Equipment should've been weapons instead

Games Halo Infinite

The grapple shot could’ve just been a grapple gun

The repulsor could’ve been a repluslor gun.

The drop sheild could’ve also been a gun that shoots out “grenades” that turn into sheild walls

The electric ball could’ve been a gun.

Then finally the thruster pack could’ve been the one ablity that you always have.

Imagine using the thurster pack and a “grapple gun” at the same time?

See. If this game was focused on “fun” I would do things like that. Esspically in the custom game options. All of the Halo 5 ablities would come back and you would be able to mix and match any ability. Combinations like the spartan charge and the repulsor or the thruster and the grapple.

Found the Halo 5 fan

If I started with Halo 2 and played over 15 years of Halo.

And if I like all the Halos except Ifinite then how does me being a Halo 5 fan make sense?

I play Halo 2. I like Halo 2.

I play Halo 3. I like Halo 3.

I play Halo reach. I like Halo reach.

You get the picture here? I’ma Halo fan. Not a “Halo 5” fan.

But you know.

People don’t understand nuance these days

I don’t mind the whole going back to equal starts, and everyone fights over pickups again like the first 3. 5 had Thrusters default and Jetpack, so I suppose the Jetpack button could have been the equipment button, so you technically could use grapple and thrust. You would get some wild action in the air if you did a thrust midair while you holding on with the grapple to accelerate out of it. Hopefully they at least add this as a option for custom games. Would be pretty cool to grapple someone with a jetpack too.

Please don’t say Spartan charge… :face_vomiting:

How about Spartan Charge pickup and Armor Lock pickup, since you’d only get 3 uses?

Seriously though, call it equipment or a gun, I don’t really care. Hopefully 343 can add the ability to hold multiple equipment for customs.

You doing this on purpose?? :rage:

I feel like all previous game’s abilities would be fairly balanced due to having a limited usage amount, and the glowing hip indicator showing what someone is carrying. Hologram would also be nice to have back with 5 uses

I could see something like Spartan Charge or Ground Pound being added to the Thruster equipment we already have. Since right now that feels like by far the weakest, and least useful of the equipment. Especially compared to the Grapple.

But this idea of turning the equipment into guns is stupid. You only get two gun slots which feels restrictive as it is.

I would love for Thruster to work like Halo 5, with momentum, so if you Thrust, Charge, or Ground Pound, any of those wastes one of your ability charges. You only get 5 in BTB and 3 in 4v4 anyway. There’s no reason they need to be nerfed back to Halo 4 Thrusters. Grapple greatly beats Thrusters, since you can grapple vehicles, grapple any direction, get massive momentum, and grapple back smack. Thrusters need to get fixed. Campaign stole Thruster’s thunder when they added Grapple Pound and didn’t have Thruster Pound. It’s stupid to uncanon Halo 5 Thrusters.

Go play halo 5 again man. Infinite won’t miss you

It’s not that we necessarily miss older games, as fun as they were, it’s that 343 has a tendency to retcon previous games. I would also like dual wielding back, but I know that’s not going to happen. Ske7ch said they want to port everything from past titles to Infinite eventually, like with MCC, to really cement the Infinite name. I hold them to that.

Maybe they could add the campaign stun feature to it if they did that, but I’d rather have it stay as equipment or become an innate ability.

If they did that, they could add some damage to it or increase its effect.

Maybe it could work like the Jackal shields but have a weak gun attached to it.

What is that?

I guess, but I like moving with the Grappleshot more than the Thruster.

I don’t know how feasible it is, or if it’s been done before, but it would be fun if people could make playlists from custom games.
So, even if I’m not in a custom game I created, it would still let people choose to play it.

Because you like it more than Halo 2-4.
You’ve been a Halo fan since 2, but you’re a Halo 5 fan.

Maybe the Halo 3 EMP ball equipment? Not sure either. We have too many EMP items already, and the Plasma Pistol has no purpose anymore.

16

We already have Dynamo grenades, the Disruptor and the Shock Rifle, so if they mean the Power Drain, I think that would be sort of redundant.

Yeah, they should’ve tuned it to work like the Disruptor instead of removing its EMP ability, or added a new feature to the Plasma Pistol.
Right now, it seems weaker than the Disruptor.
Its only benefit is its ability to skip the time to take down shields that the Disruptor needs, but I think they also took away its homing ability, so it’s basically too weak now.

17

Actually I want to make a post to petition to remove the Disruptor from the game. Shock Rifle is fine since it’s this game’s new extra sniper weapon I guess, but Disruptor sucks for both Vehicles and Spartans, and it should be scrapped in favor of restoring the Plasma Pistol EMP ability. Disruptor doesn’t need to exist.

I think the Disruptor is fine as it feels more powerful than the Plasma Pistol’s regular shots, but they should improve the Plasma Pistol or change what shock weapons do and give back the EMP effect to the Plasma Pistol.
