Exactly; I'd like a MA5 with 60 rounds, replace the ammo readout with a type of holographic sight, better armor piercing rounds, a laser sight mounted on the side, and a heavy barrel configuration for long range capabilities. And I would like the ability to change the firing modes from full auto, semi-auto, and single shot.

The helmets can only do so much though, but you're right. I have alot of ideas for armor customizing as well; things that would actually affect gameplay. And changing the color of the weapons was one thing I had in mind as well, maybe even put the kill count for that weapon on the side as well, like Battlefield's system almost.

I am aren't I? I was thinking about working for 343 once my last two years of high school are up.

Will do; I'd love to have my amount of kills etched onto my Magnum though-imagine someone seeing 20,009 on the side of it. That's the equivalent of having 200 service stars on a weapon in Battlefield.

Yeah, having that on there seems pretty plausible though; showing that you favor that weapon and are very good with it. The colors would also affect the weapon too, depending on the environment. Black would look good and be good for stealth, but in the middle of broad daylight it would soak up the heat from the sun. Depending on the things you did to the weapon or your armor, it could potentially burn your Spartan if you're not careful, cause the weapon to overheat and not fire properly, or melt the inner firing mechanisms. It all depends on your choices, I'm not saying it will melt super quick or be extremely delicate, just it's a factor. Imagine being in a volcanic environment or desert for instance, and your weapons have a black coating.

Yeah, lol, it is a possibility though, especially if you're shields are down. But I just like those kind of mechanics; no game really has that. If I made a game, it would be amazing, but cost alot probably just because of all the things I'd put in. And you're right about the black thing, the polymer is pretty resistant. Over thought that one a bit.

LOL, definitely not going to put napping in, but I see your point. But if your weapon did explode or implode, you could use that as an advantage; maybe a makeshift shrapnel grenade...But alright. What about armor affecting gameplay then?

Surprisingly I do very well in halo though...I just have alot of creativity. I've got time before I decide what to do though, I'm sure I'll find a solution, but I would definitely not make maintaining a gun mandatory. And who knows, games have come a long way, maybe improvising on the fly isn't so far fetched in a few years or so.

You know it, that would be worth buying. I'd like some huge maps like in Battlefield to fight on too, with room for 32 people on one map, or just 24 if they haven't improved servers by then. I was even thinking of something along the lines of space combat, like in Star Wars Battlefront 2. Even using thruster packs and flying through the vacuum and hijacking other people's fighters or fighting on top of the hull of a starship or military frigate.

While this might work to campaign, and I admire your creativity, it wouldn't work in MM. Why would I bother going single shot when I can dump the 60 round clip in around 2 seconds? People would just go for the most efficient (in this case spray and pray).
