The reasons that custom games and campaign have separate weapons than matchmaking is because of redundancy, overpowered items, silliness, machinima or other various reasons.
Everything. Bring it all back, MA5D, MA5C, H2 Magnum, H3 Magnum, SMGs, Brute Plasma Rifle, Missile Pod, H3 Machine gun turret, Sentinel beam, Focus Rifle, Grenade Launcher, Repeater, Flamethrower, etc.
Plenty of the unique and cool weapons got left behind in the old games, which is just a pity. The Missile Pod balanced out the RL not tracking, Flamethrower was awesome, Focus Rifle was a sniper rifle that actually wasn’t a copy of the human version, and so on.
While these don’t need to be fit into MM, which I guarantee isn’t possible to do while keeping everything balanced, they need to at least be in Customs.
I’ve got some ideas.
UNSC Weapons:
BR
AR
DMR
Sniper Rifle
Shotgun
SMG(Dual)
Mounted Turret
Sticky Detonator
Frag Grenade
Rocket Launcher
Spartan Laser
Magnum(Dual)
Railgun
Elite Weapons:
Plasma Rifle(Dual)
Plasma Pistol(Dual)
Needler (not dual, simply because it’s OP) (Assassination)
Beam Rifle
Plasma Grenade
Fuel Rod Cannon
Plasma Launcher
Carbine
Needle Rifle
Energy Sword (Assassination)
Carbine Pistol(Dual)(Not as powerful as a carbine, but reliable in a pinch)
Concussion Rifle
Plasma Cannon
Forerunner Weapons:
Light Rifle
Boltshot
Binary Rifle
Incineration Cannon
Pulse grenade(with added EMP effect)
Sentinel Beam
Scattershot
Suppressor
Light SMG(Dual)
Brute Weapons:
Brute Shot(Assassination)
Spiker(Dual)
Mauler(Dual)
Gravity Hammer(Assassination)
Flame Grenade
Brute Plasma Rifle(Dual)(More damage than an Elite Rifle, but overheats faster)
Spike Turret(Mounted turret that shoots large Spiker rounds)
Spike Launcher(Shoots a large ball that explodes into a spray of spiker shrapnel on contact)
UNSC Vehicles:
Warthog(Chain Gun, Rocket, and Gauss)
Mongoose
Transport Falcon(Driver has no weapons, two chainguns on the sides and a passenger seat in the middle, great for objective games)
Attack Falcon(Driver has forward mounted burst fire machine gun and two passenger chain guns on the sides)
Elephant/Mammoth
Scorpion
Mantis
Elite vehicles:
Ghost
Banshee
Wraith
Scarab (That’s right, FREAKING SCARABS!)
Revenant
Spectre
Forerunner vehicles:
Light cycle(basically a mongoose, one driver, one passenger, no weapons)
Some kind of tank (Fires Incineration rounds)
Brute vehicles:
Chopper
Prowler
Edit: Any weapon followed by (Assassination) means that the weapon has its own custom tailored assassinations. Also I would like Elites back in multiplayer.
