Subject: Alternate Fire Mode

The Halo 4 trailer shows Chief firing a grenade from a pistol. Assuming that pistol can also fire bullets it is clear that weapons can have two fire modes. If you could create a alternate fire mode what weapon would it be for and what would it do.

Here are some I thought of:

Magnum's alternate fire mode is a grenade launcher.

DMR has suppressed noise ammo.

Carbine has tracking tag that puts a waypoint on players or vehicles that the rest of the team can see.

AR becomes mid range shotgun like the flak cannon.

Shotgun fires a stun slug that slows movement speed.

Sniper has no smoke trails.

Energy sword is silenced.

Focus rifle is healing ray.

Rockets have homing ability.

sort of like in the halo books

And what's next? Change the name of the game to Halo: Modern Warfare 4?

To be honest, when I first saw all this in the weekly update I thought 2 things.
#1- there is an actual legendary ending but,
#2- No matter what anyone does,(kill all the bobs, hit all switches etc) that until the "time" mentioned in "There'll be another time..." is reached there won't be a legendary ending.

The weekly update by bungie has slowed my hardcore search for what unlocks the legendary ending.

This is NOT COD

Focus rifle as a healing ray, sounds like that one gun from Resistance 2.
Rocks already have homing on Air targets
AR with shotgun attachment? Now I don't have to deal with double beat downs! (oh wait)
No smoke trail is a little unfair since there's no kill cam on halo. Have a big flash if u get rid of it.
Carbine with tagging system? Sounds like that other gun from resistance 2!

Interesting. Is the blade on the opposite side of the Hammer head?

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.
Bad Guy, this is Gun.

Sounds good at first but if this was implemented it would piss off a lot of people.

A new pistol entirely would be great to. like the one from halo 3 but less powerfull


wat.

  • 01.16.2012 12:03 AM PDT

Grenade launcher having a trap mode: You can launch a shell that sits in wait, either for a timer to run out, or an enemy to come near.

Needler could have a full needle discharge, kind of like a shotgun. that would be cool.

Assault rifle + nade launcher attachment

Silent Sniper mode

ZB DMR with 3 shot burst mode. Giving both DMR and BR lovers something to use.

Full auto pistol

Cant think of any more, but the BR/DMR one is the change id most want.

  • 01.16.2012 1:14 AM PDT

No. No. And please, no.

NO.

Happiness is a warm gun

if the focus rifle could heal or regenerate sheilds, that would be awesome. Great idea.

Also, carbine waypoint tagging is alright, but I think we should have a waypoint callout marker built into our hud anyways, the way Tribes: ascend does.

The rest seem pretty bad IMHO.

That said, how about if nades had a secondary mode which enhanced the kinetic force, but softened the damage, to be used for grenade jumps, and forcfully moving weapons/objects

I seem to go negative more than I go to positive. I still think I will get a 50 on this account, I've been practicing in LAN 1v1s against my sister and been playing Mythic difficulty.
