Its a trap!!!

People tell me they wish the assault rifle was good as it was in Halo CE. But I thought of a shift which would be needed to complement the weapons better so here is the line up for Halo Superpowered

MA5B- Since this badboy would be powered up again this is what would have to change to balance it out

M6D (CE Pistol) well if the old AR is back this would be a must

CE Shotgun

Halo 3 Sniper

Halo 2 Sword- Well having a longer range SG and AR will mean
that the Halo 2 sword range should return

Halo 3 Melee- With all the power it makes sense to keep this strength

Laser- Maybe the slightly quicker charge before the update

Halo 3 Needler

Halo 2 Plasma Pistol

Halo CE Plasma Rifle

Halo 3 Rockets- Sure everything will be powered up but if laser stays then we dont need the homing

Note I think the SMG and Spiker would be obsolete since the AR would be really good again. So they wouldnt be in this game

I personaly would enjoy it even though everything would be really powerful but a balance would still exist

So the question is do you like this version better or Halo 3s current set up?

With a weaker AR and a BR that is inferior to the pistol.

I just think its funny that making the AR good again like many sugested I think would actually greatly change what would have made in order to maintian balance

The Halo 3 melee is the worst thing about Halo 3. Don't bring that back.
and the sword lunge is long enough as it is now

Quoted everything I agreed with, and why take away SMG and spiker? Then you would only have one dual-weilding weapon left, these are not similar to AR, each serve different purposes and should be kept.
As for the sword, the lunge is already enough
Also I would love the magnum to return to strengh like in ODST.

I don't know if you get my point its a hypotetical thing where if i boast something like the AR back to what it used to be I would have to make very thing a little better since it has a lot more stoping power

So now the AR would do more damage and have more range. So the Shotgun would too.

Since the Shotgun can't be too much better then the sword and the sword would need a chance the Halo 2 sowrd would need to return

just saying that it is a chain reaction

Halo 3 melee is only bad because of the me;ee lunge. It takes away the skills involved with melee. In terms of damage it would make sense for how powerful this game would be

Ok some clarification is needed

my hypothetical idea is a theroy more then how I think the game actually should be

I am using only previous versions of Halo weapons.. nothing new

So if the CE AR and the SMG were in the same game the SMG would be pointless since the AR is more accurate and will now have more stopping power

being the case the rise of power would need the CE Shotgun to return. The Sword would then suck a lot more so the Halo 2 one would need to return. Range for range

As for that ODST magnum. It sucks it wouldn't really kill anyone in MM unless the damage was changed

A CE pistol would be better even if it was nerfed to 4 shots instead of 3 (in a halo 3 powerleveled game). I want reliability not some weapon that can't stand alone

I get your point however, I believe some weapons are already too overpowered.

So now the AR would do more damage and have more range. So the Shotgun would too.

I don't think so, far to powerful

Since the Shotgun can't be too much better then the sword and the sword would need a chance the Halo 2 sowrd would need to return

The lunge is already ridiculous, how about both be weakened?

just saying that it is a chain reaction

Halo 3 melee is only bad because of the me;ee lunge. It takes away the skills involved with melee. In terms of damage it would make sense for how powerful this game would be

I would like the lunge to be excluded, it would take me skill than the simple mashing of the 'B' button.

Been playing Halo since CE

The M6D is over rated you do realize it was over powered as hell.

The amount of times Ive killed people with it in CQB when they have an AR.
