So here’s a question that (surprisingly) not alot of people are asking or thought to ask after the E3 announcement: will the Halo CE PC-exclusive multiplayer maps contain the PC-exclusive weapons and vehicles?
-Fuel Rod Cannon
-Flamethrower
-Banshee
-Rocket Launcher Hog
It would be a shame for them to not include these old fan favorites from the PC.
Don’t get me wrong, its incredible what they’ve done with the sandbox thus far, including the Silenced SMG (still nerd-raging), the AR and the Gungoose. I personally would love for them to base the design of the AR off of Halo: Reach just as a little homage.
On a sidenote, how would you guys feel about the DMR being in the H2A sandbox? I guess I don’t mind but I hope this isn’t an indicator that they’ll drop it from Halo 5.
I don’t really mind. I honestly think Halo: CE played better without them.

The DMR is not comig to Halo 2A. Where did you hear that?
Edit: Didn’t read that correctly the first time, now I get ya. And answering, I wouldn’t like the DMR to be added.
While I don’t mind the DMR not being included in H2A, I would like to see it continue as a sandbox item.

That’s interesting that you’d say that. While I agree the classic maps had their own flow, so doing things Halo CE PC did like introducing the banshee to Blood Gulch threw gameplay off, some of the PC-exclusive maps like Death Island or Danger Canyonreally benefited from the expanded sandbox.
In general, the Halo PC-exclusive weapons worked well on the halo PC-exclusive BTB maps, but on classic maps they were lazily placed around for the sake of being there and were embarrassingly imbalanced, out of place, and game-breaking (looking at you, Fuel Rod Gun).
IMO, the best course of action would be to include the new weapons on Halo PC maps, but use classic weapon sets on the classic maps. It’s the best of both worlds and makes the maps play as great as possible.
That all being said, the Flamethrower actually wasn’t bad on some 4v4 maps, but I’d rather see it not appear on classic maps by default for consistency.
I love the DMR please bring it to H2A and H5!
I just want to use that flame thrower in CE
