In Halo 3, what would you think about having guns with different firing modes, like an AR with auto, burst, and single shot, or like an underslung grenade launcher, or being able to throw a flash bang grenade like they did in the Halo 2 trailer...

Any thoughts?

Alternate firing modes sound good, but would it work out? not likely.

Having alternate firing modes just creates more reasons for ppl to say the weapons are unbalanced.

Yeah... good point, but 007 From Russia With Love had special ammo that did more damage, and that game, in my opinion was a really fun game... (especially the traps)

Just so you know, people have been banned for editing quotes like that. So you might want to knock it off... now.

I dont think that this would work because what button would they use??? or how would they control this feature? Its a great idea but i dont think that it will work.

The original Perfect Dark for N64 also had a second firing mode for all weapons. That game worked out well, but then again, Perfect Dark isn't Halo.

Holding a button instead of tapping a button.

In FRWL, you would equip the different types of ammo by hitting the BACK button and choosing which one you want...

Also... Black had different firing modes for the rifle... and that was a cool game too

The AR is modified in this one so it isnt the same as the one in the first game.

i dont think it would fit, it would change the gameplay style, and most games use it as a cheap gimmick, i love always having left trigger for grenades

No thanks it wouldnt work. The only secondary fire that is justified is the plasma overcharge, but remember the halo1 plasma pistol??? Not only could it fire faster than the plasma rifle (and do the same damage) but it could overcharge as well.

i was reading about it on wikepedia and it could work because you never use the the white button in multiplayer in halo 2.

Thats a good point... to talk, instead of white, you could use the D-Pad to talk and white would switch... good point Greg

Halo 3: Collapse
Chapter 20, Revelations, is up (update 11-14-10)

Maybe if you hit the 'back' button it could swap firing mode, but only on a few weapons.

Secondary fire would be pretty cool, except that it would mess up the control scheme. One of the reasons why the halo games are good is that they have a straightforward, intuitive control scheme. It isnt cluttered like games that have secondary fire modes.
