Subject: brute mauler

i dont know if there will be brutes in halo: reach. thats up to bungie to decide exactly what ground forces the covenant deployed to the surface of reach. but if they have brutes, i hope that also have one of my favorite weapons, the mauler.

its such a cool weapon. it looks kinda like a revolver and looks cool the way you reload it. the sound it makes sounds satifying. it makes a great mauler/melee or mauler/smg combo. when you duel wield them, you basically have something that can take on the shotgun.

one thing i have noticed about the mauler is that theres this little cylindrical thing on the top of the gun. it looks like it could be either a scope (kinda pointless on such a short range weapon) or a laser (which would be much more helpful for aiming in close quarters situations.)

i also hope they keep the other brute weapons...

mauler should be kept, and used as the shotgun as well (same weapon with a different body) because the shotgun spoils combat

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

Multi-player is not canon. If there are no brutes, o well, Bungie can still decide to keep weapons in the multi-player. I think they would be foolish just to scrap weapons in multi-player because they aren't in Campaign.

good point. bungie should then let us have options like getting halo ce weapons in like custom games.

Completely redundant weapons are not cool.

err... i dont want to have to repeat myself haha (i wrote a whole paragraph on differences in the shotgun and mauler and how they should be more similar earlier, and i cant find it so...)
your right, weapons that are exactly the same like that are bad, but the shotgun is too poweful. It should be longer rang and weaker than it already is, more a kin to the mauler, but still more powerful than the mauler, so that it is prefferred above it. The 'jet' or 'spread' of bullets should be thinner if you take my meaning as well. I might just be me but i have a real problem with the shotgun.
now thats said i know someone will come and go "its just you :D"
