Subject: Halo 3 Weapons

Is there anyone else that hopes as I do that they don't just bring back the weapons that are just like Halo CE?

I am kinda hoping that they keep doing what they have done and tweak some of the current Halo 2 weapons and come out with some new ones.

What do you think?

Good name...

I say that with each of its fireing methods...

Full-Auto= No scope, less accuracy, higher bullet rate.

Burst Fire= Scope (2X) medium Accuracy, 3 Round burst.

Single Round= Scope (3X) High accuracy, 1 round shot...


Anyone like?

I dont want a guy to have multiple firing rates. That makes just like GRAW, or the Unral series. But I would like to see a whole lot more skilled weapons. Alot of guns similar but different to the BR and CE pistol. I dont want so much auto aim though.

There were like, 6 weapons in CE. I hope they don't do anything stupid like bring the number of weapons down...Halo 2 was a huge step forward, they should keep improving the gameplay and realism, not destroy it.

The only thing I ask is to make the needlers more usable. I can think of maybe 4 or 5 instances where they would be useful. Outside of that, it's like they are decorations.

Halo CE had the ultimate weapon... the Pistol. As long as there isn't an ultimate weapon like that, I'm cool with whatever weapons they choose.

Why do you people hate Halo CE anyway? How did you even come to buy H2 if you hated the first one so much? You, personally may have not hated it, but so many of you seem to. And, you were probably the same people standing in line for H2 when it came out. I just don't get it. The weapons of H1 made it what it was.

Halo CE was way more challenging.

How was it the ultimate weapon? Hang em High was played around the rocket launcher. So was Chill Out and most other maps. Longest was all about the shot gun. Some people even use timers to make sure they get these weapons. Hell, you can hardly find an honest game on XBC anymore.

Is it just me or did the assult rifle in the Bungie news story on halo 3 (in the chief cutout) look like it had 2 barrels? An underslung grenade launcher perhaps?

Halo CE was great! I love it still! But it wasn't more challenging. all you needed was the Pistol to dominate. There was no counter weapon for it.

No one should ever be afraid of looking stupid, so long as they are making a rational effort to expand their understanding.

It isn't about hate, it is about the game advancing, getting better. I for one don't want to play a 5 year old game with better graphics, updated campaign and a few new mp maps. Neither should you, such practices are bad for the industry. Some players think that anyone who likes or prefers Halo 2 must have never touched CE, that simply isn't the case. We loved CE, and Halo 2 moreso. Why? Because it was a different game, and the multiplayer was more fun. To say so isn't sacrelige, and to want Halo 3 to not revert to either title shouldn't communicate any hatred.

yea, the AR, the old M6D pistol, the sniper (the one on HALO 2), rocket launcher (with the lock on ability), the shotgun, all the old Covenant weapons (including the Feul Rod), THE FLAMETHROWER!!!, and many new ones. thats just what id like to see.

i think there should be a single shot from the rifle.........cuz if you guys remember i think one of the original videos from halo 2 when it first came out......refreshing my memory....master cheif was on the streets of metropolis and when he was firing at the grunts his rifle had single burst fire....and when the game finally came out and it couldn't do that i was disappointed....even with the glitch in halo 2 where you can single shot the br i would like to see the single shot in halo 3

I should have just let you write my original post as that is exactly what i was trying to say. I don't know how this post got changed to i want the ar like this and the pistol like that.

Non facete nobis calcitrare vestrum perinaeum

This may be a wierd idea, but the introduction of portable turrets, these could be used to make choak points ect.

If they re introduce the pistol from CE its should'nt be used as a dual wield weapon because of the recoil - also it balences it somewhat

i loved halo 1. i got bored with the pistol. when halo 2 came out, i stopped playing halo 1. now i still play halo 2, and im sick of the battle rifle. in regards to your comment (the weapons of halo ce made it what it was) is true, but true only of halo 1. i would much rather have a completely new set of weapons, because then i would have to practice and become proficient at an entirely new game and new weapon system. i really am not trying to buy halo 1+halo 2, i want a stand-alone halo 3

oh good god you couldn't be more wrong... that would totaly ruin halo. The only reason the game is good in the first place is the simplicity of its gameplay. Think about it, almost every other shooter gives you -blam!-s loads of guns and they also make you choose grenades when you want to use them

Combat rifle!? That's the dumbest name I've ever heard! MA5B suits it, and personally I think the Battle Rifle was a total failure, it was ugly, anoying to use, and three-round burst. I hope they simply make a 50. caliber rifle that resembles the battle rifle and is more long range which would work like the pistol but obviously with a smaller clip than the Battle Rifle (due to the large 50 caliber rounds) but then the MA5B (clearly depicted in the screenshots) would be almost the same as Halo 1 except slower rate of fire higher power and more accuracy with a smaller clip. The MA5B is beautiful and im so glad they brought it back (and actually the reason they changed it was because the MA5B deeply resembles that of a modern gun that was soon dicovered as soon as the MA5B models were complete so they wanted an original design)
