Halo 5 needs more classic weapons

I would really like some more classic weapons in Halo 5 because there are very little weapons. Most of the weapons are exclusive to warzone.
So this is my list of weapons they should bring back

  • Flamethrower (Preferably both Halo CE and 3 so we have options :wink:) - Plasma Rifle (original) - Shotgun (original design, probably should have a lot of ammo like Halo CE because the new one has very little ammo) - Brute Shot aka Grif Shot - Stationary Turret (like the Halo 2 turret) - Grenade Launcher - Focus Rifle - Sentinal Beam - Sticky Detonator - Incendiary Grenades - Spike Grenade - Pulse GrenadeI would just like to mix up the gameplay a bit more and add more diversity. I especially like the different grenades. However, for the various maps in multiplayer they should lower the amount of grenades on the map and the amount of time it takes for them to respawn.

Id be down for most of these things cept for pulse grenades

But what purpose would the shotgun serve? Ammo can always be changed in game its just lowered specifically for balancing purposes. I could see the sticky detonator being used though.

The Sentinel Beam and Focus Rifle fill the same purpose.

Halo CE had like 12 shells per clip and Reach had like 6 shells and Halo 5 has like 5 shells. So all I that I am saying is the current shotgun has too small of a clip, and if they bring back the classic shotgun extend the ammo count per clip to at least 8 but preferably 12 like CE.

Why the stationary turret it’s just a turret that can’t detach I see no point in having this just IMO.
I don’t see the focus rifle making sense in this game if we have binary rifle and the beam rifle plus like Killer Orca said the sentinel beam fit its role anyway.
agree 100% on the rest though

bring back everything except for pulse grenades
they were awful

I’m good with all of these except for the spike grenades and the pulse grenades, I don’t think either would work very well in the current sandbox

Halo CE and AR (with all the variants) and CE shotgun (same look and sound please). These two alone would be tremendous.

There is a VERY good reason why they cut the amount of ammo the shotgun could hold. They cut it back in Halo 3. In CE & Halo 2, you could one-shot 12 people without even having to reload. It was OP.

Yes! I really want the sticky detonator back!
Id rather want the grenade launcher back mor tho :smiley:

What would be nice is having a Casual “Classic H2” gametype with H2A BR as a starting weapon. with no sprint, no Spartan charge, no ground pound. I think it would be hugely popular. Maybe have the CE pistol and a power weapon to fight over.

All the ones in bold I agree with, the others not so much. Not necessarily because they’re bad suggestions it’s just that they aren’t really iconic in my opinion. I love the flamethrower and the CE and H2 shotgun was awesome with so much ammo but I feel like it would either be a high level req or the damage would have to be reduced since a clip that size is a bit over-powered within Halo 5’s mechanics. The brute shot and grenade launcher are both just awesome. I don’t think the Focus Rifle was really iconic so don’t think it’s necessary really, just my opinion. The Sentinal Beam and Sticky Detonator were both fun weapons to use and I think would be a lot of fun in Warzone especially the Sticky Detonator since there’s so many vehicles. The incendiary grenades were also awesome but I cant see them adding any more types of grenades really, think it’s a bit different to guns but I don’t know they might do.

lucky for you, you can do that stuff in MCC or in custom games :wink:

I really don’t think we need two flamethrowers, just one will do the trick. The turret and focus rifle should stay out of the game.

that’s funny. But MCC still does not work correctly. As one example, I could not get into a match at all in MCC last night after 11pm Eastern standard time. I would the -“Found Players, Connecting Session, Session Failed” loop. This was true for every gametype. I tried to play- BTB, Action Sack, H2A. ITS NOT MY CONNECTION. I can get into any other MP game which includes - TitanFall, COD:Ghosts(which has a very small population), Plants Vs Zombies, to name a few.
Another reason why it would be awesome to be in H5 is weapon balancing. Weapons are balanced in 5. In H2 they are not -example-duel wielding completely throws balancing off. basically all single weapons excluding the BR are WEAK unless duel wielding, which still puts you at a disadvantage because you can’t throw grenades while duel wielding.
Custom games are not an option for me. You may have 100 friends to play Halo with , but I do not. Not to mention playing with the same people would get old very quick.

the very fact that we want so much stuff from older games shows how incompitant 343 is at making games

incendiary (fire) grenades, those roked (I made a pun out of my own name)

Sentinel Beam is short ranged. Focus Rifle acts as a sniper.

The Binary Rifle is a suitable replacement for the Focus Rifle in my opinion.
