Reach WEAPONS in HALO 4?

Games Other Halo
1

Reach was the first game in the series yet it seems to have weapons that don’t exist in Halo CE and beyond. Being a new halo player (started with reach fell in love with it played one and two) I was wondering what’s 343 gonna do about those weapons? Are they gonna put the DMR in Halo 4 and what about the different variants that of weapons that weren’t in the other games but REACH? At least there should be a reason for why some weapons are in REACH but not other games. Anyways that’s just something I’ve always wondered and I hope that you guy’s would fill me in or share your opinion as I haven’t really read up on this stuff.

This is my first forum post ever please be gentle.

The Plasma Launcher should make a return. I never would even call it a power weapon no one ever race for it on Hemorrhage like they do the Spartan Laser in Valhalla. Both were power weapons both were placed in the center of the map. Yet, more people in Halo 3 went for the the Splazer than the Plasma Launcher, that has to be telling you something.

Well, the point is the Plasma Launcher should return as a more fearsome weapon. Since Covenant most likely won’t be in Halo 4 they should have a weapon similar to the Plasma Launcher that’s more intimidating.

The Grenade launcher needs to come back.
Bungie nailed this gun, and it was both powerful and hard to use, in some ways.

I just want the BR and SMG back.

Bungie and 343 have given reasons as to why some weapons weren’t in other games. the DMR had already been replaced by the BR in most units except the Army in reach and other smaller forces. The same thing for the needle rifle being replaced by the carbine. not sure about the others but i think the reasons are similar.

I agree that the 'nade launcher should make a return and it stands a chance. Don’t think any of the others will be in though, at least in the same format/model

First off, Welcome to the Forums!

Second, I’m not sure. Most of the weapons we used on Reach were lost in it’s glassing, so probably not.

> I just want the BR and SMG back.

The Assault Rifle IMO was better than the SMG. the only thing that the SMG had over the Assault Rifle was the dual wielding. Im torn on the BR vs. DMR though :S

I want my bruteshot back. H2 or H3 model IDC.

But they shouldn’t they be mass produced somewhere?
BTW Thanks :slight_smile:

NO new Reach weapon should be in Halo 4. The DMR, n00b pipe, NR, Plasma Launcher, etc should NOT be in Halo 4. It’s the sequel to Halo 3 NOT REACH.

Some of the guns on Reach are older versions, outdated like the DMR.

Every single weapon from CE, 2, 3, ODST, and Reach should return (at least in Customs and Forge) with no exceptions.

Noob pipe? I think you meant pro pipe.

Also, I forgot about the plasma launcher, I wouldn’t mind that coming back.

Some of em, not all of em though. Here’s a list of the weapons that were new in Halo: Reach and my responses to them in Halo 4. All weapons that were in the original Halo trilogy are excluded:

MA37 Assault Rifle: Nah, I want the old MA5C Assault Rifle from Halo 3, but maybe some tweaks on the range and power, but I want that old style assault rifle back, the skeletal look of the MA37 was cool only for a short amount of time and then it just grew old.

M392 DMR: HELL NO! This gun practically ruined Halo. I never liked how they replaced the Battle Rifle for this. I want the Battle Rifle back and no return of the DMR.

Grenade Launcher: I think this would do well for a return. I liked it for it’s EMP capabilities making it great against air support. Along with the new grenade launcher pistol we saw in the teaser trailer, this’ll be pretty good to have.

Target Locater: This should make a return too. It was a great anti-armor/air weapon. Return please.

Needle Rifle: Eh, this is iffy in my opinion. I kinda liked this gun, but at the same time I didn’t. I think they should just leave this gun in Reach and bring the Carbine back. It was a fun rifle to use. Plus I don’t want this game to stray to far away from Halo 3 because this takes place right after Halo 3.

Concussion Rifle: This is iffy too. I guess we can leave this in Reach and go back to the Brute Shot.

Plasma Repeater: I think this shouldn’t make a return, because we still have the classic Plasma Rifle.

Plasma Launcher: This should definitely make a return. It was a fun Covenant weapon. Great against air and armor.

Focus Rifle: Eh, I think the Sentinel beam should come back and keep this gun out. The old Covenant sniper should be the Covenant sniper rather than the Focus Rifle.

Remember, these are all in my opinion. Not sure if the UNSC and Covenant are making a return in Halo 4, but if they do, grenade launcher, target locater, and plasma launcher should be the only Reach weapons that return.

If you want to talk canon wise why those weapons didn’t appear, it’s because the weapons in Reach were the UNSC Army’s weapons. Marines had a different loadout. The Covenant ones? Don’t know. :stuck_out_tongue:

Gameplay wise? I don’t see why some of them shouldn’t return.

The Assault Rife is a piece of -Yoink- IMO

17

They should make it so the UNSC ‘re-release’ new weapons that are upgraded weapons from Reach. The UNSC scientists and engineers can add much more time into development into building and designing new armour, weapons and vehicles since the war is over so…

18

As stated I started out playing reach. IDK why everyone who played reach hates the DMR? IMO it takes skill to use although I have limited experience with the BR. Can someone please clarify?

Agreed. I liked it because most people sucked with it and whenever i went to pick it up it was there.

The only weapon from Reach I want to see is the grenade launcher.
