Okay, If youre wondering what this topic is about, it's about customizable weapons.

I recently was in a discussion a few days ago, and we came up with a few good points for the topic in general. I have collected these points and am going to present them in a clear way.

The essential argument was that it takes away from what makes Halo, Halo
Customizable weapons would be to Ghost Recon or Ratchet Deadlocked, I dont know.

And trust me, if there is any person in these forums who is against arguments that make Halo un Haloish, its me. But I came to a good understanding of this, but I am still in the middle, I neither like it nor dislike it, but here is the summary.


-Weapons custimization - CAMPAIGN ONLY!
-If there was any in multiplayer it would simply be for the heck of making it look good, it would hae no effect on gameplay, whenever you would pick up a weapon, it would automatically look like the weapon you had designed. this idea is optional.

-On the matter of single player, it boils down to this, there would be several attachements that you could put on any weapon, you would unlock these as you progressed through the campaign. You would only be able to hold a few, and you would choose what weapons to put it on.

-It would be mathematically graphed, every attachement would have a different amount of time to put on different weapons. You could have as many as you want on a single weapon, this would take place whenever you picked up a weapon, this would be completely optional.
Such as pressing a button when you pick the weapon up.


This is essentially it.

Please do not flame, think before you post things, and dont randomly burst out ideas,

If you do not read this and start to be an idiot, anyone who has read this post has my permission to beat the crap out of this person if at all possible, unless this person is a retard like Wuyie. That guy is a retard.

I wont be here for a few hours, so please keep the discussion alive untill i get back,

And if you say " what the crap man, this was an argument like 2 days ago."
its probably because i cant find it and just want to present the same thing so ist more findable.

Shouldn't this be in the Weapon Ideas Thread? Anyway, good job. It is difficult to find someone on these forums who puts effort into their posts.

I'm back, wow, kind of empty, yea youre right, but it seems more like a categorie of weapons rather thena weapon itself.

br carbine like the m4 carbine, a grenade launcher attached but not like the one from halo ce custom, sorry but that didnt look like something from america more like russia. but i mean like the grenadier rifle from the US millitary. some mission have a silencer on it and ajustable scopes like night vision scopes, red dot sights and so on.

big run on sentence no time to fix

that just gets rid of the fun of finding that good weapon. soon you will get bored of that stupid crap, this isnt area 51, its halo. and if you like area 51, i feel sorry for you.

Well actually, I dont think its correct in saying you agree with me, I dont comletely like the idea, I'm just presenting it for others to debate about, or just talk about, but we have no say in it.

Forums are designed to make time go by while waiting for the game,


But I had a couple of attachment ideas-

- Sniper attachment-
-takes 2.5 seconds to attach
-can only be used on a weapon that already has a scope
-increases the magnification of the weapon by 5
-looks kind of like an addition to the scope.
-would change the look depending on the weapon.


It could actually only be used on the Human Sniper, but whatever

If you didnt notice, it is all of the earth that is at stake, not just the United States.

jollygreen chief, trust me when I say I know what you mean, but I dont think area 51 is the right synonym, more like, splinter cell or whatever, but this would be completely optional, and would not be used on the good weapons like the rocket launcher,

Completely Optional
Single Player Only

I do not neccesarily like this idea, dont treat it like I do.

All I'm saying is, I think this Idea would be acceptable as long as it doesnt take away from the core of Halo's gameplay, I like night vision, but that should be automatic, like in Halo1.

i dont want to get frustrated waiting to unlock the parts for the weapons. thats not what halo is about. halo is more like a movie, not a pointless goal game. i hate mario, he's a jerk, jumping on peoples heads and such.

Thats not the point jolly green, this would be completely optional, I dont actually like the unlocking part, I think that you should be able to do this as easily as customizing your avatar, it would just be there, whenever you pick up the weapon you have to hit the black button or something, and it gives you like 5 seconds to do this.

And you and Mario work it out in Peaches castle
