Allegedly, the classic Beam Rifle has been revealed and this makes me wonder: Why does 343 insist of bring backing old weapons? First of all, I love the classic beam rifle design, I have no problems with it and I know it’s for nostalgia reasons. However, what is the point of introducing their version of the beam rifle if they’re just going to bring back the old version? This applies to most of the classic weapons we have now excluding the CE pistol and Halo 2 Battle rifle as they play differently enough from their base versions. 343 adds these classic weapons to appease the fans but, if they wanted to make the community happy they should have used the old artistic designs or tried to mix their versions with the old for a taste of old and new. I prefer the old design of most of the weapons but, that doesn’t mean 343’s are bad. No, I think they should try to put their own flair but, also keep some reminiscent of the originals as a sign of respect. Halo Wars 2, from what I have seen, seems to have the old design of the older Halo games. Most people prefer the old design. Let’s hope 343 uses the the old design and tries to fit their artistic vision into the game as well. Bringing back classic weapons only causes the weapon sandbox to over saturated with clones of one another. Instead, for Halo 6, bring back the old and new designs to avoid having twice the number guns but, carbon copies.

Because 80% of the time people complain up and down the street for these weapons.
People have been asking for the Halo 3 AR, Halo Reach DMR, Halo CE AR, Brute Shot, Mauler, Spiker, and the Elite Plasma Rifle. And that’s just for weapons.

That’s because many of us long time Halo players prefer the classic art style. Personally I think 343 has changed the art style of Halo way too much. When I think which 343’s designs would “blend in” in Bungie’s Halos, honestly there’s not much I can think of.

Preach brother, preach.
In my opinion, the new Beam Rifle is a thousand times beaultiful than the classic, polygonic, weird Beam Rifle

Because it’s cool and it presents options? Why not?
Nostalgia sells.
People, I know 343 adds the weapons for nostalgia reasons but, if they’re going through the trouble to bring back the old weapons, they should know that people prefer the old art style and use that for Halo 6.

They also heard back in Halo 4 that there was a movement for classic solid black undersuits independent of primary color (even tweeting about it) but look what happened in Halo 5. <_<
I would love a less vibrant, slightly simpler art style, but 343 wouldn’t.
I just don’t understand why they bring back the old Beam Rifle of all weapons. After all, how different can it really be from the current one in terms of behaviour? Plus, unlike the SPNKR Rocket Launcher, I’ve never seen massive outcry from the fans disliking the new design (because it does stick pretty closely to the old one’s design in many ways).
Why not bring back more unique weapons? The Focus Rifle, Grenade Launcher, Plasma Launcher, Concussion Rifle and Brute Shot are just a few weapons that could use a comeback over the Beam Rifle.

I have to agree. Why not bring back weapons that don’t have a ‘new’ version in Halo 5? Or here’s a crazy idea. Maybe a completely new weapon? I wish 343 would be creative for once.

Exactly. Honestly how could they make it play differently? I would have rather seen a brute shot or sticky detonator or something…
I’m all for new weapons for the sandbox such as the brute shot or sticky detonator. My issue is 343 making copies of weapons already in the game and choosing the almost absurd decisions like choosing the beam rifle of all things.
