I’d personally love to see them add the grenade launcher from Reach, as it was my favorite weapon. Seeing all the potential variants for Warzone would be phenomenal.
Concussion rifle. Brute shot. Spiker. Needle rifle. Gravity Hammer.The list goes on.
With Warzone simulation I don’t see any reason why we can not have every Halo weapon ever created. Since it is just a simulation canonically speaking, it wouldn’t ruin any story. Our Spartans and Marines should familiarize themselves with as many weapons and variants as possible correct? Just because a weapon was decommissioned does not mean you won’t find yourself in a place or position where you happen to stumble across a such weapon especially if returning to an old familiar world, that has not blown up. Plus I’m sure the millions of the insurgents on the outer colonies have stashes of old weapons.
What about balance? Well that’s pretty simple. <Initializing WarZone Simulation: CTF on Raid on Apex 7, with Halo 3 Weapons> for example. Just keep a specific game’s weapons grouped together. I’m sure some tweaking would be needed.
Thoughts?
I agree, the Halo Reach Grenade Launcher would be great to have come back. I want to see the Sticky Detonator from Halo 4 make a return. The Spiker, Spike Grenades, Incendiary Grenades, Brute Shot, and Mauler would all be welcome comebacks, for me as well. The original Plasma Rifle would be sweet too.
I agree with Yo Erk. I don’t see why every weapon, and vehicle for that matter, that has ever been in the Halo games, couldn’t make appearences in Halo 5. Like you said, it’s War Games simulation, it would make sense.
Besides the Reach grenade launcher, I wouldn’t mind seeing a shade turret in WZ. Maybe in a PvE mode or something.
