So, who wants the awesome Grenade Launcher from Halo Reach to return (yes, put Halo and Reach together in the same sentence)? Any kind of changes you would want 343 to make it more beefy, nerf it, or perhaps not have the gun return at all?
Personally, i think the Pro Pipe was the weapon with a learning curve and satisfying to get kills with (even more so with multi kills).
I would want it to return for Halo 4, maybe the 5 and 6.
I want to see the Railgun as the new “pro” power weapon, to be honest. Being like a bolt-action rifle from CoD or Battlefild, without a scope, and needing to account for velocity and drop.
Pro Pipe would be nice, too. Even if the Grenade Pistol is just a reskin of the Pro Pipe.
I hated this gun at first. But after a while, I have grown to love it. It is the weapon I now head for off spawn. I have had a couple of amazing kills with it, including a game winning bounce around the corner kill on Uncaged.
I would like it to come back the exact same as it was in Reach.
IMO, the Pro Pipe was the best new thing that Reach brought in.
I think your grammar needs work, but overall I agree with you,MIT was a challenging weapon to master, and I wouldn’t mind seeing an option for a slayer match using that weapon only

Have you ever played BoomBall? I think that is the gametype that has Pro Pipe starts with Oddball objective. The best part about that gametype is the Pro Pipe

When i search randoms, no one goes for it on Powerhouse. Usually, it just sits there at it’s spawn. I guess it’s not common knowledge that where it spawns or perhaps overlooked by Rockets. If know my team can get control of rocks, i just head down stairs and get the Grenade Launcher.
If it returned for Halo 4, i can see multi kills and sick wall bounces return. EMP was a nice secondary effect against vehicles and splash damage.
I never really bothered to get over the learning curve, but I always enjoy watching people that can actually use the thing get sick multikills with it in montages and whatnot.
It was a good camper buster and like you said “satisfying” when you score a kill with it. Anyone with good skill in that weapon can be devastating. But I trust 343 to have fun unique weapons in their new sandbox.
YES PLEASE. I just got around to learning the grenade launcher, and destroyed with it. Cant say i got a lot of kills, but by the end of the match i had somthing like 20 assists because of the EMP on it.
I had a teammate who followed me around stealing the kills, but i didnt care all that much.
I hate the grenade launcher it only worked in campaign. In multiplayer it missed countless times. But I would like to see the SMG and railgun as the pro

Thread needs moar poll. There aren’t many things I love in Reach, but the GL is definitely one of them. And you’re right about it sometimes being ignored by teams on Powerhouse (other maps too). I took advantage of that many times, once I’d learned how to use that thing. Would love to see it return in H4, in some form or other.
Awesome weapon, even though I don’t always use it effectively lol. It should definitely be in Halo 4 imo, either that or the railgun has to take its place.

To me, the railgun sounds like the concussion rifle/brute shot.
And the grenade launcher is a weapon that is not very easy to use. There are little tricks to learn and strategies to employ. I actually find it very easy to use now. Bouncing it around corners to blow up camping enemies…so much fun. It is my weapon of choice on Sword Base since it makes it decently easy to deal with the campers.
It kinda reminds me of playing pool sometimes…at least the knowing your angles part
edit: I actually found it worse in the campaign. I would explode it in the stupid jackals faces, another one explodes right behind their backs, and then a third at their feet and they are still standing. At least on Heroic or harder.

I would like to see it beside the railgun. Let’s have the railgun take the place of the concussion rifle, and keep the grenade launcher.
