I'm planning on making a Blood Gulch remake on Valhalla... for my own personal use, and perhaps a public release, and I need to know what you think... about Halo 3's Assault Rifle.

Is Halo 3's Assault Rifle a worthy successor of Halo 1's Assault Rifle? What about Halo 3's SMG?

Which one of these do you consider to be closer to Halo 1's Assault Rifle and prefer to use?

I'm not making excuses. I never claimed to be good. I have never played any colonel better than me though.

I'm inclined towards that.

What about the Spikers? Should I delete, replace, or ignore them? Should I keep the Brute presence (i.e. Brute weapons) on Valhalla at obscurity, wipe them all out and replace them with Covies, or leave them be?

They're not on Valhalla.

The AR, the SMG is better then the POS it was in Halo 2 but the AR is still a much better weapon and was brought back cause its absence in Halo 2 was a big time screw up.

Halo:CE's AR does have more rounds in the chamber but Halo 3's AR still gets the job done.

So far, it seems the AR is in the lead. I guess I'll go with that.

But one last thing. What about the Magnum? Should I replace Battle Rifles with the Magnum, some Battle Rifles with the Magnum, or put no Magnums on the map?

Pronounced "Nay-uss"

imo the halo 3 AR is WAAAAAAAAAAY too powerful for a CE remake

I'd go with SMGs

Thanks for your contribution. I will be modding this map to ensure that it's as accurate if not enjoyable as ever. Of course, I will not be uploading this to Bungie.net, as that is forbidden.

When you get it done send me an invite so I can play on it and save it. I love modded maps.

  • 01.31.2011 2:43 PM PDT

Invite me please.

I can't gurantee I can since I don't have Xbox Live Gold. But I will certainly upload it somewhere else as a downloadable file. All you need is a usb stick.

Why use one or the other when you could just -BLAM!- BUY HALO CE!?

Because:

1. I already got it.
2. I like Halo 3 more.

So I have come to a decision. Just replacing all the SMGs with Assault Rifles would be letting down people who prefer the SMG.

So hows about I replace the Spikers with the SMG (inspired by Snowbound), the SMGs on the bases and lying on the ground with Assault Rifles, and leave the SMGs that came in the drop pods alone?

Or is there a better way to approach this?
