well this weapon should go in good i hope.Its like the BR has the scope and every thing but you could switch it to single shot to auto or burst witch ever u bungie guys thinks more marksmen like.Just with the push of a button.If u put it in you should (when they press the button to switch it from single to burst\auto) they should see the gun click up any way u want it to look like on there screen.It should hold about 60 rounds just in case they put auto.U u could put the damage measuer to anything u want, i dont care how much damage or how less as long as it gets in, If it does'nt...it was worth a try design should look coll to! :)

Wow...just wow. Have you ever tried Hooked On Phonics? I heard it works for children under 10. But to the gun...why would you ever want to switch to single shot if you could fire on automatic? Everybody else is running around pumping you full of rounds while you're trying to be the "1337 $n1P3R OMG!" just cause you fire one shot at a time. As for what happens when you push the button...i have no idea what you were trying to say.

Single shot has its advantages. Its usually more accurate and it conserves ammo. You will be reloading much more on automatic fire too.

Okay you guys have gotten it all wrong, the perfect gun would be a long range shotgun/scoped bowcaster/ flak cannon doohickey, with a cupholder for my big gulp, and instead of shooting bullets, it would shoot syringes filled with venom from an Iraqi spider

yup i wanted that too...one because burst fire is only for night missions when you can't aim well. My friend went through basic training in the US Army and thats what he learned. Second, i read ON THE BUNGIE WEBSITE, before halo 2 came out, that you would be able to switch from burst to single shot.....wich is wrong....agian....

I am...whimsical today.

My dream gun would kill everyone around with one shot, but that wouldn't really make for an an enjoyable game :)

  • 07.06.2006 2:50 PM PDT

I put on pants for this?

my dream gun is one that shoots stuff that really hurts you like forks or spoons and the ever dangerous spork!:P

seriously i dont care what your dream gun is.

Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

my dream rifle is simple. rate of fire and strength similar to that of the halo AR. 2xscope that fires a single shot as powerfull as the halo pistol. since it's a rifle the power makes sense. i think the burst is pretty usless to be completely honest.

exactly, and people can't whine about balance because todays m16's do that already.

Real life has nothing to do with balance in a video game. I do hope they concoct some short-mid range weapon that actually gives you a chance to defend yourself, unlike the single pop corn popper.

I think what the game really needs is another anti-vehicle weapon. Not like a rocket launcher, but a weapon that pierces the armor and attacks the operator.

The magnum needs to be fixed, and it's really easy to do:

1. Make it have a 12 shot clip.
2. Make it take 7 headshots to kill.
3. Give it a 2x scope, with less accuracy at range than the BR.
4. Disable the scope when dual weilded, and greatly decrease accuracy at range when dual weilded.
5. Give it a slower rate of fire than the CE pistol.

The plasma pistol needs to get fixed also, again, easy fix.

1. Reduce the tracking 50-75%
2. Increase the speed of the travelling bolt 50%
3. Make the regular shots useful
4. Disable weapon switching during the burning hands animation

i somewhat agree with your idea in regards to the PP, but you thoughts on the pistol make it one step above useless, just below the needler in practicality. and i wasn't citing the m16 to prove realism or anything, i'm just stating if weapons have these capabilities now why not hundreds of years in the future.

I had a dream gun once. But some evil computer nerds came and stole it from me and replaced it with a pop-gun.

I think a MAC/Sniper rifle hybrid would be great... taking out enemies through walls and stuff.

a portable rail gun, mwa ha ha ha ha ha
or a gun that fires like an assault rifle when zoomed out but can zoom in2x and shoot 3 shot bursts.
but seriously arail gun would be good for taking out vehicles, it would be about the same size as the RL but only hold one round and take a long time to reload.
