In some campaign footage Chief Clearly had an Assault Rifle & Battle Rifle, but in some small customization footage, I saw: “Primary: Assault Rifle” & “Secondary: Magnum” I really hope you aren’t limited to weak little side arm weapons for your second weapon.
Before people bash me, let me say: I have no problem with the customization system, I like it as it looks like I’ll finally be able to spawn with Covenant weapons, but if I go covie, I want to be able to have both the Storm Rifle & Carbine with me at once and not have to take a Storm Rifle/Carbine alongside a dinky little Plasma Pistol. (I’m hoping Active Camo returns as an armor ability too)
I’m just hoping that “Primary” and “Secondary” are just code for the weapons in first and second slots, and the Secondary slot just happened to have the little magnum in it.
The primary and Secondary is exactly what you said a primary weapon and a sidearm. There is a tactical package that allows you to carry two primary weapons so that solves your problem. And besides the Plasma Pistol according to the MLG guys is pretty beefy so it should be fine.
At 1 point in one of the videos you see “8/15” unlocked, so there are 15 primary weapons. I don’t like that firepower package. I don’t want to use that “perk” just so I can carry 2 primaries.
I for one would love to carry a Plasma Pistol on spawn. That thing is, and will always be a power weapon in and of itself.
Even with a Storm Rifle. The Plasma Repeater for instance, is often discredited as being a Plasma Weapon, when it actually kills health at the same rate as the AR. So using the Plasma Pistol to drain shields, and a Repeater to finish them off is REALLY effective. Not to mention the Plasma Pistol in Reach can straight up outdamage a DMR at close range.
I don’t think people appreciate the power of sidearms anymore. I mean, the Magnum in Halo CE was beastly, and the Magnum in Halo 4 looks pretty beastly too, who’s to say they won’t compare with primary weapons.
As for what I have seen I don’t think you will be able to run with BR an DMR which sucks. Automatic rifles dont interest me. BR is classed as a secondary weapon if my info is correct. So unless the DMR is a primary.
Eh? Can’t wait for it to come out!!

Pretty much this, in Halo you’ve always been able to carry two of any weapon combo I don’t want to have to use a Perk just to do things you can do naturally in Every other Halo game, This isn’t CoD; you aren’t a weak little soldier, you’re a -Yoinking!- Spartan, you SHOULD be able to carry 2 of any weapon combo on you.

The BR is a Secondary?
By that logic I can assume the Carbine probably is too…
If that’s true I should be gold, so long as the Storm Rifle is a Primary

I love the Plasma Pistol and its awesome in Reach because it kills in 9 shots. From what i’ve heard its supposed to kill in 6 now, which will make the thing beastly. Also to the OP, the Firepower Tactical Package allows you to spawn with 2 primary weapons, you will be able to pick up any weapon after spawn.
If I can, I’m going BR and AR. If not, then BR and Magnum. The AR is great when at close range and reloading your other weapon, just tears them to shreds.

AR is probably a primary seeing as how it looks like it can actually do damage now.
Also, I bet this is just for SPAWNING loadouts. with the ability to change from a pistol to a better gun off the ground.
This seems more balanced, cause i would hate to have someone spawn with BR/DMR and just reck close-ish range and mid and longish range
This will be interesting for Customs, that’s for sure.
