I've been an advocate of introducing a human version of the M-16 in Halo with duel-mode between machine gun and grenade launcher to complement the new AR. This would be a sweet weapon, allowing you to shoot nades much farther and faster then you can throw them.

I've just realized that it would be even sweeter if Bungie updated the carbine or introduce a new Cov. weapon that's equivalent to the M-16 (shoots green bullets at full-auto), and would have a PLASMA GRENADE LAUNCHER. Just imagine shooting and sticking someone with a plasma grenade over large distances. You could only carry 4 of each type of nade, but now you have a completely new way of using them.

If bungie doesn't want to introduce new machine guns, then the new AR/BR could have a tri-mode (Semi, Full and Launcher, and the same goes for the Carbine), although switching betwee three modes would be extremely annoying.

In Summary:

1. I think Bungie should Duel-mode several of the weapons (the new AR, the Needler (add a shotgun like mode, which releases many needles all at once), Carbine, Plasma Rifle, etc.)

2. I think Bungie should add grenade launchers to the assualt weapons (AR, carbine, maybe even the Plasma Rifle).

It all sounds good and all... But one thing....

You should call RARE and tell them to impliment this into there next Perfect Dark game cause it has no place in the world of halo...

No doubt if this device was ever implemented, it would clog up message boards from one end of the internet to the other of whiners complaining "it's not balanced" and it's "unfair" and it's "too powerful".

I feel there should be a launcher attachment for the Carbine and the Battle Rifle. Battle Rifle should have a fragmentation grenade launcher, and the Carbine a launcher strictly designated for anti-vehicular purposes.

I will pray hard for your soul for many many years to come little boy, may God have mercy on your ass for brains soul

why would they make an M16 550 some years after it was introduced in vietnam, why in all Hell would they use a gun model half that is a millenium year old, against an enemy who is more technologically advanced than we can even begin to fathom, think before you seek

The only possible way this could be balanced is by only allowing the attachment onto large maps, because if it shoots farther, then it has a smaller arc, which means a straighter shot. So if used in enclosed and smaller maps, it would be like shooting it at the enemy rather than it being thrown.

I believe a weapon should be released which is somewhere in the middle of the assault rifle and battle rifle. The power should be somewhere in between both weapons, and a scope used ( like on the battle rifle). I think a good idea would be the ability to swap between burst fire ( three rounds discharged with one pull of the right trigger) and full automatic ( like the assault rifle). Finally, i think there should be 40 rounds in each magazine, making for a more realistic weapon.
