Would it be cool to be able to pick your own non-power weapons when you spawn. So like you will be able to start off with a BR and an plasma pistol, or a AR and needler. No Rocket launchers our snipers.

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.

Is the energy sword a power weapon?

BR is a Power Weapon.

Seriously though? I say no. It discourages people to go out looking for weapons or force them into situations where they have a weapon setup they don't like to use (BR Humpboy stuck with AR/Magnum starts) as well as limiting their power through avaliable ammo.

Impossible is Nothing!

Only if there is A LOT [I mean A LOT] of new weapons.

  • 11.11.2009 6:49 PM PDT

I hate being in a wide open evironment and my opponent has a BR and I only have an AR.

  • 11.11.2009 6:53 PM PDT

maybe a setlist but otherwise no.

  • 11.11.2009 6:56 PM PDT

"Were it so easy?"

I think a non-power weapon could become a power weapon if used right....so NO. Example: Plasma Pistol.

This, having them as an optional matchmaking gametype wouldn't hurt anyone.

I want to start with a freaking Energy Sword...

Mythical Group

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

That completely changes the style of the game. Name me one FPS where when you choose the gun you spawn with there's others littered around the battlefield.

This only have effect depending on your player model

Spartans would use AR/BR
Elites would use PR/Carbine

just an idea

  • 11.11.2009 9:12 PM PDT

I'd start off with the SMG, cause it's a beast and more legit than a AR.

  • 11.11.2009 9:42 PM PDT

Thats whats up

smg rules

Group invites will be treated very poorly because the Care Package is empty.

The best combo would always be picked, and the game would be Halo Semipower weapon fest all over again.

  • 11.11.2009 9:47 PM PDT

Everyone would pick the BR or the Needler.I'm sorry but this is a stupid idea. If you narrowed down the weapons list though...
Edit: It might work... but I doubt it.

Clearly because the desktop uses a 3 prong plug and a laptop uses a 2 prong plug, the microwave will fill your car with tostitos better

A stricter definition of power weapons is needed. But it wouldn't matter to me, no matter what, no. That's not Halo to me.

Veto for ARs!!!!

If by "non power" you mean "crap guns" then yes, fine.

A short-ranged, mid-ranged, and long-ranged option. SMG, AR, and new BR seem just right for me. All come with the sidearm pistol.

catching plasma nades may be bad for you health

also agreed
