plasma pistol needs change, it's really the only weapon that threatens to break the balance.

By the way, PP had stun too. It was basically a PR but with an overcharge ability though lesser melee and less energy. Which is why it was a good start weapon, as you could kill a shotgun/AR/PR with it, if you were careful.

Also, halo 1 rockets are considerably faster than halo 2 ones, like a rocket should be.

All of your suggestions are necesities for the next game. Many of the great concepts concieved in halo 1 should return.

another thing i would like them to revert back to is that grenades actually did something to vehicles. in halo 2, a grenade does too little damage to vehicles. im not saying they have to bring back the flipping-through-air warthog, but a sticky on the warthog takes off like half of the shield or something...

Actually I would change nothing up there, I would change other weapons. As somebody already stated, the shotgun needs to be tuned back up to the way it was in Halo 1. The Rocket Launcher needs to be more powerful and I don't know if you guys remember this but, remember in Halo 1, with the rocket launcher the force of the impact would force the player to move a few feet: well I definitly thought that was a nice little effect that they should bring back.

And the sniper rifle, with its night vision (plus thermal sighting would be kick butt too, but not just in the sniper rifle...imagine if you had standard night and thermal vision in the visor, that would be so kick but for dark levels.) and elevation and distance information.

One game I'm not joking a little like 7 year old said and I quote " tell me what your dick looks like so I can imagine it in my head and beat off to it"

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


Amazing!

Actually the Plasma Pistol on Halo 1 homed more, but whatever.

You need to revisit halo 1, and then use the halo 2 PP again

Edit: or watch this, ignore the central msg of the vid if you dont agree with it

Plasma pistol because the one in Halo 2 was an insult to the first plasma pistol, I was very disappointed with it. I also want my best friend shottie back!!!

do you remember bungie said they might make you be able to put your gun away and run faster. that would have been cool... but i dont think you run slower with bigger guns than smaller guns.

but also allowing you to have no guns would be good for the sticky only gametypes

i remember a rumor from pre-release of the game that said you could record gameplay onto the harddrive. although that was nearly impossible on xbox1, maybe they can pull it off with the 360. that would be pretty badass. especially if people could download it from your 360.

Plasma pistol is fine, without the homing, it would be even more useless. Plasma rifle cuts down shields and life at a steady pace, it doesn't need to be able to stun. Pistol, with a scope brought back on would ruin dual-wielding. Rockets do not need more power. I want the original MA5B back on Halo 3 though. I know, the trailer. I just hope that it still works and fires generally the same as the original.

A gun in a FPS game that has a gun that is simply unavoidable in many(if not most) situations is just bad.

No one was talking about completly removing the PP's homing, just returning it to halo 1s homing.

Grunts are cool...

Although I think the homing of halo 2's PP is quite large...ut shouldnt be completely reverted to halo 1's homing capability.


Furthermore, I think grenades need to do more damage...if not to people, then to vehicles.

i voted for plasma pistol, but only because shotgun wasnt listed. I like the Halo 1 shotgun better because it has more of a range

they should put a whole lot of weapons in the game, and make some of them not playable in some games. but have them just in case they find a good use for them. like maybe bring back the stunning plasma rifle but make it into a two handed gun (make it larger). make another rifle that has 12 shots in a clip; shoots one bullet at a time; scopes in once. maybe is powerful enough to kill in 3 shots. sound familiar? maybe slow down the shot to make it balanced.

before the patch, you could jump in the air and melee with the rocket for a one hit kill. i liked that alot... why did they take that off.
