When you have honest researched opinions, you get banned from Bnet alot...

TRUFAX

Remember in Halo CE, when every weapon had multiple uses? For gods sake, the Shotgun could kill cross map!

With every successive Halo game, the utility of guns has become more and more one sided. Que to Halo 3, where the BR was a nessecity to win in all games, especially BTB.

Now in Halo Reach, the sandbox gameplay is all but gone, and Anniversary seals the deal, the Pistol is the only weapon that can get quick kills.

Its getting old, one gun gameplay gets boring fast. Halo 4 needs to make every weapon Overpowered so that real sandbox gameplay can return to the franchise!

Agreed. Plasma stun needs to get re-added to counter bullet travel time for plasma.

I think it would be kinda fun, and interesting if they make the weapon damage the same as it is in the Novels.

For example: In the novels the Plasma Pistol was deadly.

Plasma Pistol is deadly....have you ever used it in MLG?

Everybody wants some.

I agree with this...Reach just has way too many reskinned ARs that are all but useless. Like you said in the OP, just about every weapon in CE had its own niche.

Starting base gameplay is much more important for keeping players.

So players left Reach because of graphics and not lack of fun?

If 343 released Reach 2 base gameplay with Halo 3 shinyness and colors, would you still play it?

In order to keep players, you have to gain players to keep.

You're not gaining me if your game looks like poop.

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

I disagree.
The game just becomes another Halo:Reach if that happens.

Look at:

Rockets
Shotguns
Needlers
Snipers
Assault rifles

This game already has exactly what you want.

When was the last time, Plasma Repeater, Plasma Pistol, Plasma Rifle, Spiker, or AR killed you with their bullets and not a melee. Their bullets are ridiculously weak.

Those weapons only function as shield strippers. I prefer to finish the kill with a headshot instead of a melee, but either method is faster than using the pathetic bullet hoses for health damage.

And therein lies the problem. In Halo CE the automatic weapons could get kills just fine.

I can't think of a single time that an AR outshot my pistol at any range in CE. If it weren't for plasma stun, covie weapons would have been as useless as the AR. Still, I would only carry a PR or PP until I found a better weapon.

chances are I don't care who you are or what you say.

psh
