I would love to see a new rifle/power weapon in the new halo. There probably will be as halo 2 added weapons like the brute plasma rifle and the BR; im excited to see what 343 comes up with:D so what do you guys think they will be like, also what kind of new promethean weapons would you create if you could?
I think a promethean counterpart to the sword/ gravity hammer would be cool.
Maybe something like a promethean hardlight spear. Imagine how you throw it at an enemy and spike him on a wall and watch how he disintegrates or you hit someone off of his mongoose with it.
Just imagine all the cool stuff and kills you could do with such a thing.
A promethean knights’ arm would work good for that purpose.
As cool as it would be to have new pretty weapons, 343i bothers me with how they took forerunner weapons that are said to be “weapons of the gods” and nerfed them to be on equal footing against UNSC and Covenant tech.
So seeing how 343i is kind of bending canon for gameplay with forerunners, I’d say yes, bring more weapons, but in all honesty, I’d much rather see 343i keep canon and have forerunner weapons be as powerful as “weapons of the gods” and have them be either a campaign/fire fight/SpOps thing or just not usable at all.
I really don’t like the idea of adding more weapons unless some get taken out. We don’t need tons of weapons and then have the others be tweaked or nerfed just to match the rest of the weapons. I think we have a good amount of weapons to work with now.
I had an idea for a replacement to the Boltshot (since it’s quite horrible and OP) where it begins as a shotgun (a quick one that takes multiple shots to kill, like the Mauler) but when you hold the shot the reticule shrinks and the weapon becomes more accurate and more powerful (but not a 1sk, that’s ridiculous).
In general, I want to see more alien Promethean weapons. How about a weapon that shoots out shells that (when they hit the floor/wall/enemy) expand into large EMP bubbles? How about an SMG with homing bullets of hard light? How about a grenade that pulls people into it before destroying their shields?
Another idea (keep in mind, this one is completely off the rails)- the Soullcatcher. After incinerating your enemies with any other Forerunner weapon capable of it, you can switch to your Soullcatcher to vaccum their incinerated “souls” (the dust that remains from them) into your weapon, and then you can create your own friendly sentinel out of it. [Come to think of it, this sounds like a nice stand-in to Headhunter.]
