Ok, so I have an idea for Warzone that would make it a lot more interesting in my opinion. My idea is to take the Promethean and Covenant weapons (such as the Carbine or Suppressor), and allow them to be used as loadout weapons, like the Battle Rifle, SMG, etc. It would make the game better because not everyone has these weapons or uses them often because you have a finite amount of them and they cost REQ points. Obviously the weapons would need to be tweaked so that they are balanced.
Adding in these new weapons would have a few positive effects. First, they would get a lot more use. Right now basically everyone uses the Battle Rifle, so it would be interesting to go up against enemies with different weapons. Second, you could have more strategies making the game more interesting. For example, you could use a Storm Rifle/Pistol combo for playing in close quarters. Third, it would add a lot more replay value to Warzone, because your experience would be more unique every time you play. Fourth, there would be a ton of cool and unique attachments you could put on those weapons. You know how the human weapons have silencers, laser sights, etc. Well, you have an attachment that say, highlights enemies, or makes the gun shoot multiple projectiles with each shot, like a shotgun. I’m sure 343i could think of some cool things.
Anyway, those are my ideas on how Warzone could be improved.
Just as long as the Plasma Pistol remains as a single-use “Power Weapon” so that vehicles remain viable.
I agree. I honestly never spawn them in Warzone. Heck I sell the REQ cards right away because I know I won’t use them. If they were loadout weapons I could see myself actually using the suppressor.

Good point. Alternatively you could reduce the lock on for vehicles, make the projectile move slower (so it’s harder to hit fast vehicles), or reduce the time the vehicle is stunned for.
This would help with the commendations, never get to use the covenant/forerunner weapons enough
The Carbine is an extremely rare sight in Warzone, the Suppressor is still pretty rare but it is seen some in the low levels of Warzone Assault.
True. Because it is weird to see Storm rifles, Suppressors, Light rifles, Carbines, Plasma pistols, and bolt shots in the power weapon area when they are clearly load out weapons. Though I know that some are better then others but when you look at the weapons more closely a lot of the weapons are put into ranges with the Covenant weapons being suitable for close range UNSC for medium range and Promethean weapons for long range
Reqs are useless unless they Scorpion tanks, Sniper rifles. Every warzone map is basically a snipers alley.
Why would anyone use a suppressor when they can have a Recon AR with kinetic bolts or a Projection SMG with laser sight?
Why would UNSC soldiers show up on a battlefield using alien weapons?

The suppersor is a weapon with minor tracking capabilities allowing you to hit an enemy and kill them. If you use mentioned AR you wouldn’t be able to kill them like that.
Another cool idea to balance out the Plasma Pistol/ vehicle thing would be to create vehicles that aren’t effected by a Overcharged Plasma Pistol shot.
The loadouts Plasma Pistol could be called “Sword Plasma Pistol”. Just give it a red paint job and make it so it stuns vehicles for like 1/4 the duration of a normal Plasma Pistol.

Because it’s fun.

SoS equipment is typically superior, so we would need a different cover.

“Energy” Pistol?

If it wasn’t canonical and simulation, it makes sense that using Alien weapons, but not currently.
They did this in Halo 4, but I don’t think they’ll do this for 5. They changed to all AR and pistol starts for balance, so no one hsa the upper hand in terms of weapon (range, damage, etc.)

To compensate for that 343i would have to make the weapons different, but equal, so no one has a particular advantage. Alternatively they could give the player a few more loadout REQs to start with. This advantage already exists though. Some players have more useful variants, such as the Sentinel BR, while others don’t.
