Hello,
Everyone can comment here one what weapons should make a comeback, what changes should be made to the current arsenal. Please take the time to make constructive criticism and explain your reason one why it should come back or this new style should be created.
As the creator of this I would like to state my major change.
The Brute skewer is so unique and in its own class. It’s not a sniper to me but it’s not a standard anti rocket weapons either and that’s why I love it.
Shock Rifles, I think 343i aren’t even sure what to place shock rifle as… To me currently it’s a sniper, but I wish it wasn’t. I personally think it should be a DMR and made weaker.
I think it should be overhauled, I personally think the disrupter and shock rifle have amazing potential and should be similar to the sidekick and BR.
I’ll go in greater detail for everyone.
The Disrupter, is a beautiful new gun, it sucks but doesn’t.
The uniqueness of this weapon is cool with our it reacts to the environment and if you go against a sidekick user with it you would lose but also have the chance of winning.
If both a equally fired the sidekick would ultimately win but they aren’t walking far, the shock kills them and on the off chance you missed and don’t get the kill well now he’s going to take longer to charge up then the average player not shocked.
The Shock Rifle, should act similarly, it should be a perfect counter to the BR. In a 1v1 standing still direct headshots the BR is the faster killing machine but once again he’s not walking far. Should have the same effect as the disrupter and be a perfect counter.
Plus the environmental elements these weapons play should stay the same and are beautiful. The electric shock that bounce to players should still exist, and how the damage drops off the further it travels is beautiful. I like how they shock vehicles but hate how they replaced the plasma pistol. I think weakening the shock rifle down to a DMR should also require more shots to the vehicle to stun. How it bounces off objective markers, objects and more is what makes you want to use this weapon.
Yes is both would be a slower kill time but you’ll still get the kill or weaken a group of people. It’s so versatile and unique.
Now if it was me that decided to bring shock weapons, the plasma pistol would still function the same, but instead the shock rifle and disrupter would take a lot longer to stun the vehicle but it would do small amount of damage to all the players within the vehicles.
On top of the topic with the plasma pistol it’s tracking needs rework. It’s inconsistent close quarters, actually misses the majority of the time. Also the visual charge up and letting go of the trigger there’s a delay, which causes it to fire a normal plasma shot. Not much only a few seconds but can be annoying.
I would also like to state by moving the shock rifle in this way, would provide a great opportunity for 343i. This would make for a good opportunity because you could bring back the Bean Rifle, I know the fans and die bards would love this.
Fuel Rod it was already pretty balance and unique to the rocket launcher.
Shotguns should be a 2-4-6 shot based on range not 2or3-4or5-6or7. Also could bring a new variation of the classic shot gun do more damage, can one shot kill but slow reload time and slow pump time. Definitely could be balanced well.
Classic Plasma rifle, I love weapon variety in weapons plus it’s a classic. Slower rate of fire compared to the AR, shreds shields faster then the AR. Because of its slower fire rate compared to the AR it can be easily balanced by having higher damage per shot. Making them equal to kill time but it’s iconic and beautiful. Like in previous halos have it has the red variation for the brutes.
Grenades:
I would also like to mention I think the dynamo Grenade time should be brought down a small amount.
Now mentioning grenades the fire grenades, I can’t remember the name but they would be fun and unique, especially I’m custom games/infection. How they act more like a Molotov, you could even create a new version and have the plasma fire.
Equipment:
Gravity lift throw down
Also the current shields need to be buffed or at the very least their deploy time needs to be much quicker. At this point I wish the bubble shield was back but you could destroy the equipment inside the shield and also have the bubble break down similar to the new throw down shield.
