It’s good that weapon skins were added in halo 4, but why have we yet to see any sort of gun modifications you can chose, 2-3 for each primary loadout gun, changing that guns properties?
You can loadout with the stock version, just the regular gun, or with a modification that provides a distinct advantage and disadvantage to that gun. For example an automatic DMR that blooms more per bullet than a semi auto stock, or an overcharged storm rifle that does more damage yet overheats faster, these sorts of things.
These are still the same guns though, if I had a modified BR and walked over a stock one I would still collect ammo. The stocks will always be the most well rounded guns, but players should be able to modify their guns in this way or a similar manner to their liking.
More unbalanced differences is what Halo doesn’t need.
Sorry, but I have to disagree.

I don’t understand. There would be testing and balancing obviously.

I agree but, for Infinity only where it really bis about having fun and any thing goes.
But, there are always the non Infinity play lists/game modes for those who do not like this version of fun.
Something for everyone…traditionalists and modernists.
Since the legendarily fabled Bungie is doing exactly that for Destiny, why not for just part of the overall Halo MM, Infinity…will not hurt one bit.
Sorry, that would be too confusing. It would work if you aren’t going against other player though.
This game does not need any more balance issues.
> This game does not need any more balance issues.
Could you explain yourself? What is unbalanced I have not noticed anything.
I’d rather be able to customize guns with aesthetic differences, and just have them share ammo.
Why can’t people understand what Halos core is?
decent ideas and i understand what you are trying to say but i do not know if this would work in Halo. We are a proud people that don’t take to kindly too changes, especially the many changes that were in Halo 4. Yes people are somewhat becoming happier, but what you are saying would upset a great number of players that i can already see posting about how OP this gun is because of said add ons that you were talking about.
Goodness, no. Wrong direction, OP. I think most people would agree that we should get rid of gameplay-changing modifications and just stick to cosmetics.
Skins is the farthest i will go. If you want gun mods and customizable weapons, play COD,Battlefield,Rainbow Six, and pretty much every first person shooter. Halo does not need weapon mods. Its bad enough we have perks. Halo doesnt need anythin more that will “Change” the outcome of the game. Its fine where it is. And this is like asking if we can put a red dot on out AR and put different scopes on weapons. And yea that would be cool but honestly im good. Leave it where it is. 343 needs to focus on whats important. Not adding extra BS.
I support completely aesthetic attachments, but nothing more than that.
I understand what you are suggesting, but for me and most other constant Halo players, we do not want this at all. One of the things that makes Halo Halo is that you know what to expect out of a weapon. You know its expectations and limitations either when you are using it or someone else is. Such changes to any weapon would drastically change the dynamic of the game more than it has already.
Going back to earlier Halos, if you spawned with an AR, so did your enemy. If you spawned with a BR, so did your allies. You knew what to expect when you came across an enemy. In Reach, this was changed, to where you could spawn with different armor abilities as well as some difference in weapons (Needle Rifle vs DMR sort of thing) in certain playlists. In Halo 4 you see that you can spawn with any weapon in any game mode in any situation. I think that if you moved it any further down the line you would really screw things up.
On a more personal note, that would be the final straw for many people and Halo multiplayer. Hypothetically, if you saw this change it would be in a Halo down the road, but it would kill the community more than the community has already. (Yes I am a supporter that the community has killed the community and not 343)

Your opinion on gun attachments is now counterproductive.
no thats a bad idea the br is a 4 shot for a reason, no idea why i would want it stronger and to KK 343 killed halo thats why the community is crap now
No! Just, No! This would push away what people we have left.
> no thats a bad idea the br is a 4 shot for a reason, no idea why i would want it stronger and to KK 343 killed halo thats why the community is crap now
No. The community has always been crap.
Well I’ve made numerous suggestions as to how halo can improve in regards to strategy and entertainment value; the addition of actions such rolling, diving, climbing and proning. making armors more than asthetic with different mobility vs protection values. Adding tactical grenades such as smoke and flash. And now this one on gun mods among others. Uh so who wants to make a suggestion of their own? We just want halo 2 ever couple of years with better graphics? Talk to me here.

So, you’re saying we’re all terrible people that only want to destroy Halo, and that nobody has ever tried to help newbies to the franchise, and that the community never did anything good for the game?
Because on all accounts is that claim wrong.
