Yeah this should be in the weapons topic, but whos guna read it in there? I think a really cool gun would be a gun that does not have a visible 'ray' or 'laser' but it still kills the enemy. It would be a covenant weapon that charges up an enemies shields until they reach the max (green overshield meter) and then explode because the shields cannot contain the energy. This would kill the enemy instantly and it would have a cool 'energy burst' effect similar to the one you see when kill someone with a headshot, except larger. It would have a limited range as to not make it unfair and would not have effect on an opponent without shields. Another thing to mention is that while you are charging up your enemy's shields, they could dodge behind something and they would still have their shields at that amount, which is to say that they would be charged higher than the normal shield amount. The amount of time it takes to charge the enemies shields to their max would be around 2.5 seconds if the enemy has the normal shield amount. You would know if you were being targeted by this weapon because your shield meter would start to rise. The crosshair for the gun would have a small side meter to indicate the amount of shields your target has. You would have to keep the crosshair on the target for it to work. So allies couldn't charge eachother up, the reticule has to be red to work. Thats it

its like a large force of win going through fusion, thus creating a chain reaction of a huge asplosion of win destroying any fail within its awesomeness.

You know the thread is going to get locked, but you post anyways....

Good Idea, but its a bad idea... :-0

Weapons suck. MC needs to be able to engage in hand to hand combat.

Ok soooo... why would the covenant bother making a weapon that uses the enemy's shields against them if there is only one human in existance that uses shield technology?

That would be like me designing a surface-to-George-Bush missile launcher and trying to get the army to fund mass production.
