okay for each team there will be 2 portable turrets (or 1 on small maps) you can pick up the turret and run around with, to set it up press the fire button (u cannot throws grenades while holding it), it takes 5-7 seconds to set it up and it makes u go slower, oh yeah it takes one weapon slot.
so wat do u guys thinks?

I don't think it should take up a weapon slot rather it should be like a flag, or oddball.

Yeah the human one thats in Halo 2's campain and the grunt plasma turret that you see some spec ops grunts carry in Halo 2's campain would be cool in Halo 3 multiplayer.

It should take up both slots. It's a big turret, not a rifle. And carrying ammo for it would take up space too. So it'd be a very powerful weapon, but with some hefty limitations as well.

no, no, no. Here's how I think it should work:

1. you can't fire the turret until you put it down
2. once it's down you don't have to pick it up again, other people can use it
3. It should not take up any additional weapon spaces
4. You can set it down in most places provided that it will fit
5. It should basically be exactly like the existing turrets except you can pick it up and put it in different places but you can't attack while transporting it and you can't move when firing it.

The only map where I could imagine this being cheap would be Elongation due to its long hallways, but on big maps like waterworks or containment it would work well to defend a base.

Why not make it so that you can shoot it when you carry it.

ok I like the fifty caliber idea but if it slows you down, and this is the future, why not have a 57 caliber or more! Its several hundred years in the future so why not!

I think u should be able to do this. It should notonly take one gun slot u idiots who says it should take away both are dumb because u can carry it you dont put it nowhere but in ur hands so y would that take away the weapon slot. And also it should make u slower and less agile. Great idea. I mean y should Johnson be able to carry one but not master chief. (rasists) JK

I think it should be like this. Okay, you start the game, and the unmounted, folded machine gun/ plasma cannon, will be propped up against a wall close by, and when someone runs over it, they pick it up, carrying it under their arm, so you cant shoot it, y'know make it like the flag or oddball. And it shouls take like, 3 or 5 seconds to setup, and once setup, you need to fold it back up if you want to move it some place else.

I would love to see this as a new heavy weapon.

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

If you mean portable as in a Shade, like Halo 1, then sure. That's all.

ODST for life

ya, it would be to unbalanced if it was a weapon slot, it would need to be like a flag or ball type deal as somone said above, i think u should be slow to, such as some gametypes are with the flag and such. cause i mean, even mc cant carry a giant 50 cal. turret on hes back and still go as fast as he usally can.
