since its been almost confirmed that Forerunners will make an appearence in Halo 4, i was thinking. We have a bunch of weapon “sets”. There is UNSC, then Covenant counterparts to almost each of those, and then Brute counterparts to a good amount of them. Maybe, just maybe, they added Forefunner counterparts?
one idea i had was the “Sentinal Whip”, we have a UNSC Shotgun, a Covenant Energy Sword, and a Brute Gravity Hammer all for close combat, so i was thinking maybe add the forerunner counterpart. there is already a hammer, a sword, and a gun. so i then thought of other close combat weapons, until i thought of the whip.
Basically its a beam of pure energy that extends to a certain length, it has an orange color much like sentinal beams, and it is flexible. the way it works gameplay wise is its an instant kill (assuming all stats are not altered for custom game reasons), and much like the energy sword, if you arnt right next to them and the crosshair is red, you can still attack, however, instead of lunging, you stay in place. it has the same amount of attacks as an energy sword.
another idea was just to change the strength of the sentinal beam to match it almost to the ar of pr.
another idea, keep the focus rifle, but with a different design, and add the ability to get headshot medals. so that you still have to take out the shields, but once theyre down and you shoot it into their head, you get a headshot.
another is a Sentinal Rocket, which shoots blasts of pure energy much like the fuel rod and rocket, it has one shot per “clip” but does more damage than the others. it also has a lock on system.
the list continues with all weapons being Sentinal themed.
if you have your own ideas, feel free to post them. and also feel free to praise or critisize my ideas
