Ideal utility weapon?

What utility weapon do you guys want to see in Halo:4? Do you want the Halo 2 BR? Halo 3 BR? Or perhaps a new mid to long range weapon? If you have a new idea remember that it should work in most situations at mid to long range and it should take skill to use!

H2 BR > ZB DMR > CE Pistol>>>>> 85% Bloom DMR = H3 BR >>>>>> 100% Bloom DMR. I was very young when I played CE so I am not really in a place to give an accurate description of it. It probably would place much higher with CE Veterans.

And H2 BR was only that awesome because of button combos though. If it didn’t, ZB DMR prob best Utility weapon so far (Although it needs some tweaking). I think it’s safe to say 343 isn’t going to copy any previous utility weapons, but I assume the H4 Utility weapon will be a pistol. I don’t really care what it is as long as it works (Unlike the 100% Bloom DMR).

DMR and BR hybrid. The BMR. semi auto single bullet 4 shot kill.

Something between an AR and a DMR. An automatic rifle with a slowish rate of fire, and big shells. Heavy machine gun to spray with, accurate rifle to prey with. Auto/Semi switcher too.

A powerful pistol or a BR. Neither would have hitscan (leading takes skill IMO) but both would have quick kill times and minimal randomness.

I think that if they improve the netcode more then I am all for bullet travel but lag ruins it making it either non existant or extremely huge. Battlefield has it right though.

Depends on other factors. For instance the C.E pistol would never work on halo 2 maps, they are too confined. To answer your question the halo 2 br - hitscan. Works well from any distance but isnt so overpowered you can take down a sniper from across the map easily.

The Shotsniper! It is a one hit kill anywhere to the body, fires fifteen pellets in a large spread, has 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 8x, 10x, 25x, 9001x zoom! And has the bullet magnetism equivalent to the Reach AR!

And it has a bonus function: Killing eleven players (including allies) without dying allows you to send out continuously respawning vicious kamikaze grunts which waddle around exploding in your enemies faces!

What? Isn’t a utility weapon supposed to be a weapon that can be used in any circumstance? The shotsniper obviously fits this role best! Who here agrees with me!

I’m joking btw.

halo 3 Br.

best of the series.

no hit scan.

the H1 pistol kill too fast.

^Lol @ H3 BR. Fail. H2 BR FTW. Hitscan keeps host from being as powerful.

no buddy sorry its BDMR (Battle Designated Marksman Rifle) and mke it look like its from the year 2500 whatever human weapons need to look more advanced the only one right now is the spartan laser the name is even futuristic for petes sake

For Halo 4, I want a balanced game, where every weapon serves a purpose. Thus, I don’t want a utility weapon. Such things break great games

Agreed with this… though I think it should only be 4 shot kill if ALL your shots are to the head. If any of them are to the body then it should be 5 shots.

Also:

  • Hitscan
  • Keep scope to only 2x
  • Capped RoF so it’s not just about pulling the trigger as fast as possible
