And the 7-wood?


....are you serious?

It's just a reskinned gravity hammer. That's why it's not in any maps but sandbox, and why it's not in matchmaking. It's just for fun.

AND THERE IT IS!!!!!

"ITS JUST FOR FUN"!!!!

Thats what the WHOLE point of this thread and this GAME is all about. What is FUN. Not what makes sense to you. Who cares if YOU think its redundant.. ?? No one.. Do you think if you wouldve told them you thought the gravity hammer was "redundant" that Bungie wouldve said "oh man, hes right.. it wouldve been fun.. but yeah.. too redundant. Scratch it."?!?!

Its just for fun.. remember.. you said it.

It's a reskin. Not a whole new weapon. There is a difference.

Also: Who cares if you design a "Sticky" Sniper Rifle? No one.

By no one.. you mean you? You and one other troll are the only ones that see a problem with it. Yet your only reason is "its redundant".

And B) I didnt design anything.. I gave an idea.

Also, ALL WEAPONS are just reskins. Different projectiles, new skin.. BAM new weapon.

Please come up with something new, your posts are becoming quite "redundant."

It's like an accurate grenade launcher. Not really snipes though.

So it's exactly like a sniper but it kills in one hit and has splash damage if it misses? What's the point? And how is that balanced? How is snipe sticking different or more fun than just sniping? If you want it just for blams and giggles then why not have it set them on fire and cause a fountain of plasma grenades when they die?

There's no real demand for something like that.

I forgot subtley isn't your thing. I flipped the arguement to show how stupid your statement was.

Obviously some people like the idea. Obviously some people don't. Saying that no one cares if I think it's redundant is absurb becuase there is someone out there who agrees. Even if he didn't post.

That's quite a gross generalization there.

let me make this clear YOUR GEUSS IS AS GOOD AS MINE.basically you might think my guess its dump but i might think yours is dump but your chance of getting it right is the same as anybody else unless you know what happens

-tomf7

That would be woefully overpowered.The only counter that I can think of is... I can't really think of anything. It's almost like the grenade launcher. A way to fix it though would be to make it have single shot (reload after each shot) and that it only has 3 of these "projectiles." But then again, anybody with a decent shot could -blam- anybody regardless of range, all you have to do is "stick" them and run away like a 5 year-old girl.

My real GT is Acknown3, but cannot be linked as Bnet fails.

This = Torque Bow

Dont underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

Huh im sorry but i dont like the idea it could be different.
Your idea sounds like a modified version of the "Torque-bow" from gears of war.

It could be some kind of rocket launcher that shoots some kind of ball....kinda like the size of a power drain and this "ball" would explote and send spikes.

No but I did find a new pistol and new smg to replace it? And there are a LOT more weapons in Halo 3 than 2. I dont think you saw this statement anywhere... And the BR will be back in Reach, so.. again.. your question doesnt matter. Its completely irrelevant. More new weapons will be in Reach along with a lot returning from Halo 3. The BR wasnt in ODST because one guy didnt want it in. Didnt have anything to do with balance.


Exactly they REPLACED the BR. And Yes it's coming back in Reach, but so what? And I wasn't saying they were not bringing it back just that they had removed it.

And can you please answer my question? If you HAD to choose, which long range weapon would you remove?
Can find a link to the "irrelevant" interview with the Bungie guy tomorrow, I'm going to bed now.

Doesn't sound very fun.

I would actually love this as a brute sniper rifle. Here is my own litte re-imagination:

Descriptiom: A cross between a beam rifle and brute shot, only instead steelish and black instead or purple.

Bullets: Slightly glowing sniper rounds. Similar to GoW2 torc bow. Bullets "stick" to targert upon impact.

Damage: 1.1 frag power in a 1m range, decreasing rapidly to 1/2 power by 2m, and then gone completely by 4m.

Vehical damage: Would not have a "flip" ability. Similar to a spike grenade when it "duds" and none of the spikes to damage to the vehical.

Clip/Reload: Holds a 2 round clip, and its reload time is 1.5 the bream rifle's "overcharge."

Aiming Recticle: A circle about 1.5 the size of the BR's, but with 2 diagonal lines making an x through the center.

Scope: 5x and 10x

That is just my vision.

Feel free to quote it in the OP if you want. Might stop some of the trolling.


For those that say it redundent, uneccessary, or unbalanced, this could easily be a custom games weapon. No one would force you to use it, or play in games with it. What is wrong with adding another cool weapon to Reach?

I like your idea, but just a quick suggestion.

Instead of your sticking idea, why not just make it shoot a giant spike that fragments upon impact, ghosting like a normal sniper, but does a half shield damage when it hits a hard surface near a character.

checks and balances should be in the OP. I did look but couldn't find them.

Most halo weapons fill some sort of thing that the other weapons couldn't. I just don't see what is filled that isn't with the splazer or sniper.

its afrikkin mobile gauss sticky mwuahahahahah
i dlike the idea of a reload-after-each-shot sniper-like speed accurasy whatever spike grenade launcher.

this gun would be so overpowered. i dont understand how this is a sniper. its a one hit kill if you hit him since it sticks, so you dont have to even get a head shot to get a one hit kill. in my opion its a spartan lazer that doesnt take down vehicles.
