Dont underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

If it takes 5 minutes for people to read that much... standards are really low these days.

Adding on custom weapons attachments would be pretty beast but it sounds a lot like CoD4. The weapons already have attachments on them but only the basic attachments. From the books you could add attachments and that would be sweet but mostly everyone is talking about what the armor permututions would be like! So yeah weapons attachments would be nice to an extent or it would be too much like CoD4!

1. halo Arsenal is based off a simple functionalities. all of these additions would have to balanced and there are bound to be issues. However for campaign mode it would be cool to find mission particular weapons such as the silenced SMG for a stealth bit.

2. An advanced weapons editor for custom games would be cool. but for MM not so much.

3. I haven't really played CoD what do you mean?

4. fire selection is not necessary. you just have to use fire control. use short controlled burst with the AR it's almost as accurate as the BR.

I think the AR should have a smart linked scope like the M7S and M6D just to make it more of a formidable mid-ranged weapon. and as far as the grenade launcher goes it was originally supposed to have one, however bungie did not give Halo Alternate fire button or a ran in to balance issues

If those of you have read the Halo books, you've probably read parts where the Spartans have added attatchments to their weapons, but before people start thinking I love CoD4, I think it should go beyond attatchments.

1. Their should be variations of scopes, silencers, extended mags, and other attatchments.
2. You should be able to make your own weapons, nothing overpowered, but changes to existing weapons including rate of fire, type of ammo, and other small changes. This would also include painting the weapon :D
3. This would use a system similar to CoD4, so these things would already be saved to the game, and you wouldn't have to load all of these weapons.
4. There could also be an option to switch weapons between automatic, and semi-automatic. Maybe this would only apply to the assault rifle.

You may have noticed something in the supposedly 'leaked' 'real' screenshots on YouTube. That's where I got the idea.

This would only be a multi-player option. But I would gladly see some changes to the single-player weaponry like a scoped AR.I also think a grenade launcher would be a good idea, that could be loaded with frag or incendiary ammo.

Less CoD. More Halo.

I'm not against new weapon types. ODST had a unique idea for using supressed weapons in stealthy manner. If only shooting the bad guy with the supressed weapon didn't alter his friends to your location.

My name is Alex. I am 20 years old and I am currently attending the Savannah College of Art and Design to become a conceptual artist (majoring in game design). I am an avid gamer with a collection of 532 games (183 of those are 360 games(70 of which I have yet to play)) and every console from 1985 and onwards. I also have the most beautiful womanz in the world, who encourages me to draw more (I need the encouragement haha).

I agree with the OP of this thread. The custom weaponry should only be available in custom multiplayer (custom game search w00t!) and in Campaign though. The Multiplayer communists out there can keep there "balanced and simple" weapons while the fun enthusiasts can have fun with custom weapons. That is the way I feel about the subject. I am sorry MLG wannabes, but you should realize that not every damn thing in the game has to be balanced.

a few questions...

This idea could only really work with the BR and AR, because those are usually the default guns. So would the weapon adjustments only be equiped on my default gun? or say the game is basic slayer, and i pick up a BR. Will that BR have the adjustments that I have in my profile? or will it be default?

Would you save all of your adjustments into your profile, and then when you pick that weapon up in a game it automatically changes to your liking?
