More Weapons, Please

Hello Spartans!

In response to the “More Vehicles Please” topic, I figured why not start a discussion on what weapons we want to see in Halo 5: Guardians. I have a list started here and as I was thinking about it, Halo Wars 2 is coming out, so wouldn’t it be awesome to see some Jiralhanae weapons make a reappearance? Or even the Brutes themselves!? That’s a lot to ask for though. Feel free to add to the list here:
UNSC

  • M363 Remote Projectile Detonator (Sticky Detonator) #### [/li] - M7057 Defoliant Projector (Flamethrower) [HCE, H3, H3ODST][/list]COVENANT

  • T-31 Needle Rifle (Needle Rifle) [HReach] - T-52 Special Applications Rifle (Focus Rifle) [HReach] - T-25 Grenade Launcher (Brute Shot) [H2, H3] - T-52 Pistol (Brute Mauler) [H2, H3, H3ODST] - T-25 Carbine (Brute Spiker) [H3, H3ODST, HReach] - T-3 Antipersonnel/Antimaterial Incendiary Grenade (Firebomb) [H3, H3ODST] - T-2 Antipersonnel Fragmentation Grenade (Spike Grenade) [H3, H3ODST] - T-50 Directed Energy Rifle/Heavy (Concussion Rifle) [HReach, H4]FORERUNNER

  • Z-040 Attenuation Field Generator/Localized (Pulse Grenade) #### <------probably not, since the Splinter Grenade replaced it.[/li][/list]

MA37 is the only weapon I want, preferably with the same upgraded variants as the other AR’s.

Nah we have like 30,000 weapons as it is…

So true XD
The Brute Shot I bet a lot of people miss.

Brute Shot, Spiker. I would say Mauler, but without duel wielding, well, it’s essentially a less powerful shotgun with far less range. Also, the flamethrower would be awesome, but would likely take a lot of tuning to get right.

Right. Although they added damageable flames to Halo 5, you can’t necessarily catch fire though. They’ll need a lot of reworking, definitely.

I was kind of wondering why they took out the Concussion Rifle from Halo 4. It seemed like a good weapon, right?

Yeah, and if they ever bring it back, I really hope that it doesn’t have the promethean disintegration effect… Just wouldn’t fit, and it’s one thing that bothers me about the fire in forge.

Which weapon is the MA37?
I do prefer to use the name in a spoken language because it’s easier to recognize.

The MA37 is the ugly (in my opinion) Reach variant of the Assault Rifle.

This.

I would actually to see the Sticky Detonator return in Halo 5 mainly because it’s a very unique weapon.

Since I peaked a lot of interest here, were the weapons and vehicles from older games implemented into Halo 5 through players’ interest? If so, how do we reach out to 343 to implement the ideas?

Omg this sounds amazing! Reach and beyond had amazing weapons, why not bring them back?

I know, right?? They did bring the Reach Grenade Launcher back, which I love, but still, it would be nice to see some more weapons return, like whatever happened to the Needle Rifle?

Sticky detonator is probably my #1 choice to bring a weapon back. Doesn’t even need variants, just copy/paste and make it level 2-3 uncommon req.

Yeah, like wtf??

If the Needle Rifle were implemented, it would be a Level 3-4 REQ, since it has the destructiveness of a Needler.

Actually, more so around 4-5 I would say. Though the Reach Grenade Launcher is a Level 3-4 REQ, it doesn’t have the magnetic capabilities like the Sticky Detonator does. So I would assume it would cost more to obtain it.

I think there must be some at 343 Industries that read the forums for feedback.

I would actually like the see the classic Plasma Rifle return even when we have the Brute Plasma Rifle.

Thanks, I hasn’t really preferred that the weapon isn’t that clean. We saw with Halo 4 that they returned with the classic look.
