Subject: New Weapons in the Next Halo Game

I don't care. I really don't.

In Halo CE, no weapon had an exact counterpart. In Halo 2, the weapons were less unique with the addition of new weapons to serve counterparts, but still had some unique sets.
Then, in Halo 3 and Halo: Reach, the weapons had near exact counterparts with only a few completely unique weapons:
Assault=Plasma Repeater
Battle Rifle/DMR=Covenant Carbine/Needle Rifle
Beam Rifle=Sniper Rifle
Concussion Rifle/Brute Shot=Grenade Launcher

I could go on, but I think you get the point. What I'm saying is that in the next Halo game that what if the weapons supplied had their own completely unique ways of working, no balancing for Covenant/Human weapons, and be more relatable to the canon and less based on equal power gameplay?

The Elites are the only playable Covenant in the Halo series, and since they wouldn't be enemies in the next game, the weapons wouldn't need this counterpart system.

So, would people want this? What kind of weapons would we want dug up from the depths of the Halo canon to finally use for the first time? The Stanchion, perhaps? Or the Confetti Maker? What do people think?

The Stanchion would definately be #1 on my list, the Confetti Maker doesn't sound very accurate from its description in GoO so it wouldn't serve much purpose.

But Insurrection uses human weapons. Plus I don't think that's Halo. If I wanted to go shoot humans in a Campiagn I'd play CoD or BF:BC 2 more.
Confetti Maker just sounds awesome and sounds like an automatic, anti-vehicle weapon. It's like the HMG. Except better because it would have no counterpart.
Also, what other unused weapons would you want?

You didn't get the joke... :/

More Forerunner weapons would be a nice start, using an Onyx Sentinel's beam would be badass. I'm not gonna lie, the combat knife would be quite nice too.

An Honour Guard's Energy Stave and Curveblade would be pretty cool too.

Oh, and who could resist the Gravity Throne?

We should know better, because we are better.

Hard sound rifle would be an amazing sniper.

Portable MAC gun...

Seriously, I PRAY they bring in the MA5K, the variant of the Assault Rifle Spartan III's used.

Yeah, I didn't.

How about the exploding cutlass in Contact Harvest? That'd be crazy.
Or the Hunter Assault cannon, finally. That'd be the ultimate weapon.
Or maybe bring back the Gravity Wrench from pre-Halo versions.

I completely forgot about the MA5K from GoO, I love the look of it. Do want.

  • 12.06.2010 12:41 PM PDT

I don't care. I really don't.

Bring back the good old MA5B, not these shallow clip, no rnge MA5C/MA37 pieces. It's been used, but I want that back. It would prevent people from switching it out every time they spawn with it. For power weapons or style weapons yes. Just becuase, not anymore.

Also, the ability to tear off a Hunter's fuel rod gun and use it as a support weapon (200% ammo, charge for 3 seconds and fire for 5 seconds) would be badass.

How about the Hard Sound Rifle that ONI assassins use?

I like the Mk V armor.

Oni's Hard Sound Rifle. A shockwave of death. Every weapon in the entire halo universe should be available. With canon elements, like the plasma burning off a marine or trooper's face.

This would also call for much more realism and grittiness. Also, make dual wielding come back, and instead of just a little more damage, actually double. All Elite armor ever mentioned too.

Balance wouldn't be much to worry about, but in the game, have choices like Slayer, Classic Slayer, and Slayer 2.0(When there are advantages and disadvantages to armor).

This would be awesome, and there could be like the armor customization of Reach with more options, Weapon abilities of COD, and Class choice of Battlefront.

So:

You go to gun perks, choose plasma based, go to rifle class, give him a plasma rifle that is an actual rifle(Not the Repeater), and then mess with his armor.

You could do this with other classes too.

So, otherwise, you choose what one of your characters carries in, and what he looks like. But, if you don't want him anymore, you just pop up the selection screen, and choose a class.

All of these sound like good ideas. Personally, I want the Honor Guards Pike soooo bad, not to mention their Armor.

Hello... Who are you?... What are you doing?... and Why are you doing it?

this is a great idea but you might want to watch this. and skip until about 5:36. And for the record a swan song is the last thing that will be done by something.
