What about some forgotten Forerunner weaponry?

Well, first of all...why forgotten? Well, considering this game is more than likely going to take place on Reach, and considering that the planet was glassed causing many things to be lost, what if there was a certain, very brief of course Forerunner discovery that occurred down there?

I mean, we really don't know a lot of what happened on the planet. We followed John's footsteps during that battle. It's possible that while on the planet that the Spartans or the Covenant found some mysterious weaponry, and since the Spartans are trained to use any weaponry they can find, and I'm sure the Covenant wouldn't hesitate to use some new form of power, then it can be fairly realistic to pick up and use. Plus, the planet gets glassed anyways, so all remains of this weapon would be destroyed, and knowledge of it. It could fit into the Halo canon well enough.

Also, I'm not saying this is the only place this weapon was made. I'm simply saying that it's never been officially discovered yet, it could be in other places. Remember, we don't know EVERYTHING about the Halo universe.

Now, that's my rant on how this could actually work since we have so many people's brains that implode on the thought of something being non-canon, so here we go. What are your thoughts of a new form of Forerunner weaponry? Maybe a rifle of some sort? A cannon? Maybe some unique gun that shoots particles or bullets in a unique way? What are your ideas? We've seen what the Covenant have come up with, we've seen what the Humans have come up with, but we haven't seen a lot of the Forerunners' material, besides architecture majorly.

actually we didn't.
he wasn't even on reach during the attack.

I'm not even sure humankind knew about the forerunners before MC discovers halo.

For the first part of your post. We did not follow MC in the book The Fall of Reach, but we did in First Strike.

we sure did.
but we're talking of the battle of Reach, the inital assault, not when he comes back on the planet.

In my mind, If Halo Reach only includes story from the book, The Fall of Reach, the game will be awfully short. I strongly believe we will see story from the book, First Strike.

all I really want are some melee weapons like knives or just plain fists to stab some elites or snap some grunt necks
