Anybody who is any sort of respectable halo player will all want the BR to be in H3. It is the most well rounded weapon. I would take the BR over any weapon in the game. Oh, and get rid of the combo. It's -blam!-.

Combo is fair game, stop using it as an excuse for you losing. Besides, im mad 1337 with the Sniper.

now i know im a respectable gamer and i know that the BR is cool and all but its also the cheapest gun ive ever seen. i can see keeping them in just not on levels like warlock and foundation. its really annoying to be sitting there and all of the sudden a BR shot hits your face and by then they have already shot off all shots. if you are a really respectable player you should agree with me that the old assult rifle RULED and we're all glad its back and that they should raise the damage of the pistols again. not to the halo 1 strength but to the original halo 2 strength.

In a nutshell here's what I want.
1.balanced DW'ing-raise pistols back up

2. Stronger guns- Am I the only one who hates having to literall chase opponents around the map, even when you have a BR? Why give us guns if they take forever to kill anyone and yuo have to be within spitting distance to hurt people. H2's nerfed guns is why the h2 shotgun sucks and why they couldnt' port heh.

3.Make the BR the h1 pistol equivelant it was designed to be!

4. Smaller maps! Some big maps are cool, but if it's going to be big, I'd at least like it to be wide open, maps like waterworks end up becoming a big rush to one area, kinda a waste of space. When I think of the best h2 maps I think lockout, midship and Ivory tower, not waterworks, coag and relic, anyone with me?

I agree. But with some maps it is just plain fun to have some sort of a d-day style map and haev like bunkers and a sweet CTF map. The BR is okay if you know how to use it. I agree with everyone that the magnum needs to be stronger (heck, everything needs to be stronger) and that we should bring back that sweet old 2X magnification that everyone loved. Newer vehicules too! Banshees and ghosts are great, but we need that super cool human fighter or that human motorcycle with twin machine guns. That would be sweet huh.

By the way T3mpest, not everyone loves small maps. Hey all the ones that you said sucked were my favourite ones! Well, just goes to show you that everyone has their own opinion.

Your thoughts, please.

I don't see how any of the poll options listed are "new" weapons - you're talking about upgrades to existing weapon types.



Aside from that - right now the Battle Rifle seems to be right between an MP-5 and an M-16. It's not quite as large as the M-16, but it seems to have more power and range than the MP-5. And considering the MP-5 is what I see the Navy SEALS with most frequently, I'd say Bungie did a pretty good job of estimating a futuristic standard-issue weapon.


Also, pistols should be basically useless inmultiplayer. Seriously, we're dealing with incredibly advanced body armor - the pistol should be doing virtually zero damage unless you shoot someone right in the face with it. And even then it should take a few shots to get through.

They need to make a new plasma weapon. The Carbine isnt that great....and they should make the plasma rifle like the one in Halo CE.That stun feature was amazing, my personal favourite gun in Halo CE.

raise pistols back up? I dont want the pistol to be as it was in Halo 1. I also dont want some lame ass assault rifle that is more spray and pray than skill. The BR is not perfect,, but it is way better than the assault rifle from H1. The pistol could be a little stronger, but not at the H1 lvl.

The one new weapons that would make me very very happy, would have to be a big ass Mini-gun. This is the one weapon that is missing, How could there not be a mini-gun in halo, just think about it; Picture this, Master chief walks through the dust on the trailer except instead of an AR picture a big futuristic Mini-gun. If that doesn't convince you that a mini-gun would be an awesome addition. Then Watch Terminator 2 again, the part where the Terminator is shooting up all the cop cars with a mini-gun. In conlusion The mini-gun is just a badass gun that would be great in halo, and would be my favorite weapon of all time besides the shotgun.

Some sort of plasma shotgun....where it would shoot a huge thing of plasma at them and either take down their shields all the way or kill them(possibly).

Another in the needler shotgun where it would shoot a wad of needes that would stick to them and blow up about 5-7 seconds later, but in the case of this weapon there would be a way to take the needles off.
