What has happened, The shotgun, Energy sword, Rocket launcher, Br, Assault Rifle, Armour abilities, WHAT IS GOING ON!, I am going to go through each one of these and show you what made them iconic.
The Halo Shotgun, Pump action, Terror when you shot, Able to take out an elite or brute or even a hunter with a few shots, The flood stood no chance, Yet when we got it in Halo 4, It had changed from its beautiful silver coat to a colour we see on the new space marines, which I must say, want me to puke. I mean, what would Sarg say?
The Energy Sword, From when we first saw it in halo CE, We wanted it, when we got it in halo 2, we wanted to keep it, the luxury of killing anything with a single shot, be it shielded or not, the fact that not even an enemy on the legendary difficulty could defeat the blue gaze of the sword, Now we have the…“Prophets bane” a sword apparently being the first gen of the Energy swords, Want to know what I think of it, Pukes. Want a new energy sword, give us this one on ONE map, and give us the other one, If you want to replace it, Then you can go to COD and play with Speed Knifes,( Apparently going to be a thing).
The Halo Rocket Launcher, That RPG, Rocket thingy, That big bomb of destruction, Whatever you call it, every halo player knows that this weapon means business, We got the firepower r to take out even the scorpion with just one round, Now we have a weapon that looks like it has come out of the latest gear from the US of A, One barrel design, No, No, No, That is not on.
The Battle Rifle, The Br, One of the most iconic halo weapons, With its ability to even make a new person to halo become good, The scope, however changing, always stayed the same, having minor changes to its design (Some I do say improve it, Minor things like design and such).Now what we have is a gun, that sounds terrible when you fire, sounds like we are firing a single shot DMR!, The Br was brought into service after the fall of reach to replace the DMR, And became a near standard firearm to UNSC troops.
Assault Rifle, with us from the very start of Halo, the most iconic weapon, wielded by the Master Chief at the start of every halo game, (ODST/Wars doesn’t count), It changed through the games, becoming even more powerful than the one before it (Even halo 4`s Assault Rifle did the job, most of the UNSC guns in Halo 4 were good, except the DMR, Too Op). I have seen that you can now ZOOM with this gun! What, even Sgt Johnson wouldn’t be seen with that! It is an ASSUALT rifle, It has a zoom feature to help you with attacking targets, 343i are insane!
Armour Abilities, I must say, I do enjoy adding spring to halo, Gave my competive side of me the desire to try and regain my shields, Jetpacks, Invisibility, All these on a portable level, one of the fresh new things that was given to us in halo, taking them away from us and given us a select group is BS on a global level.
In my opinion, Halo 5 needs more time to be worked on, What they should be working on is giving us a PURE space scenario halo game, make us a Spartan with new armour that helps us in space combat, give us something where is links into lock, like easter eggs, of the true intentions of the UNSC,ONI and Locke, Allow us to customize our own ship, with weapons that we can earn in game, along with armour. Now that would be awesome, this then gives the developers breathing room, most of the halo community does not care about Halo 5, Most are too busy getting all the achievements on MCC, A game set in the time frame of about, Maybe 10 years after the events of halo 4 would be fun.
