NO! If you have played HaloPC you know why if shouldn't be in.


They could do it better than that.

If it was like the fuel rod gun the hunters used to have in Halo 1, which they had to charge up and it arced, it would be viable and pretty cool.

You should have left an option for 'maybe'.

Why not? Its weaker then a rocket, without lock-on and great for bombarding enemy targets.

they didn't put it in Halo 2 because of some framerate issue, so it might be a possability they put it in now

Well hopefully the power of the 360 can handle the framerate, or it should.

Back on topic.

Look, the one on pc was fun, but it was unbalanced. Sure you had a rocket, but ok, 2 shots, reload, by that time you're getting shot at 10-15 times, depending on the intervals of the shots, by a guy using the FRC.

To balance it, the FRG needs ammo clips, like the one in halo 2. If you picked one up, you had to reload. Make the reload times as long as the rockets, therefore it's balanced. And since we don't know on the returning of the pistol from halo 1, and the FRC is not changed, and the pistol doesn't return, what do you have against it? A battle rifle and or sniper.

The FRC needs to be changed to have ammo clips and have a long reload time, if not, the pistol has to be returned, therefore there's a balance. Play halo pc. You will see how much damage and chaos it can bring, but can be stopped by using the original pistol.

In short, if the FRC is returned, have ammo clips and a long reload time. If not, bring back the original pistol.

Also, go play halo pc.

The last thing we need is MORE power weapons added.

they could easily balance it

ps. i <3 brute shot. try bouncing the grenades off the floor right in front of the other guy, that way its really easy to hit them plus it bounces up and explodes right in front of their face (which i assume does more damage).

Think. The frg had 30 shots in single player. Its almost as powerful as a rocket launcher, and with the scope, you can hit most vehicles without lock. Face it, the weapon wither has to be toned down a tonne or kept out of multiplayer.

I think what they should do with the fuel rod is both reduce the numer of rounds it carrys, and also reduce the power of the shots. Have the fuel rod as an anti=personell weapon and the rocket launcher as an anti-vehircle weapon.

If they simply had it so it had weak splash damage (It would take two close hits to kill someone) and you would need a direct hit to kill someone in one go, have 4 rounds per clip, 2x zoom, no tracking ability and have the rounds travel in a slight arc, not too slowly but slightly slower than the rocket launcher.
