if somone can make it, than they should definately put it in a level.

heres what it is:

my new idea for a weapon is based on the Shock Coil, which is a weapon in the second most awesome FPS (other than Halo PC) Metroid Prime Hunters. its an awesome weapon that fires an electric beam that kind of aims itself (doesnt have to be in the rectile for it to hurt people. the trigger is held and it links an electric current from your gun to your opponent. the longer the beam is fired on the opponent, the stronger it becomes, so it starts out weak, but the more its held on your opponent, the stronger it becomes, so after 3 seconds of non-stop shooting, it becomes very strong.

So you want someone to make a weapon even more unbalanced and n**bish than the FRG?

Ummmm i really don't see much need for this weapon as you'd have to hold it on your apponent for more than 3 seconds?? I doubt you could hold it more than 2 and i seriously doubt it would even tickle their shielding.

metroid prime is probably the worst series video game ever, especially that weapon. Its such a noob weapon.

Instead of making even more futuristic weapons, bring back some old ones like the AR, or rifles of today. My top picks are the AK-47, G3A3, M16A2, and the FN2000 (think splinter cell).

I want an M203 under-rifle grenade launcher, so I can try to take out hogs fleeing with the flag.

Yeh that's what i want to do.. Bring back modern day weapons and (maybe) some from the WW era too that'd be fun lol...

Wouldn't be that hard to do if you had the models for them really and custom sounds mybe custom huds.

I think that if they make a pc version of Halo 2 that the should be a mode called "create your own wepon mode"

I don't think that is such a good idea, because then everybody would make a super accurate automatic sniper rifle that shoots out incendiary rounds which create huge explosions on impact.

I think Halo PC should not use today's real life weapons because don't you think an AK-47 would appear quite archaic in a space battle on Boarding Action?

i don't think they should bring any ww2 or modern weapons into the halo universe.
can you imagine how stupid a marine 500 years in the future would look carrying a ww2 german k98 bolt action rifle?

it's total suicide.

or can you imagine the master chief using a present-day 9mm beretta, when he has a .50 cal 3-shot kill scoped pistol to use?

it's utter madness.

halo takes place about 500 years in the future, so there should be much more advanced weapon technology than what we have now. if i was a halo marine, i would much rather go into battle with a BR55 (battlerifle) than an m16 or kaloshnikov.

Maybe you haven't noticed, but a beretta 9mm and the pistol from Halo operate on exactly the same principles. Same goes for the BattleRifle and an M16. In fact the MA5B AR uses the same size ammunition as the FN FAL Assault Rifle of Today. It's only difference is the bullpup design and the futuristic look. If someone were to use an M16 in Halo, they'd fair no better or worse than someone using the AR.

It would fit in if like the covenant destroyed known armories, and the humans had to dig up the "antiques" to survive.

Reminds me of the book Battlefield Earth. Where the remnants of the human race used old thompson SMG's against the Psychlo's.

the beretta and the M6D are both sidearms, that is true, but the beretta fires a puny 9mm round, when converted to imperial measurements, is a .354 cal. round. the M6D fires a .50 cal. round. thats a half an inch diameter round for the M6D, the same diameter as the round the chain gun on the LAAG 'hog shoots. so pull out your ruler and compare half an inch to .354 of an inch, and look at the difference. i'd pick the M6D any day of the week, and twice on sundays.

i can understand your comparison of the BR and the m16, as they are very similar. but comparing the MA5B and the m16 disgraces the name of m16. the m16 fires a very accurate and hard-hitting 5.56 mm round, while the MA5B fires a comparatively weak, but larger 7.62 mm round. (the 7.62 mm round is the caliber used by NATO, (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) so all countries in the treaty use the standard 7.62 mm round.
the m16 is in every way more similar to the BR55 than the MA5B.
the m16 has a fire select of single shot, 3-round burst, or full auto. the BR55 uses a 3-round burst, and the MA5B uses full auto. the BR55 fires a 9.95mm round, (thats .39173228605 cal. in imperial, roughly .40 cal on your ruler, slightly smaller than the colt 1911 .45 cal. round). the BR55 round is muchbigger than the m16 and the MA5B.

if a m16 was used in halo, it would probably fare as well as the BR, except for the lack of 5.56 mm ammo for the m16 in the halo universe, 500 years in the future.

well tango, even though the MA5B doesn't have select auto-rates, you can do semi-auto or full auto, it depends on the depression on the trigger. I can do semi-auto, be more accurate, and take down people fast.

Tango, Everything you said I already knew. Your not the only gun nut who plays Halo... As for caliber size, A larger caliber bullet doesn't necissarily mean it's better or worse at causing damage. You have to take into account the amount of propellant used, and the muzzle velocity as well. Even a .22 caliber bullet has very good penetration power. Today the .50 Action Express round is the largest round that can be fired from a handgun (noteably the IMI Desert Eagle MkXIX .50 AE (My favorite handgun)

Also you have your bullet types mixed up for the pistol and the Hog. The chainhog uses the .50 Caliber BMG (Browning Machine Gun) round, the same used in the P-51 Mustang, and the Berret M82A1 Sniper Rifle. The M6D and Deagle use the .50 AE round. one is a rifle round the other is a pistol round.

of course you can. any full auto gun can have burst fire capabitlities.

the M-1 Grand, and the Thompson sub-machine gun would own.


maybe in COD or MOH or BF1942, but not in halo. using a ww2 gun in halo would be like using a civil war muzzle loading musket in ww2. not a good idea.

of course the caliber doesn't decide how much damage will be caused, but it is a major factor, along with muzzle velocity and amount of propellent used, as you said.

i don't have the round types mixed up, i very well know there are different lengths for the M6D and the M41 LAAG. it would be preposterous to fire a 12.7x99mm round out a handgun. is was merely mentioning that they fire the same diameter round.

its good to find another firearms lover in the MAW!

I will learn how to use modding tools just for that. The shock coil has given me hours of enjoyment on nintendo wifi, sucking the life out of your opponent faster than he can take yours away! hahahahahaha!!!! BTW, PM me your friend code, same goes to everyone else who plays this game, i only have one friend on my roster :(

Although the ammunition caliber for the MAB5 and modern day equivalents are the same, it's unlikely that the propellant remains constant. Most likely the corps are using some kind of advanced combustible, and pack a lot more firepower in them

As for the M6D, the rounds used there are not onl .50 but explosive rounds to boot. It's little surprise that they're so powerful, I frankly wouldn't be surprised if they were anti-materiel weaponry instead of a sidearm.

One other factor in deciding that the .50 MG on the hog isn't the same .50 from the M6D... The MG has tracer rounds in it! :D

Incidentally, IIRC the MAB5 and MD6 rounds are caseless, or the cases disintergrate. I can't recall any casings ejected, from either. Differences again between guns now and then.


A cool new weapon for H2? Beacon rounds. You plant a beacon or launch via rocket launcher or throw it, and 5 seconds later a Shiva nuke/a few MAC rounds/ Plasma Torpedoes come crashing down in the general area. That would be funny AND good to watch.

I like the orbital bombardment idea. But it's been done in Battlefront. As for the M6D and the AR being caseless, I'm petty sure the spent cartridges are ejected from the weapons, you can see them pile up on the floor. Also caseless = no casing. The bullet is imbedded in a block of propellant.

i'm pretty sure there are casings on the AR and pistol too, like you said. but the H2 M7 caseless SMG is caseless for sure.

Besides, a caseless .50 round? It'd be the size of a bloody golf ball I bet!
