.
spartan lasers and missile pods have completely killed the classic vehicle battles of halo...cut them both and put back the halo 2 rocket

I don't really want to see any guns removed, but I want to see most of the dual wieldable guns tweaked so they don't seem as useless by themselves as the do now. SMG is alright by itself in extremely close quarters, but that's about it. The Plasma Rifle isn't too bad if you use it to quickly drain the shields and get the beat down, but again, that's only in very close quarters situations. Spiker is pretty worthless unless you have another one, and then if it can be easily avoided if the other guy sees it coming or is far enough away with how slow the spikes travel.

Maulers work fine by themselves with the quick beatdown, same for plasma pistols and a beatdown or quick headshot.

It just seems that most all dual wields are either gonna get you killed because either an AR or BR can quickly take you out if they see you in time or you don't get close enough fast enough.

Assault Rifle... hate it... really... they charge at you and then Melee...

Sure its great for Beginners but i still don't like it.:/

And the Battle Rifle shall live on... and yes we arrogant pricks do like to hear the awesome cry of some idiot being a whingey -blam!- after they get owned.8|!

Arch, did you ever play Halo CE? And the only reason anyone charges and melees all the time with the AR is because most people are ignorant of its flexibility.

About me: I am a vicious wolf of a man.

But really am sweet at heart. =)

BR.

I'm sick or arrogent people who use it because its the ONLY gun to use, it leads to dull gameplay and can kill from pretty much any distance other than from the OTHER side of Sandtrap.

BR-used by UNSC to defend Harvest 2525.
SMG-used by spartan team omega 2531. (plus they exist now. why would they not exist in the future? let's not re-invent weapons)
carbine-used by jackals against Spirit of Fire
Laser-Primary weapon of Spartan: Douglas. 2531.

Poor defense and wrong. Only two were on Harvest. The guns were in development stages until Halo 2, when they were put into mass production. Even the Spartans hadn't seen these guns, so they were definitely not on Reach.

Read my post, it says - "could go either way" as in, could be in or not.

Halo Wars is anything but canon, since the story is so distant from the Halo universe it was made to be something that never happened in accordance to the universe. The game also has way too many plot holes besides that.

Again, plot holes out the wazoo.

make the BR like the G3 from cod 4. Except make it look like a older style BR

  • 11.02.2009 3:59 PM PDT

1. i dont get why people want to mix halo+cod or halo+ gears horrible mixes
2. removing laser and missle pods would make vehicles highly over power'd im sher you'd like a good laser or missle pod when a warthog and banshee was constently killing you with nothing to use but ur br/ar
3. i think the plasma rifle and ar need a power boost to weak and bring back halo odst version of the pistol not to strong against shields but is the headshot honcho and weaking the needler but bring back dual wielding for it
4.missle pod replaced lock on rocket.....
5.should brig back specter from halo 2

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

I want the Halo 1 flamethrower brought back, with the flame spread tightened so there isn't as much team killing.

Read First Strike again. Under CASTLE base Fred gets BR55s and H2 pistols plus random bits of Mk6 armor.

"Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind." - Albert Einstien

Not in circulation - means not in production. I understand that they got BR's in First Strike, but these were in an ONI weapons locker, and none of the Spartans had seen them until then. Which means the BR was not used in the battle of Reach since by then the battle was over.

  • 11.02.2009 8:08 PM PDT

Play to win. and remember dude just chillax its a game

not really a gun because the team kill machine(flamethrower)is fun and awesome. they should take off team kill in matchmaking

Spiker. It isn't significant in any way other than the fact that idea is cool. It just wasn't executed well and really isn't any fun to use


But the best dualwield combo in the game is PR-Spiker. I think needler needs to be NEEEEERRRFFED
