It has come to our attention that a number of weapons could be renamed in a more comical fashion which would vastly improve the quality of the banter online as well as the comedic value.

For example, the Rocket Launcher would become the "Beans Applicator" giving us the opportunity to possibly use the term "I have applied the beans to the flag carrier", "give him the beans" or the classic "beans and his face have come into contact"

Another, possibly more risqué, renaming would be the Gravity Hammer becoming the "Whalloper" giving rise to the phrases "I have my whalloper out", "its time to get the old whalloper out" or our personal favourite "I am hiding behind the corner with my whalloper out"

Please give constructive feedback on this as I firmly believe that bungie have overlooked this opporchancity to create a beautiful relationship between man and his weapon.

Many Thanks,
Concerned Citizen,
The Kosher Pickle.

Halo Reach - Make a prequel to the fight.
Halo CE - Begin the fight.
Halo 2 - Continue the fight.
Halo 3 - Finish the fight.
Halo 4 - Start a new fight.

I think the Gauss hog should be renamed the Puma.

Try it during your next game. It is awesome and will all become clear.

While this is not an unreasonalbe idea, the name "puma" is not hufely entertaining by itself.
I would suggest we rename it Daphne

These are horrible names, why would you want to call it a bean a launcher or a whalloper.
The names are basic so people know what guns they have.
guy1 "Dood, you should get the spreader(Shotgun)!"
guy2 "Nah, i'm getting the butter launcher(Fuel rod)"
guy1 "Well at least bring the Shooper(Spartan Laser)"
guy2 "No, i'm getting the Spikester(Needler)"
guy3 "Those guns are stupid, get the Bee rifle!(BR)"

No silly suggestions please, also, none of these are even remotely funny. They have to have funny things to say, or sharp innuendos. Not merely a simpletons guide to what the guns does.

For example "Watch out, there is a man with his whalloper out in the shadows waiting to jump out and apply it to yours face"

See what I did there? Pure comedy gold.

You can pull out whatever you like. As long as the comedic value is there. In that sense perhaps the Sniper Rifle should be now known as the "loooooooooooooong personal weapon"

Your long and powerful energy sword speaks for itself. As long as it remains sheathed that is.
