Since 343 has announced that both DMR and BR are in Halo 4 and Frank also mentioned that there will be a wide array of weapons in Halo 4. Hopefully we will see awesome firefights of epicness. What weapons would you like to see return. Discuss.
Over 9000?..;D
Anyway, it would be cool to see every weapon comeback. Then new ones as well.
All of them (except a few from reach) plus at least 20 more! 
Honestly, too many lol. Hopefully a nice selection but i have always preferred only the BR, Sniper and the AR so that is what i’ll probably stick to, while i did use other weapons in Halo 3 for example such as mauler, shotgun and brute shot mainly so will probably pick up the equivalents but not start to camp out with them or anything, that’s boring 
I think all of the weapons from previous games should return as well as new ones

Since the covenant are in Halo 4 I would like to see the return of the beam rifle, carbine, needler, brute shot, mauler, spiker, energy sword, fuel rod cannon, and plasma rifle. But the sh**ty covenant guns from reach like the concussion rifle, plasma cannon, needle rifle, and focus rifle can all stay in reach and never come back. I would like to see the grenade launcher return and hope to see a lot of new guns from the UNSC and from our new enemy.
Me being a close combat person, along with some other long range weapons. The weopons that have been announced so far I have no problem with, however, I would rather have more forrunner tech then what the elites and brutes had to offer as far as weopons go. What I would like to see is have 343i post a weapon, preferably forrunner, and have the community determine if it’s covvanant or forrunner. I think that would be a fun forum to be in >:D
Since this is Halo, they got to beat CoD. Cod has something like 40 guns, hence Halo should have at least 70!
Wait a minute, Earth Defence Force Armageddon got over 100, and EDF 2017 got even more?! Halo hence needs at least 400 different guns to be the best! But only one good, so MLG would be easy to play.
/Sarcasm
One major issue with previous games has been the number of weapons, they’ve been to many. Most weapons have been weak copies of other weapons, or simply just useless. This has made it impossible to balance the weapon sandbox and hence forced the devs to make one utility weapon (BR/DMR) much better then all others, so they would only have to focus on balancing it, and not the rest.
Who needs plasma repeater when you got AR? AR when you got DMR? mauler when you got shotty? Plasma launcher when you got spartan/rockets? Focus rifle or beam rifle when you got sniper?
What Halo needs for truly competitive as well as casual gaming is a balanced weapon sandbox. Every gun that is present in the game, should be “good” and be the best gun for it’s niche, no duplicates or weak copies. This might lower the number of weapons, but instead all weapons would be good.
Cod is a perfect example of the opposite, tons of guns that all suck and a few, chosen ones, that are good and hence used by everyone. Homefront is the opposite, only 12 guns but a great weapon balance, every gun is a good choice.
Does it matter? BR is back.
All of them, hopefully.
the DMR and BR will both be in Halo 4? :o
The NR and the Reach Magnum should come back in Halo 4. If dual wielding wasn’t removed I would want the Halo 2 Magnum(The best Magnum of all time in my opinion) instead of the Reach Magnum.
A 117 weapons ^^

You just had to say that huh? ;D
Also, i am not so much concerned about how many weapons but how useful all them will be. If 343s claims prove true for final release, then we may have the first Halo game in a long while that evolves beyond one gun and power weapons.
That would be the day; a viable Halo weapon sandbox that can be used for competitive play and is balanced, instead being stripped down because they are not viable/weak compared to DMR/BR.
Well since there will be humans, covenant, AND forerunners in halo 4, there will probably be A LOT of weapons for multiplayer.
CONFIRMED
Assault Carbine
Assault Rifle
Battle Rifle
Covenant Carbine
Designated Marksman Rifle
Energy Sword
Grenade Pistol
Magnum
Plasma Pistol
Rocket Launcher
Shotgun
Sniper
UNCONFIRMED
Covenant Sniper?
Fuel Rod Gun(probable)
Gravity(very probable)
Needler(very probable)
New Enemy Close Ranged Weapon?
New-Enemy Fast Firing Weapon(machine gun?)
New-Enemy Heavy Weapon #1(explosives?)
New-Enemy Heavy Weapon #2
New Enemy Long Ranged Weapon
New-Enemy Single Shot(pistol?)
Spartan Laser(probable)
That would be 25. I would guess that that’s just about right…
P.S. I organized alphabetically for your pleasure :3
Alot apparently. We already have a ton of weapons and we haven’t even gotten to the new enemy sandbox yet which I imagine will be as expansive as the Covenants was(Hopefully more than the 3 usable ones in CE though)
possibly more 35-50
since there is the new weapon unlock system im guessing a variety of primarys and secondarys, as well as new power weapons.

Already sounds way too much to me.
BR for everyone everytime or burst.
