From a balance perspective, your ideas consistently seem to be well rationalized (even if I'm inclined to disagree with some of them, specifically the weapons you mentioned that don't exist as of yet),
Thanks.
but in the cases where you suggested that a weapon no longer be dual-wieldable in the name of balance, I immediately had to disagree.
Maybe I went a little overboard with the Brute Plasma Rifle, but the Magnum would have an excuse..
The reason is simple: I think it would be possible to 'repair' any imbalances in these weapons without compromising the logic by which they operate now; specifically, it doesn't really make sense for it to no longer be possible to dual wield a brute plasma rifle or a pistol, because they are small weapons that can be operated with a single hand.
Actually, it was the MAGNUM that isn't dual wieldable anymore..a manum is generally stronger than a pistol..I basically said the size of the slugs should be increased in the magnum.
The increased slug size would increase the amt. of recoil, making it a two handed weapon..also decreasing the clip size..and making it much more powerful than the magnum we have now.

ok some problems with your weapons is that you said to make the ma5b weaer, which it definitely doesn't need, considering that it wasnt very useeful in the first place. if anything they need to make it stronger.
Actually, if we have the BR, and Carbine..the AR will make the 3rd rifle..and an Assault Rifle has longer range than Dual SMGs.
the needler shotgun, while funny, sounds sort of gimmicky and unnecessary. a 5 headhsot kill with the br if no other changes such as rof were made (other than range) would make it underpowered.
It's actually a really fun weapon to use, and it looks amazing..
the no AA capability of the rockets is slightly worrying because as of right now only vehicles, hijacking, and rockets are balancing the banshees. in halo pc everyone whores them because there isnt much you could do. hell in halo pc people just run you over because there's no hijacking.
Actually, I said the only thing a rocket could lock onto would be the 'Shee (which has lost it's boost, but regained it's "Banshee Bomb"
And with the rocket's power "upped" slightly along with the speed, it would remain quite effective against vehicles (like it was in Halo) but still be just as effective agains infantry troops as it was in Halo 2 (longer reload time, slower melee, longer time to wait in between shots)

Cheehwawa there is only one thing i dont like...NO OTHER SPARTANS!!!...
Why not? Showing a few minor characters to help flesh out the whole story seems like a good idea..
I thought that all the spartans were dead?
Actually there's 9 that can be alive..wierd, eh? It's also wierd that Bungie had to cut off about two missions at the end of Halo 2 when MC reaches Earth due to time constraints ;)
