Controversial Request: Grappleshot in H:R and H4 Please

Ok so before anyone bites my head off for even considering this hear me out: The only good thing in Infinite imo is the grappleshot, and it’s a pickup item, well let me just get this out of the way first:

343, please add the Grappleshot to Halo Reach and Halo 4in MCC as an armor ability only obtainable via Forge and Custom Games please, I would actually like to be able to enjoy this ability on more stable Halo titles than Infinite.

Ok now that the request is out the way let me explain, we all find a unique use for the AA’s of Reach and 4 in customs correct? Heck even Armor Lock managed to make a fan favorite game type in armor walkers. So my thought process is this: Halo Reach Forge World custom games, but you’re spider-man. C’mon the grappleshot is honestly a perfect game changing addition to Reach and 4 heck maybe even throw it into Halo 3 Forge and Customs if possible.

Keep in mind this ability would NOT be accessable in matchmaking unless there was a gametype selected that had you spawn with the Grappleshot.

And maybe for Halo 4 make the grappleshot unlockable like through a specific un-timed challenge? So we can use it in Forge and Custom Games but if we want it in our loadouts we have to unlock it.

I just think the Grappleshot itself could really bring Reach and 4 into a new Era of custom games and possibly even make some all new fan favorite game types. Keep in mind that Armor Walkers is a game type that is a fan favorite despite literally 99% of the Halo fanbase, myself included, HATE armor lock. The grappleshot should at least get some people excited.

Probably something that modders can take care of instead of the developers.

Yeah as cool as the grappleshot is and as fun as it’d be supported on all maps in customs, it just being modded in makes a lot more sense than the devs going into decade old games and adding brand new content from the current title.

For customs sure why not… regular matchmaking absolutely not. The games should play as close to original as possible IMO.

Well that was what confused me when thinking about adding it to Halo 4, wouldn’t it be weird if it was the only ability not in personal loadouts? But then I thought there may be people who don’t like that.

Your comment makes no sense as that’s what 343 has been doing with MCC for the last 2 years.

An unlimited armor ability is in Infinites campaign so that’d be fine.

You do realize I’m asking for the Grappleshot to be added to Halo Reach’s and Halo 4’s Forge and Custom games right? I’m not asking for it to be in the campaigns.

I know, I just mistakenly thought you meant for the ability to be limited usage like in Infinites multiplayer.
But I was just stating there was an unlimited version in the campaign.

Well it should be limited use by default, but you can just switch to “unlimited ability usage” in custom games.

You think having only one of all of the armor abilities be limited use makes sense?

The hell are you on about? None of the abilites in Reach or 4 are unlimited use by default.

I’d be okay with having it added as an option in the sandbox but realistically there’s much more important things that need doing so this is probably best left to modders - and then maybe the mod can be officially implemented.

Should be pretty simple to guess that I was talking about the fact that abilities In Infinite can only be used a set amount of times. :man_shrugging:

I mean if 343 is gonna update us with new cosmetics and new forge pieces throughout 2022 why not throw the Grappleshot in while they do so? Besides I’d rather have it official than modded because modded means PC only

Nah in Reach and 4 the limited Grappleshot would just have a cool down like camo or jetpack, unlimited use would be Spider-Man mode.

Feels like time and effort that isn’t really warranted, molders can pretty much take care of that.

See here’s my question if 343 is updating the game through 2022 why isn’t it warranted? Stop unloading everything onto modders, besides that would lock it to PC players only, having it as an official feature would make it available to everyone.

It’s a gameplay gimmick that would take alot of time to implement, as it could drastically change the sandbox, either way I’d rather them focus on better content like adding in ODST flood firefight, more HO maps, all of the Halo games in CGB, more armor customization, and more graphical and gameplay fixes.

Just because the grappleshot is fun to use in Infinite doesn’t mean every Halo game needs it.

I mean, you could say that about every feature in Halo. We’re getting a YEAR of updates for MCC so probably between 4-6 more updates total, possibly more if 343 decides it’s more worth investing in MCC than Infinite, which at this point Infinite is sinking like the Titanic.

Also I’m not saying those other features should come or even be prioritized, I’m just saying the Grappleshot could make these games more unique and offer something the original versions didn’t.
