Is there a particular reason we can trade weapons with other players directly? If I pick up a whiplash and don’t want it why do I have to get someone’s attention and then go to a req station or find a weapon on the ground to give it to him? Why can’t I just walk up and hold the ‘a’ button and if wants to trade he does the same?
While I’m at it why can’t I give power weapons to marines? Why are they so attached to those ARs? I’ve got more fuel rod guns than I will ever use and I can’t give them away.

I would really love this!
that would interrupt the flow of the game. if i need to jump out of the way and you ask for a trade while i’m trying to jump, then i would just trade weapons, possibly lose it and die. This would be abused by trolls

It wouldn’t require a message or anything, maybe just an animation of the offering spartan holding the weapon out so you know what is going on. As for trolling, I had a guy running in front of me and another guy who were trying to splaser captain hestro in hopes of us hitting him and thus dying. People who are griefing will use anything, that doesn’t mean that a useful mechanic can’t be added just because a few people are jerks.
An animation would interrupt the game even more, you could accidentally hit the trade button and then go into an animation. I would assume it would work just like in older halos where you could trade weapons “hold A to trade…”

That would be the idea, but it would only activate if you held the ‘a’ button for a period so if you got killed using it would be your own fault.

I am all for this, after all you can already trade weapons with the enemy, of course you have to kill them first. But it should only be allowed at a req station or designated spots, I don’t want kids pestering me to trade weapons.
Well your friend can spawn in a weapon you want and give to you in game.
I like this idea, as long as I don’t get pestered by someone wanting to trade their magnum for my sniper lol
I hope they will add it to HALO 6…
I love this idea, the marine part would be pretty cool too, I just wish I could give him my tanks, I can’t drive 10 feet without getting blown up.
for marines i would agree

Herein lies the problem. People would constantly swarming and annoying people with power weapons trying to get them to accidentally trade weapons, or would get in their line of sight, push them, or disrupt them however they can trying to persuade them.
It’s not that hard to find a weapon on the ground in warzone to swap out so you can throw it for your teammate. Just say “yo [spartan tag/name], you want [weapon]? follow me real quick”
As for marines, it would throw the balance way off since they have 100% accuracy, give a marine those 100 common sniper rifles you have and that’s unlimited free kills for life.
not bad i want all my marines rocking blaze of glory hehehe

You realize I had a guy Spartan charging me yesterday, to get a splaser I’d req’d in about five minutes prior right? People already attempt to grief over weapons. I’ll agree that the mechanics of it need to be worked out, but I still think it would be nice.
Marines aim for center mass, not head shots. Marine hits me with a sniper, it pops my shield I pop its head, not that big of a deal. Though that would be murder on Vehicles.

Why couldn’t we use a button on the d-pad? It doesn’t really have to be “A”
I think it’s a really great idea but I wouldn’t want to use “A” (Jump) for this feature.
Weapon trading is a good idea and would be nice for machinimas because we will finally have an animation for trading weapons with other players

Maybe if you’d be able to give marines just loadout weapon variants it would have a chance at balancing out. However, they’re still a one shot.
Ha give the marines plasma casters!
Seems to work fine in Gears of War 3. Especially when playing Guardian or Capture The Leader.
