As the title suggested, I would like to see the ability to tune each weapon when creating each gametype. With the introduction of the ability to change said tuning on the fly (PAX East Halo 4 Panel, look it up on YouTube), would this not also be possible? It would allow for far more creativity when making gametypes and maps and would be a great tool in general.
Discuss below (to keep topic alive so others may see)
Bump.
I’d rather have all the options they already removed rather than new options, but I guess I’d take 'em.
What options did they remove? Just curious as I have kind of been avoiding Halo while 343 works things out and TU/Castle/Forge Island are released.

Last bump for the night, hope you guys manage to keep it alive. Good night everyone.
Apologies to the moderators, I don’t frequent these forums so I am not familiar with the rules. I will avoid doing so next time.
Anyways to elaborate on this, in the PAX East panel they demonstrated how they now have the ability to adjust weapon performance, otherwise known as weapon tuning. This means that they can make the Binary Rifle do no damage or the plasma pistol be a one-hit-kill. While they obviously will not be doing that, the point remains that with this new ability there is opportunity for creativity. By being able to create custom weapon tuning on a per gametype basis, you can create far more gametypes, as you are no longer limited to the default weapon damage/reload speed/fire rate/etc.
For example, one could make a gametype called, say “Plasma Rules” and make all plasma based weapons (Plasma Pistol, Covenant Carbine, Storm Rifle) stronger and all other weapons weaker, to accommodate the gametype.
Of course, these are just my thoughts on why I would like to see this feature/functionality added, so feel free to add your own opinion!
3 shot magnum gametypes, Infection gametypes that include fast killing ARs but Snipers that still require headshots to instant kill, competitive sandbox tweaking, What’s not to like?

Not sure if your being sarcastic or not, but some people would view them as good things and some bad. The point being is these are custom gametypes, meaning you wouldn’t have to play it if you think it’s bad.
Only if there’s a way to alter the Beam Rifle so we can have something that acts like a Sentinel beam again. 343 completely destroyed the Golden Tripod of B.U.N.G.L.E.

That would be out of scope for this, as you would only be able to make it fully automatic and longer before the weapon overheats, if I understand correctly of course.
I was thinking the same idea myself. In fact, when they were showing it, I thought at first they were showing new editing options for gametypes until they dropped the bomb that it was just an update to their system to make weapon tuning easier.
If they can do it, let us do it too. I’m all for customization.
YES! YES! YES!!!
It keeps getting annoying when I’m in a customs match and the other team is whining that they can’t use the DMR, but now I can nerf the DMR myself!!! alhengoaewjh bmglawnb

We can do it, I believe!
Accidentalyy clicked no but YES!!!
I think this would be a great idea. I kinda doubt they’ll do it, though.

With the announcement of Forge Island, I think we have a better chance of them to at least consider it, so it’s worth a shot.
This would equal so much win! YES!YES!YES!
Not to kill everyone’s hopes and dreams but this is most likely not gonna happen.
I would like to be able to tweak individual weapons ingame, but it is highly doubtful that 343 would give us the options, honestly.
