Vehicles and Weapons: Return or Retire?

Community General Discussion
1

As you know there are certain weapons and vehicles in the Halo Universe that only make an appearance for one or two games, such as the needle rifle, target locator, focus rifle, golden sentinel beam, etc. (vehicles: chopper, spectre, etc.)

What weapons would you like to see make a return appearance in the next Halo? What weapons should be permanently placed in retirement?

I, for one, would love to see the needle rifle make a return. Since the BR and DMR both appear in Halo 4, what would be the big deal if the Carbine and Needle Rifle both appeared as well?

For a retirement weapon, I would not be too sad if the focus rifle ever returned. It seemed to be a glorified sentinel beam that sucked at what its main job was suppose to be…a sniper rifle. Always used it more for close quarters than long range combat.

For vehicles, the chopper would be a great welcome back for me, since I loved that vehicle. However, the prowler never seemed to be a popular vehicle among multiplayer, thus not really having the need for it to return.

I made a list of weapons and vehicles that have appeared in 2 or less Halo games for your consideration

WEAPONS:

  • Focus Rifle- Gold Sentinel Beam- Sentinel Beam- Brute Mauler- Plasma Repeater- Plasma Launcher- Silenced SMG- Silenced Pistol- Target Locator- Incin. Grenade- Spike Grenade- Brute plasma rifleVEHICLES:
  • Brute Prowler- Brute Chopper- Spectre- Revenant- Hornet (yes it appears in H2A but not in any future campaigns past Halo 3)- Anti-Air Wraith- Spirit Dropship- Rocket Hog (Halo CE PC edition)- Falcon- Elephant- MammothIf there are any I missed please let me know!

I would like to have all of the brute melee weapons back. I also want them to have slightly extra melee damage due to the spikes on the ends of them. Just a bit, to make them more useful and worth picking up.

I would also like to have the revenant back. It was fun on Reach, speeding past and mortarring everyone in Hemorrage.

I loved the revenant also. I hope it is brought back in some form in the future

I think it may be easier to include in Halo 5: Guardians and beyond older weapons that were maybe poorly-designed for their old sandboxes because of the new “Legendary Weapons”. I would love to see the Needle Rifle return as a Legendary.

I would love for the Mauler and Brute Shot to make a return. The Spiker and Gravity Hammer in Reach just weren’t enough for me.

Brute shot should come back, as well as the spike grenade and covie sniper. Keep the focus rifle retired.

id love to have the UNSC aircraft back(hornet, falcon) as well as when fighting certain cove. units I think they should have certain weapons/vehicles like standard cove should have both the Specter and the Shadow APC(H2). when fighting the Jiralhanae I think they should bring back the brute tech. weapons/vehicles. al in all I think they should have kept a lot of stuff

DUDE, DIDDO!!
I loved using them as Mobile fortresses, setting up spawn points on forge and having someone driving them around, it was awesome!
that and driving a hog or a goose around the mine field was fun, kinda like death race where the person in last place usually died…yea I dinked around a lot on that map…

I also have a Game idea that uses this:
