Subject: Why make something new ehn we already have it?

I'm just a guy like you that plays halo.

There is loads of thread suggesting new idea's for Reach but why not suggest changes to previous weapon. vehicles, etc...

My suggestions:

Assault Rifle
* Longer Range (A half or two thirds of the BR range)
* Better Accuracy (It would start of accurate then slowly get inaccurate )
* Kick Ass Sound (Am I the only one that think the AR sounds like a -blam!- gun in H1 and H3?)

I really want an AR that actually works like an Assault Rifle.

Battle Rifle
* Remove IT!

* Semi Automatic (Shoots as fast as you can pull your trigger but not too fast so mods could be used)
* Cross-hair is inaccurate at hip fire (therefore not a every 'situation' gun)
* Either shoots single bullets or burst of 2 (effective for semi automatic feature)

Needs to be fixed or removed. Your welcome.

Sniper Rifle
* Night Vision (only through the scopes, like Halo CE)

Nothing really needs changed here, only the added feature of night vision.

Pistol
* Fast Rate of Fire
* Quick switch out time (like CoD when you change to the pistol it switches out faster)
* Shields Down in 7 Body Shots
* 1 Headshot

Well really the pistol is for when you need to reload or you are out of ammo or for that quick headshot.

This is all I can think of right now (I have the Flu and I am typing this out of boredom) so you guys post your ideas and criticise mines, peace!

It sounds very different between H1 and H3. I agree in H3 it sounds like a kids toy and I dislike the sound. In H1 however I thought it sounded fantastic.

Well, don't let the name fool you. They may call it a certain name, but that name need not imply its function.

I'm not too bothered by the way it sounds in Halo 1, but I absolutely love the way it sounds in Halo 3, mainly because my sound system really increases the depth and volume of the underlying metallic clack to each bullet.

I like the new sound it got in ODST, they should keep with that one for the Assault Rifle.

A single shot BR is where the game's main weapon needs to go. Case closed.

Your thread just went to hell because u dont want the BR. That is a joke

A mythic member but I speak my mind to much.

I like the Br as is. its the other guns that need fixing, since they are pretty useless. the AR needs fixing mostly, its not accurate enough. If they could increase its range and accuracy the Br would have something to contend with. Then there would be two guns, both good, with two separate functionalities. Br for long range work, AR an automatic version of the BR with a more loosely defined role.

Perhaps make BR single shot when it is scoped in.

Edit: We also need the SMG from ODST if the SMG is to make another appearance.

I was so upset when I zoomed in to fire on that grunt on a turret up on the ledge in the first level of Halo 2, and two extra bullets came out.

Wherever you roam
so far from home
you'll be safe from peril
life threatening and terrible
if you avoid David Powel
and keep track of your towel.

Because as far as I knew, the Battle Rifle fired single shots when zoomed in, and I was really looking forward to that.

lol What a common misconception. The BR was single shot even when NOT zoomed in... Just because they always zoomed in when they shot the BR in that E3 demo for Halo 2, doesn't mean it was only single shot when zoomed in. There's gameplay footage of the single shot BR on Lockout on the bonus dvd that came with Halo 2's Limited Edition.

Now THAT BR would've been great.

So what you're saying is that you were hyped specifically for an in-game gun using a specific fire mode while actively scoped?

Well holy frak, that's like that YouTube guy who claimed that ODST sucked because the Covenant cruisers in the last mission had no effect on the cars sitting on the road (which is physically quite sensible by the way). If you expect things that specific no -blam!- you're going to be disappointed.

I missed it too. And that whole level they originally showed. looked much nicer than the levels they replaced it with. And no Ghost chase.

We expected it because they had created it, and showed the world at E3. Unlike the example you gave, about the ship displacing air in the atmosphere with enough force to move the cars on the street. I never saw or heard bungie ever discussing that addition. They are not the same thing.

  • 11.12.2009 7:19 AM PDT

It seems two of you either failed to realize that Bungie had a multiplayer show for E3 as well, or that you completely forget that the Battle Rifle changed at least twice in between the New Mombasa E3 video, and release.

Only in the single player E3 was the gun sem-auto - the following year when focus was shifted to mulitplayer, the Battle Rifle became a three shot burst when unzoomed, and fired single shots when zoomed.

You make it sound like the game was ruined for me because of it. Nothing was announced after E3 about any changes to the Battle Rifle, so I didn't expect zoomed fire to be changed as well. The Battle Rifle was a big deal for me, to the point that I was making my own 3D Halo game to pass off the time until the game was released. It's half the reason I chose this username.

Wrong E3 - I'm talking about when Bungie showed off multiplayer the following year.

You sound like those MLG kids that worship the BR and don't care for other weapons. Please, if you have an attitude like this, don't post in my thread.

Plan on updating thread on more ideas later.
