got 99 req weapons but a sticky detonator ain't 1

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

So I figure at this point we list what weapons haven’t be brought back yet (little joke since H5G now has 99 power weapons)

  1. Sticky detonator (H4)
  2. Plasma launcher (Reach)
  3. Needle rifle (Reach)
  4. Flame thrower (HCE PC\H3\H3 ODST)
  5. Focus rifle (Reach)
  6. Brute shot (H2\H3)
  7. Brute mauler (H3)
  8. Brute spiker (H3\H3 ODST\Reach)
  9. Concussion rifle (Reach\H4)
  10. Target locator\designator (Reach\H4)

I am not sure how the S.D. would fit in Halo 5… I would like the P.L. back though

3

Focus Rifle from Reach and the Halo 2 Bruteshot. Oh and the Machete.

4

one opportunity that both bungie and 343i missed is to bring the needle pistol into the games

5

Concussion Rifle, I really liked how this weapon worked in Reach, not so much in 4.

6

RIP mauler…

The mauler was ok, but wasn’t that great unless duel-wielded.

8

The Needle Rifle exists as a Carbine variant.

Focus Rifle is pretty close to a Sentinel Beam, just with a Sniper Scope

Brute Mauler was a terrible shotgun

Brute Spiker is basically the upgraded Brute Plasma Rifle with a Knife on it.

Out of all of these I’m really surprised we don’t have the plasma launcher yet. I mean… it is in the game and you can use it. I wonder whats stopping 343 for making it officially available.

I would probably lose my -yoink- if 343 added in the brute shot. I love that thing.

I guess that works too. But only when close.

and we have more than a few weapons that exceed 4 variations so why no indulge the nostalgia 110%, 343i is got at least one more update that needs more reqs anyway

13

no need for needle rifle apart from nostalgia tho, they gave us blood of suban, works just as well and i kinda like how it looks too ( that red with pink highlights :slight_smile: )

we need a good way to implement the other brute weps seeing how we have quite a few new weps that work in a similar way. for example:

  • brute shot: works similar to h3 brute shot (we already have 2 ricochet capable grenade launchers) with the halo 2 era melee strength (give it that one shot melee capability of the brute plasma rifle variant) - mauler: essentially a pocket shotgun, dont really have any ideas on this, maybe put some sort of emp effect along with damage? - spiker: we have the brute plasma rifle already, its like bringing back the elite plasma rifle with the storm rifle already in the game. guess we just accept that this weapon got canonically obsolete. - focus rifle: long range sentinel beam?? - flamethrower (halo 3): makes a good aoe and area denial turret type weapon, cud be used for defense by blocking base entrances with fire etc, will work well with splinter nades.

they need to add in more classic load out weapons, like if they added in h2 smgs or the halo reach assault rifle people would grind more and itll probably make them more money.
