Ok, so I know there has been a lot of heated debate on whether or not weapon customization should be added or not, but I think there is a way that it could work. People have said that being able to choose your weapon would bring the battle out of balance, and yes it very well could. I’m just so tired of going into a game and hearing nothing but the assault rifle or DMR. It doesn’t sound like a real battle! That is why we must look to the example of Gears of War.
Gears of War gives the game a much more diverse and realistic battle simulation by way of enabling the player to choose between 3 unique, yet equally matched, rifles. Halo could EASILY replicate this and make it work and still feel like the Halo we know and love!
SMG: This is for the scouts and sprinters. For players who like to lay down a load of fire and be able to jet away instantly. They would be able to move faster because of the lack of weight.
None of these weapons is better than the other. They are all equally matched if used by the right person. All of these weapons you would be able to customize with scopes, handles, extended mags, silencers, etc… and maybe you would be able to change the colors and patterns to make it your own. This would add the fun of weapon customization while still retaining the balance of a fair fight.
Of course this is a very brief and rough idea, but I think that it could be fine tuned and added to create an awesome experience.
Even if customization on weapons is only aesthetic like it should be if it comes to Halo, weapons that don’t use scopes should not have scopes. It would ruin the guns image, feel and take away a chunk of differentiality from the weapons.
I would love love love weapon customization…in campaign and firefight sorry I like picking up and finding weapons in matchmaking. firefight in depth weapon customization would be very fun “for me” at least
This is a really extreme topic, pretty much taboo for the hard core Halo players. Even if you play this out with charts and the like, they most likely will say no. I would leave this sort of stuff for 343i to figure out.
NO! It shouldn’t be anything like COD other than minor weapon customization! COD was good in the beginning but now it is just a repeat with every game they release. Probably one of the biggest disappointments in gaming.
Those are not balanced at all. A skilled BR man would destory any 3 of the others. A skilled DMR man would destory the assault rifle and SMGs and the SMG assuming its in gameplay along with the DMR and AR would need duel wielding to come close to a skilled AR BR or DMR man
But nothing like choosing between any two non-power weapons or weapons with special abilities like PP EMP or Needler tracking
BR+Plasma Pistol
or
SMG+Needler
That said… I would prefer no customization or loadouts sans Invasion.
> Those Assault pics look sick. I’m tired of seeing the same stale look that the Ar has been keeping. A block of black that shoots bullets…

> Imo, the AR is most uninteresting looking weapon in Halo Ever! I know it’s the traditional Ol go to weapon default… but damn, spice it up a little.
I’m not against weapon customization, but merely anything that affects gameplay. No extra scopes or anything that affects gameplay and there’s not a problem.
