After discussing with all my friends, everyone has liked the idea that Halo Reach should have a shot gun for the covenant. now you might be asking. how will the shotgun look like. well the shotgun should look like human shotgun, but more high tech. plus. the shotgun should shoot the same of pellets from the shotgun, but instead of the pellets, it shooting little needles. Little needles that when impacting on the persons body, it removes their shields, then the second blast kills them with the pink explosion.

Next he'll be saying that the humans need a sword, but instead of the sword it will be a nightstick

Always up for REACH customs!

Halo needs more weapon variety, not multiple tools to fill the same role. No.

Quantity != Quality.


343 should focus and actually trying to improve some weapons in the respective niches instead of making 3 carbon copies and slap new colors on it.

More for the sake of having more is utterly retarded.

I think before Halo CE they were debating on using a human sword, but decide the shotgun was good enough.

Boltshot = mini shotgun

Like the mauler?
Maybe.

the covy gots a sword and humans got the shotgun. If its human shotgun vs. covy shotgun, what would the humans have to retaliate against energy swords?

Yes, there are covenant versions of many of the human weapons, but not shotgun. Also, how about a human sword-type weapon?

  • 03.26.2012 7:14 PM PDT

I'd imagine a Covenant shotgun not shooting needles but rather fire a large expanding but quickly dissapating bolt of plasma, sort of like a directional plasma grenade explosion.

The [Covenant] shotgun should shoot the same of pellets from the shotgun, but instead of the pellets, it shooting little needles.

Maybe my memory is failing me, but I don't remember it having the same strength as the shotty. I remember having to shoot and bash every time.

Weapons should have different strenghts. The full auto guns in the game have it wrong. Except spiker.

yes to that gun.

Bring back the mauler and for the swords its simple a katana not as armor but as the human sword and the way you carry it is like how you did in halo 3 but it requires 2 slashes but its a bit faster the blade dulls then breaks and can block to

  • 03.26.2012 10:30 PM PDT

NO!

  • 03.26.2012 11:32 PM PDT

Industrial Strength , No Brain Required.

No they have the Sword and Gravity Hammer.

But the Mauler is a good idea, do you remember Halo 2 brutes sometimes used the human shotgun ? The Mauler perfectly fits brutes only.

Increase the spread, decrease the amount of Needles, and make it bolt action (~0.75 second "load" time) and it would work.
