Subject: Weapons Changes

Okay, so I think most would agree that the weapons have gotten worse and worse throughout the Halo series, I mean, the game is still really fun, but the new weapons have lulled the gameplay, made it more frustrating to kill someone, and made other weapons like power weapons (rocket launcher and sniper) dominate the game too much.

So if you could make any changes to the weapons in the UNSC arsenal, what would they be? Guns or other weapons can be included from other games, books, or created.

For me:

Assault Rifle- name it the MA5, 42 round magazine instead of 32, just as powerful as the Halo 3 version, larger aiming reticle similar to Halo: CE reticle for the assault rifle, same longer range as Halo 3 version, and roughly the same rate of fire.

Battle Rifle- faster 3-round burst for better grouping over longer distances, 3x zoom instead of 2x. 3 3-round bursts and one round from the 4th 3-round burst to the head to kill, so 10 rounds.

Magnum: 10-round magazine, 4 headshots required for kill, 2x zoom scope, slightly faster than BR (for each 3-round burst)

Shotgun: 8-round magazine, same range and power as Halo: CE version.

Sniper Rifle: basically the same as Halo 3 version.

Rocket Launcher: basically the same as the Halo: CE version

Grenade Launcher: no bouncing grenade, more range and arc of grenade, more user-friendly, but requires direct hit for kill.

Spartan Laser: 5-burst battery, same power as Halo: Reach.

M99 Stanchion Gauss Rifle: 1 shot anywhere for kill, charges up similar to the MAC gun at the end of Halo: Reach.

NA4 Flamethrower: no 3rd person view carry, first person, move at same speed, but is less powerful, but has slightly more range.

No bloom on weapons, just slight recoil

My logic is undeniable.

Just the shotgun really, and Halo 2 style melee.

I can't comment on the Halo 2 melee, I've never played it :(

I think they should have a flame thrower, and the grenade bounce is annoying, makes it almost impossible to use it in 1v1 combat unless you bounce it into them, which is hard especially if they're DMRing you down.

All you did OP was made them even more overpowered then halo: ce ones.

I'm a stubborn guy. I love to argue my opinion, but unlike others, I'll try to see your side of the problem. I'm a triathlete, with a very heavy empephis on the swimming bit. Also, don't hate on the ~Quinton~ at the end of my posts. Why are you still reading this? #creeper #hashtagcashmoney for hashtaging on Bungie.net

For the AR I've always wanted it to be a 24 round magazine and it to have a tighter reticle with a 2x optical zoom. It would take 12 rounds to kill some one and is head shot capable. Its rate of fire would be slightly slower than it is now.

Not really, maybe the AR just a bit because it has 18 less rounds/magazine instead of 28, but is still more powerful and accurate over longer ranges, but the shotgun in Halo CE had 12 rounds, mine, 8, and the pistol had 12, 3 headshots for a kill, mine: 10 rounds, and 4 for a kill. The BR I want may be a bit overpowered, but that's it.

And besides, what's your point? The reason I made this thread was to propose weapons that would be better in my own way

That sounds kind of cool, I've always thought it would be neat for the AR to have a 2x scope on it or something.

But as for my OP, I would have the AR have 40 rounds/mag with a slightly higher rate of fire, but be as powerful as the version from Reach.
