343 should bring back the carbine, it is so much better than the needle rifle and can equally go up against the DMR, also i just miss it. the cool green burst of beamy green stuff in a straight line hitting your foe bang on in the face. aww
Yes please!!!
I hate the needle rifle. As a replacement for the Carbine, it’s crap. It doesn’t even look cool.
Seriously it doesn’t look “cool”. The Carbine along with everything in H3 looked like plastic toys. At least Reach dug further into details and made everything look more realistic.

Yeah I felt like a plastic action figure when playing that game.
I know the carbine shoud get brought back and the beam rifle should come back and replace that piece of crap thing called the focus rifle (can you even really call it a sniper rifle?)

…Really?
I’m talking about models, not textures. The Needle Rifle looks plain out dumb.

tbh if I wanted realism I would go outside
and bring back the beam rifle while they’re at it =)
Absolutely agree!! They MUST bring back the carbine. It kicks the Needle Rifles -Yoink- anyday.
Also 343i, dont forget about the Battle Rifle (ditch the DMR), Beam Rifle (forget about the focus rifle), SMG, and the flamethrower!! (Those incineration medals looked sick!)
hmm…yeah. why not both? I mean, mechanics wise, at least the Needle rifle is more than a single burst BR, and as far as looks and design, the carbine isn’t all that different from the NR…their both purple rifles…except one has cool looking spikes comin out the top and makes you explode. also, I don’t think the Focus Rifle so much “replaced” the beam rifle, so much as the beam rifle was just a repetition of the sniper, the only difference was you could easily shoot twice in succession with the beam rifle to get a kill, while the focus rifle was not so useful…
that said, if all the halo 3 weapons and reach weapons are back in 4, I hope 343i can find a way to make the Covenant weapons more unique and less like reskined varients of their UNSC counterparts…
Why not just include every weapon in Halo 4?
> Why not just include every weapon in Halo 4?
Haha…that would be chaos.
It may be just me, but I dont like a lot of Halo Reach weapons and I feel a lot of them are useless/annoying if anything.
Grenade Launcher
Plasma Launcher
Plasma Repeater
Focus Rifle
Those 4 weapons especially… I cant come up with a logical reason as to why Bungie had to add them to the fray. Other than to add something different I guess?

It would be awesome though. Get rid of everything on your list except the Grenade Launcher. It can stay.

The Plasma Launcher and Grenade Launcher should stay. They are useful in some situations, but not that much in others.

you kidden? Grenade Launcher is OP, it serves as a remote grenade that also releases a large EMP, it’s like a power drain fused to a remote grenade, and it gets ammo! it’s way OP, and awesome. what kind of future doesn’t have something as simple minded as a grenade launcher? it’s shamful it took until reach for us to get to us one. The Plasma Launcher is unique, and hard to dodge if your in a vehicle without a rock to hide behind. I found the Plasma Launcher is a great anti-falcon weapon.
Focus Rifle could be modified to be more useful. increased damage alone would make it much better, but you could make it like a long range needler, homing onto the first thing the beam makes contact with, but that could also be more of a Teslacoil lightning weapon instead. as for the Plasma Repeater, it’s a duel wield weapon that shouldn’t have been in reach as a single hand weapon. it should have come in pairs, just like the SMG.(well, maybe not “come in pairs”, but could be used in pairs, making it a sub power weapon when duel wielded)

So is just about every single weapon in the Halo Universe including vehicles. I guess that’s why there is a toy franchise for Halo eh? The obvious is so obvious.
I never want to see the sad excuse of a weapon known as the “Covenant Carbine” again. It was one of the worst weapons in the Halo franchise. Its reticle was massive, its shots fired OUTSIDE the reticle, and, despite its extremely fast rate of fire, it was so incredibly inaccurate that you could NEVER depend on it in a duel.
The Needle Rifle is everything the Carbine tried to be, but completely failed at. I honestly hope it never makes a return and I welcome the Needle Rifle, as well as hope to continue to see it.
Also the reload melee thing that made candy pop out c:
carbine and needle rifle are pointless weapons. br>carbine. dmr>needle rifle. sniper>beamrifle. It’d be neat to see the utility weapon in the next game be forerunner or covenant, but it wouldn’t matter anyway as long as it functioned the same. At the momment needle rifle and carbine etc. are just crappy clones of the br and dmr that do the same thing better. (kill wise, not looks)
Yeah get ride of everything new and bring back everything old! yeah! no more originality! yeah! just copy and paste everything in halo 3! yeah!
no…
