Which weapons from past Halo games would you like to see return in Halo 5?
Most of the ones that have appeared in the original games.
Firebomb grenade
stick grenade
mauler
bruteshot
smg
plasma rifle
Did I miss any?
I like the brute shot much better than the concussion rifle, so yeah, my votes on that. Another weapon, that i thought was fun to use, would have to be the needle rifle, minus the excessive bloom of course.
I would like the needle rifle back as a unique counterpart to the carbine, as is the DMR to the BR.
Plasma Launcher.

The only ‘‘unique’’ thing in NR was the needle explosion effect. Nothing else really.

But not the automatic fire mode, higher RoF, ricocheting projectiles, and the longer range. Okay.

But the difference between it and Carbine isnt as huge as BR compared to the DMR.
Definitely the focus rifle and the grenade launcher. Also, those machine pistols from Halo Spartan Assault are pretty sweet. I would definitely like to see those in a future Halo title.

I was thinking prehaps it could be modified a tad from halo reach; make the automatic fire the premiere way to fire it, having a 3x scope in class with the DMR and LR, a fire rate about 3/4 the AR and somewhat tighter bloom, and killing in 12 + headshot.
That would be unique.
I’d rather have the needle rifle than the carbine. Needle rifle is a much more exciting weapon to use.
Also the grenade launcher with EMP effect would be nice. I’ve taken banshees out of the air with that thing. I love it.
Needle Rifle
SMG
Everything True Brute (none of that re-colored stuff)
Plasma Rifle
CE Plasma Rifle and CE Fuel Rod Gun
Also the CE Flamethrower.
If the railgun doesn’t make a return I’m gonna have a fit.

Grenade launcher would also be my first choice.
But Focus Rifle? I hardly can remember it.
Machine pistols definetely together with balanced dual wielding.

No? I have to disagree, the Needle Rifle was far more different than the Carbine than the DMR is to the BR. The weapons, while both being purple, are vastly different from one another in every way.
Let’s see the differences between the DMR and BR :
- Fire mode (burst vs single shot)
- Available ammo
- Long range vs medium range
And now, the differences between the Needle Rifle and Carbine :
- Needle Rifle shoots needles that can supercombine, Carbine cannot
- The fact that it can supercombine makes it a more effective weapon in a non-headshot role
- Supercombine can also work with Needler Needles
- Needle Rifle can be shot as an automatic OR single shot, while Carbine is single shot only
- Available ammo
- Rate of fire
- Long range vs medium range
- Ricocheting projectiles
Please, do tell how the BR and DMR are more different than one another compared to the Carbine and Needle Rifle. If it isn’t different enough, Sammy’s suggestion of changing the weapon up a bit can be used. Just because a weapon appears in different games, it does not mean that it has to act exactly the same every time.
That being said, I would love to see almost any weapon introduced in Reach return in future Halo games. The Needle Rifle, Plasma Launcher, Grenade Launcher and Focus Rifle were fantastic and interesting weapons that were truly unique. Perhaps some of them could use a bit more tuning than others, but the concepts for them were great.
fire grenade, bubble shield (I want it so bad!), smg (for dual-wielding, obviously), flamethrower, and missile pod.

Like i said, Needle explosion effect is pretty much the only thing about NR that stands out. Both are precision rifles that are made for ‘‘spamming’’.
But, i guess i dont think about these things so deeply as you seem to do. And Andy.
The boltshot hahahahaha… But I would really like the plasma launcher to come back.
If I could only choose one weapon to come back, it would be Plasma rifle. Favorite weapon in CE
Grenade launcher
Plasma rifle
Smg
Flamethrower
Bubble shield
