Maybe if Halo3 were an MMORPG...it would work theoretically...

I give it a 3/10 on the scale of exciting ideas.

But keep at it!

I dont think your considering the controls on the Xbox 360. it has two extra buttons. this isnt hard to imagine except for people that dont like to think. and by reading your subtext under your post "you dont care that chief is a futuristic supersoldier" I dont think you really care for new ideas. it's almost exactly like duel weilding. you just walk up to a weapon, and hold a button, (it works like your arming a bomb) you sit through the wait period, and its a new weapon. seriously it works well. you just have to think about it.

I've been messing with the Idea of weapons fusion. The idea isnt far from that of duel weilding. It would allow you to mix charateristics of 2 or more weapons to make a custom firearm. something like a Plasma Rife, and a Battle Rife, to make a Plasma Shell Rifle. or like a Beam Rifle and a Sniper Rifle to make a Beam Shell Rifle. This concept will give bungie the opportunity to incorperate a new system that would appeal to gamers. I hope that others will take an interest because I believe that we can make a new way to play halo! I hope to hear feedback on this matter.

And you're also forgetting that those two bumper buttons take the place of the black and white buttons. Try the d-pad. And the idea sounds kind of cheesy to me. A battle rifle isn't chambered for plasma. It's completely over-the-top. You can't work that kind of machinery in a battlefield. This thing would destroy Halo's simplistic fun. I agree with the other guy, keep trying.

And by the way, the thing in the guy's signature is satire.

Look it up if you don't know the meaning.

great idea!!!!!! BUT what I really want to see is the battle rifle with the option of full auto; semi auto; AND three round bursts. But really dude that IS a really great topic. I hope they do that it would make halo WAY more interesting.

Maybe if Halo gave you time to do this.

So sorry, no.

3 round burst are semiautomatic. What you mean is 1 shot right.

What about your idea's? something origional that you've all thought up. I'd love to hear something about a new weapons design.
As I recall, back in the halo CE days, people that talked about duel weilding assult rifles were told they were newbs, not to mention people that said the pistol needed "toned down". This wouldent kill the simplistic fun of halo, it just adds a new level to it. (and the 2 bumper buttons... yeah, dident see that the black and white were missing + I was miss informed about that.) this game takes place in the future. they placed energy shields on the master cheif, incorperating covenent tech with human tech. so the weapons fusion isnt too cheesy, unless you consider halo cheesy. all they would have to do is tweak the weapons set-up to incorperate the system. This is the only thing that would make sence to the progression of halo. but like I said, if you have something better then this, post it!

It doesn't make any sense. How would two different weapons suddenly meld into one?

Semi-automatic is not neccesarily just three round burst. It just means that you don't have to -blam!- the gun before you shoot again. WOW! I just love this filter.

But Halo makes some sort of sense. Any two random weapons "fusing" together makes no sense whatsoever.

you wouldent just fuse ANY weapons. it would just be a select few. I was thinking they could make fusion stations in levels, so you could bring 2 weapons there, then it would give you the option to fuse them. in the books it talked about humans trying to implement covenent technology into there weapons, well I see this as a way to follow up on that.

seriously, this may seem a bit far fetched, but it goes with how the story should progress. you can make so many different things out of this, the sky's the limit. you just have to keep it in a realistic prespective.

Even if such a system was asthetically logical, I still see it being too complicated and "out there" for Halo. (Even for Halo)
