While a brand new weapons palette is not out of the question, there’s is a way to incorpate the Covenant sandbox in without breaking the “no purple” rule.
Forerunner weapons. It’s not the hardest thing in the world to imagine that gunblade from Legends being a replacement for the Energy Sword, no?
This would allow 343i to have the old weapons in, but an excuse to tweak or build upon at lesiure.
You know it makes sense.
Well, I dunno if they will be a lot of Covernant-Weapons. But if they are not enaugh (or even none, what would be kinda sucky) they should be some at least in Halo 5 or 6.
But for Halo 4 I wouldn´t be to dissapointed if they make a “break” with Covernant Weapons. If there would be some in Halo 5 again, its alright.
Same with space combat. Halo Reach-Space Combat Mission is one of my favorite parts; it lags in sandbox, but it’s still awesome. But in Halo 4 we don´t need Space Combat (yet).
They can re-put the space combat and the covernant-weapons-sandbox in Halo 5 or 6. But it´s not a Must-Have for Halo 4, in my opinion. Also: Space Combat needs a bit more of the sandbox-feeling; there are ways to do it! Hope we will see both in Halo 5 or 6 again… if not in Halo 4.

I’d prefer they make completely new weapons, rather than copy-paste the Old Weapons with new skins.
That’s just pure acedia.
