They were pretty sweet in halo 2 and the halo wars cutscenes. Since the main enemies in reach will likely be dominantly elites, it would be cool to see these in game. Maybe tap RT to thrust with it and hold RT to throw? It would also look really cool on a player model's back when not in use.

Think how sweet pike throwing would be. You'd have to lead your target, arc the shot, but a hit would look really awesome.

There is nothing wrong with Halo:Reach. We all just have our gripes about everything we don't like. Not liking something doesn't make it broken.

How about this, like the Golf Club, it would be a different version of the Gravity hammer.

Heres how this would work.

Your movement, lunge, the way it sweeps...It would ALL be EXACTLY the same as the Hammer, only you wouldn't see a shockwave (Although it would be there) and the sound of impact would be entirely different.

This way you don't need it to be a new weapon, so it can't cause balancing issues.

I love you idea freind, but the closeminded people roaming this forum tend to scream 'Unbalanced!' at any given sign of creativity instead of trying to give helpful advise.

Multiplayer then. Or bungie could retcon the story and have honor guards on reach because they're really cool.

Why? Because you say so? Bungie makes the rules buddeh. Let's just say, for the sake of argument, that Bungie adopted this guys idea and used it...

What you gonna do? If Bungie says that what it is, that is what it is. You sure didn't create the universe the game takes place in.

Hell, Bungie would be allowed to put Flood on Reach. It's their story ain't it? No one said its a copy of the book, least not that I've seen.

Hell, not only could they use Flood, they could make them all four times the normal size and fluorescent pink with lacy panties on.

That's a shame. It would be awesome to see everything brought back.

Will an arbiter be present? He may have honor guards watching his back.
