So far there have only been 2 secondary weapons announced for loadouts, the magnum and plasma pistol. 343 did say that there would be more revealed, but exactly how many more, will the numbers be on par with the primaries(so far 5) or will they be a few shy. Many of us have speculated that there will more then likely be a promeathan side arm and that maybe even the SMG will come back.
Is that it though just a possible 3 or 4 side arms, would that even be worth having sidearms then. If they do remain at miniscule numbers then I think most people would just end up using firepower for 2 primaries.
I would just like the side arms to be more diverse and actually be used in the game.
So what do you think about secondaries and what others should be included.
Dont forget about armor mods (2primary) they work really well into the game. also i think 2 sidearms are great aswell but maybe a forerunner sidearm would be cool
I just don’t really see the Halo Ar and smg existing together. Just how useful would the smg be if we already have an Ar? Would it just shoot faster.
My guess is that it shoots way faster than the Ar and deals damage better at a very close range, but empty’s clip faster and big spread at sustained fire.
> the shotgun should be a secondary weapon but only on the bigger maps.
No. The Shotgun should remain a power weapon that can be picked up (ala Infinity Accordance drops). Frank already confirmed that the possibility to put the shotty in loadouts exist (for custom gametypes like shotty assault or team shotty’s) but most likely won’t be a option for players to choose in more serious playlists.
Besides, a shotty on a big map wouldn’t make much sense. Those types of weapons work better on smaller maps due to smaller spaces and frequent encounters. Bigger maps usually have more space and vehicles, making a shotty less effective (unless you camp and you’re not really helping your team if you’re camping in the base while everyone gets spawn trapped).

Of course, but it has been a while. I don’t really remember the significant difference between them. The only thing I remember is the smg being fired faster.
There will be a couple more true secondaries atleast, regardless of what the final number will be it will force players to choose between the firepower package and the others that give more power to your spartan in general. It will be interesting to see what decisions most players will end up making, and I like the idea the tactical and support packages bring to the game and im sure there will be more secondarys to support their use. I figure the Promethean SMG and possibly Repeater will likely be secondarys, it would also make sense that the Prometheans have a pistol styled weapon of some type similiar to the weapons shown in Halo Legends perhaps.
Dude thats one gun that im hopping to have return in Halo 4. And if they dont wanna do the suppressed version then fine the red dot style scope is awesome with or with out the suppressor.
