The last with pagan blood.
IMMORTAL.

I have noticed lately that these forums are running out of good ideas regarding Halo 3. All I see are theories, theories, and more theories. I have also seen some gameplay ideas that are absolutely stupid.
I will list a few ideas and suggestions that make sense and don't take away from the simple gameplay that Halo has been known for. They are in no particular order:

-The AR and BR: There have been many debates about both of these rifles. My idea is to combine both of their abilities into one kickass all purpose rifle. It would be a bit more accurate than the SMG and have a slightly lower rate of fire and it will have the ability to zoom in and fire in bursts, just like the BR! Good in close quarters, good at a distance.

-The SMG: I noticed that in Halo and Halo 2, it would take the same amount of fire to take down a minor blue Elite. This is good, however, the SMG tends to have heavy recoil. So just remove the recoil.(MC can flip a tank yet ke cant keep a 5mm SMG steady)

-Dual wielding: Dual wielding should not be unbalanced as it is now. There should be an equal diffrence between those who dual wield and those who do not. My idea is this: When someone dual wields, the aiming reticule expands a bit. The person that does not want to dual wield has his weapon in the normal position and throw grenades. That way, a person who dual wields will have a devastating advantage up close, but will need to be careful of the person who is throwing grenades. Dual wielding should not be the whole purpose of the game. It always felt like I was carrying a half gun. Make every weapon have more Kick.

-Sword: Just remove the midair magical lunge and make it a one hit one kill weapon. The lunge should be only from the ground. Also make it limited like SP.

-Commands: Im kind of torn on this one. On one side I dont want to see Halo become a rainbow 6 wannabe, but then again I have a feeling that allies will do MANY, MANY stupid things. If they somehow implemented simple one button or two buttons on the d-pad, then there might be a possibility(or if MC wont shout or any thing). Take Half-Life 2 for example, the game isnt a squad based shooter, but it has the simplest command scheme ever. Just one button. One press makes the group stay in one place, a longer press makes the group follow(the best part is that the character does not say anything). This can also work if it was only implemented in vehicles. Or not.

-Plasma Pistol: Just increase the single shot damage and make it so that the charged shot will follow only if the reticule was aimed at a person.

-Magnum: Just give this gun a bit more kick, make stand a chance.

If anyone has better suggestions, post them or if they disagree also.
I will post more later. \oo/ >_< \oo/

good thinking! i like the plasma pistol idea, it would realy cut-off people from using the newbcombo as much.


and bungie realy realy needs to make the needler better, better heat-seaking, make it do alittle more damage, when you shoot the the needles at the ground they stay there and blow up in stead of disapering like in h2, and make the explosion bigger loud and stronger

i agree with the smg and plasma pistol. I never thought about the recoil, its kinda funny that chief can flip tanks but cant hold the smgs steady.

Energy isn't magical, its fundamental to the universe. But your right about it needing to be a one hit kill and needing to be limited. Its a one hit kill for the covies in campaign, why not for MP

I like the rifle idea. A weapon that can go full-auto or 3 round burst. It can zoom in so it's good at medium range and it's really good in close quarters combat. I love it. You should get a medal for posting this.

You can't change direction mid-air without an external force, like a jetpack. Nothing about the sword or it's lunge suggest anything but poorly thought out game mechanics.

Yes damn you Stickies -shakes fist-...Damn your trivial attempt at keeping this cesspool organized...why should anyone take the time to find the Halo 3 weapons post that has 6000 hits on it when they can just re-post it for the 10000000 time and have it locked within 15 minutes...you sir are an example for all future generations...allow me the honor of saluting you..-double kicks you btwn the legs-.....
The weapons thread is a major burnout.

Don't respond to Wuyie in kind. It only encourages him. Or her. Or both.

I forgot a major one.

-The rocket launcher: Instead of the tracking device. It should have guided rockets. If you pull the trigger, to rocket goes straight. If you, hold the trigger, the rocket can be guided. That will make for more exciting kills.
Vehicles should also get a warning beep that warns them of incoming rockets. Just for kicks.
