Which Halo game do you believe has the best weapon sandbox? Take into account variety, balance and generally how cool the weapons are. Remember Halo 4 has added a whole new category of weapons.

Easily Halo 2. Not only did they have great weapons, but you could dual wield. Unfortunately, they made the horrible decision to take that out in Halo Reach, ODST, and 4.

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

CE, each weapon had a purpose, and wasn't just a reskinned copy of another weapon.

Your 'beliefs' mean less than dick to me.

CE. Only thing I'd add to it is a grenade launcher.

Why is Halol 4 in the poll?

OT: Halo 2 because dual-wielding Needlers

  • 12.08.2012 2:08 PM PDT

Halo 3, for sure. 4 grenade types, almost all of the weapons from the last two games, dual-wielding and equipment.

Halo 2 was the best Halo game
A7x FoREVer!

Halo Ce: Not enough variety, I used the pistol, sniper, or rockets 95% of the time.

Halo 2: Good blend of human and Covenant weapons

Halo 3: too many unused items (grenades, flame thrower, rocket pod, spikers, smgs, etc...)

Halo Reach: Good blend of weapons, but lacked dual-wielding.

Halo 4: To many unbalanced weapons. The DMR is the superior rifle, and the boltshot is a mini shotgun you can start with.

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

Everything was better in Halo 2.

This.
Each map became slightly more unique due to the weapons on it.

Well, I've been economical with the truth.

Not sure why people are say CE, as far as I'm concerned that game revolved around the pistol.

3 easily.

So many different toys to play with.

  • 12.08.2012 2:20 PM PDT

I'd say Reach is the most balanced and Halo 4 is the coolest.

  • 12.08.2012 2:20 PM PDT

Bones of my enemies.

I know the DMR is overpowered, but Halo 4's sandbox is OVERALL more balanced than the others.

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

Halo CE was really only Pistol, Rockets,'the ocasional FRG or Sniper. Anything else like the flamethrower or shotgun was pretty much screwin around. Still, the CE pistol is as satisfying to use as the Halo 4 DMR due to its range, power and accuracy. I might hop back onto a CE server if I can find an unmodded one that isn't freaking Blood Gulch.

I didn't actually play Halo 2...

Halo 3's only truely UP weapon was the AR. Duel wielded stuff and non instant kill pick ups (brute shot, shotgun at 2sk range) weapons out damaged the BR at close range. It's weapon variety also complimented the custom games suite.

Reach had a pretty good sandbox since most stuff was actually useful, and like Halo 3, the pickup weapons out damaged the DMR at close range, so there was room for variety. Grenade Launcher is still missed as the corner shooting angel.

Halo 4, besides the DMR, LR, and buffed Needler, kind of took a step back in terms of satisfying weaponry. The Sniper and Beam Rifles are complete combat rifles now since they can't be unscoped. It feels cheap using them when under fire, even though I just got body shots in the past Halo games. The Sticky Launcher isn't as fun as the Grenade Launcher since there's no learning curve with it and the grenades can't bounce. Stickies are no longer as satisfying to gib vehicles with since they're weaker and can be spawned with.

So, probably Halo 3. Even TU DMR bloom on Reach feels awkward once mastered since there's a hesitation between shots. Reach's slower movement and lower jumps also made the weapons harder to avoid and less fun. The BR was rarely used in custom games, too, so its awful spread didn't need to be worried about most of the time I played Halo 3.

Halo 3 is where the morons of the universe congregates.

I am thinking of an old story. "Three Billy Goats Gruff" (hint the troll dies at the end)
