I would like to see a lot, if not all of the weapons and vehicles from previous halo games make a return in H4. now, do note that I’m posting this without the knowledge if any of these are actually in the game or not. I haven’t heard news of any of them being confirmed yet, so here is the list of weapons and vehicles I mostly want in Halo 4
WEAPONS:
The Brute Shot I enjoy the covenant grenade launcher, and seeing how it was replaced by the concussion rifle, I understood why, but I much preferred how the BS shot straight, barely arcing its projectiles. also, who doesnt want a pizza cutter on a gun?
The Needle Rifle I’m aware the covenant already have a precision weapon available for custom classes (carbine) but, since the humans get 3 guns, 2 of them being precision weapons, why not add the needle rifle? it can keep the auto-firing feature it had in reach, and be less accurate than the carbine, the equivalent of the less accurate BR, if you may.
The SMG Not sure if I’m the only one who sees it somewhat of the human equal of the plasma rifle, having been dual wieldable, fast ROF, small gun, fast melee, and deadly in close quarters. maybe it could be set as a secondary in custom classes?
The Sentinel Beam Just so halo has a fresh, unique gun. a lot of the new guns are simple, it fires a projectile, it hits the projectile, it causes damage, and you could argue that the new forerunner weapons are just human weapons with different damage, skin, and colored projectile, but look at all the other weapons. the needler is something no one could have possibly come up with: slow moving projectiles that alone do little, but when combined in one enemy bursts into an explosion of pink clouds. the sentinel beam is a “different” weapon, so I want to keep it in the game to further make halo a “different” FPS instead of another generic FPS
(EDIT)Grenade Launcher AKA the “pro pipe”, the grenade launcher was a new take on explosive weapons. I know it’s being replaced and nothing we can do will bring it back, but I just wish it was in H4. using, and to go further to get kills with this gun felt very satisfying. I also enjoyed how it could be used as a substitute PP as it is able to cause an EMP, allowing it to be a very useful anti-vehicle support weapon. plus, who doesnt like the feeling of killing someone due to direct impact?
VEHICLES
The Revenant not a whole lot of reasons for it besides being a covenant equivalent of the warthog. I didnt care much for the prowler because this seemed like a vehicle the covenant would be more likely to use
The Brute Copper Probably one of the funnest vehicles to drive around in. though frustrating to turn in tight spaces (god help you if you have to parallel park with that thing) I enjoyed the increased firepower and ramming power it had compared to its rival the ghost.
The Scarab That’s right, this isnt all about multiplayer. The disappointment I had when I found out you couldnt fight scarabs in reach was so immense I almost stopped playing the campaign. they were one of the funnest things to blow up in halo 3. the only thing I can find to gelp my scarab-fighting withdrawal is fighting striders in half life.
list your opinions on what should be brought back and why.
lack of weapons and vehicles are part of what made people disappointed in reach, lets not let it happen to halo 4.
