Wouldn’t be cool to have some cool new options for H4’s weaponry.
For example, what if we had the Battle Rifle AND DMR in H4? Or the H2 pistol vs the H:R pistol?
The battle rifle could be more oriented toward mid range fights while the DMR can be for the more sniper style players.
Th H2 magnum could have a fast fire rate and low bloom, while being weaker than its Desert Eagle like cousin. The H:R magnum can retain it’s traits and maintain being balanced.
Carbine vs Needler Rifle
Maybe a new alien pistol that’s head shot capable.
A double barreled shotgun or a laser rifle, I can go on all day…
I’ve been saying this for so long now. OT: This is a lovly idea.
To be honest, I’d rather have a bunch of completley different and new weapons than old ones that do pretty much the same thing.
The reason why I think that Halo 3’s sandbox was the best of the series was that Bungie threw in (almost) every single weapon that had been in the first two games, even if some of them had overlapping roles (e.g. the SMG and the assault rifle). They gave players an unprecedented amount of choice, and I hope that the number of weapons in Halo 4 either equals or exceeds the number found in Halo 3.
Smg vs Assault Rifle, lets make it game of old school vs new school. Let the pros from older Halo games take on the skills of the newer Reach players with there own weapons and lets see who comes out on top. I think it would be exciting to see those kinds of fight where it’s not just about the one skill based weapon, but the many skill based weapons.

That’s what I’m looking for! New weapons vs the old weapons. I felt that H:R took away that magic that H3 and H2 had and downgraded the weaponry too muck.

To be fair, Reach was set before the games of the trilogy. I always find it a bit odd when prequels are more replete with features than their sequels.
Allright, lets be honest, when ya look at the facts, Halo 4 wont have any of the new things reach added, all of the new technoligy that was on reach was destroyed when Reach was glassed, and technoligy was improved sense reach,
we can safely assume that there will be no Bloom, no AAs, no DMR, no grenade luancher etc etc, if 343 brought them back, they would be breaking cannon, and last time i checked they dont have any intention of doing that,
however, there is a very high chance that weapons/equipment from Halo 3 will return, such as the BR, equipment, possibly the brute chopper and prowler, etc etc, though things like reachs forge 2.0 will return and be better then ever,
in short, in terms of gameplay, we can safely assume it will be closer to Halo 3/2, and we can definitely safely assume that the gameplay will not be like reach, and based on the facts, we know that reachs new weapons, vehicles, AAs, and Bloom, probably wont return.
I want akimbo back. My maulers and the brute weapons. I’d like to see the Gauss Warthog. Alien sniper…the beastly elephant vehicle.
i want the brute shot back asap it sucks that it wasn’t in reach. i have always wondered what a BRUTE sniper rifle would be like. i honestly want weapons with fire type selections from semi to three round burst to full auto fire. i also want the ability to USE the knife you have, so you are not looking for ammo when you run out. also we need some thing like the halo 3 hornet and like eevery one else yes i want to drive a god dam pelican!
> i have always wondered what a BRUTE sniper rifle would be like.
A sniper rifle wouldn’t gel with the Brutes’ approach to warfare. If you look at their existing weapons, most of them are quick and dirty guns designed to rip or shred enemies from close range. I think Bungie’s intention was to make their weapons as barbaric as their wielders.

I suppose having a DMR as an option for ranged encounters in campaign would be nice.
H2 magnum needs a ammo capacity increase (to at least 60) as well as more ammo lying around. It’s too easy to run out of ammo for it. The Reach pistol needs a buff imo. I hated how I had to swap it for the DMR for nearly every encounter in the campaign. Obviously, I want a Bloom decrease or max ammo increase as it hinders it’s efficiency.
But I agree about the Carbine and Needle Rifle.
