I think there should be a tranqilizer in reach. You shoot it and your enemy slows down (like when you're carjacked) for 5 seconds. If its a headshot, they fall on the ground as if you are dead, and you press (A) to get back up. The point of the gun is, if your fighting a guy with 2x your shields, or your heath is low, and his is high, then this stops him and gives you a chance to get away.

Thoughts?

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

No thanks. I shoot to kill.

Eat raw meat.
Punch a bear in the face.


If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

There are two problems with this:

1) Why would you want to tranqulize a dangerous enemy when you can kill them?

2) In MP, would a tranq dart pierce shields and armour?

Rather, people will instead use it to stop someone in their tracks, stick them / run to the back and assassinate them.

...

this type of weapon works best in stealth based gameplay. balance issues will be too great in a shooter like halo. Devs would rather avoid the trouble.

no thats what a plasma pistol is for.


this is not a good idea, like everyone else is saying, why stun when you can kill.

I wish they would allow signatures at the end of someones post... Would be fun.

Only if you can use it as a noob combo.

I had an idea similar to this a while back. The problem with it would be that people could repeatedly head shot players with this weapon, not kill them, and prevent them from being able to play.

You forgot the 'Fail' poll option.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

First of all, a dart won't peirce shields and armour. Second, you could just as easily shoot him with the far more effective alternative, bullets. Third, maybe your idea would be better suited for an EMP gun, although it still has the same problem as the tranquilizer.
