what gun will you like to see added in halo

is there any gun you likke like to see added in the next halo game

an experimental human built pulse rifle

Remove the BR from MP or turn it semi-auto... Also use real guns as source material instead of crappy man made sound effects.YoungSinatra25

Either include the ODST pistol or bring back the BR to the Halo2 version. I know the BR is supposed to be more realistic but it really sucks from a far distance with a bit of lag.

Also, I would like a weapon that is unique and that needs it's own strategical use. A lot of the weapon additions since Halo 2 and 3 had similar uses to some already existing weapons.

Here's a list of weapons that I thought were unecessary:

Beam Rifle... It's similar to the sniper rifle, but with a new coat of paint.

Carbine... Use it the same way as the BR

Gravity Hammer... Used the same way as the sword

Mauler... Just a weaker shotgun

Spiker... SMG's with blades

Brute Plasma Rifle... not much to comment about that one

My point is that there were too many weapons that didn't have a seperate strategical use from previous ones. Original additions such as the brute shot are great, because you use that weapon differently from anything else...I'd like to see more of that, not just alien versions of human weapons.

an automatic shotgun a la spas 15

I'd like to see a whole Large Hadron Collider somehow made into a weapon. Small black holes could quickly diminish enemies and then disappear as a result of hawking radiation. It'd be pure gold.Altec100

i dont see how a hadron collider could ever be even hypotheticly made into a portable weapon, i think a Graviton Gun, Singularity Rifle or Mass Shadow Cannon would a more appropriate name/description from such a weapon

The jackal's little shield.

A Spartan Jump Jet Pack would be cool and maybe a humen EMP rifle like the one from The Eraser movie.

I'm sure they know what they're doing.hollis101

I'd like to cast my vote for the "stop making halo games before you completely water down a series that is already well on it's way to becoming more of an annoyance than a blockbuster" gun. When you shoot it, you would be quickly transported away from the halo universe into another franchise that's just as interesting and yet still has the potential to be innovative, an after affect of the gun would be gaining the ability to look back fondly on earlier iterations of the halo series.

no more halo plz. I heart halo, but also i'd like to keep hearting it, so no more plz.

The BFG 9000.

the gravity gun in halo would be awesome!

Nobody makes you play new Halo games but you.

whahaha how about a gravity gun

There's been 5 games over the course of what, 6 years? With only one being a spin-off? I mean seriously, since when was it considered 'milking' or 'watering down' a franchise when it reaches past 4 games?

beyond that, when a game that's touted for the duration of it's existence to be a trilogy goes beyond that point, it might be milking it.

Also, when you sit down to design some DLC for the capper to your trilogy and then stand up with a "new game" you just might be milking it.

If you've got toys, comics, books, games, a spin off game that has no place existing, a movie in limbo, an animated movie and now you're pushing past the expiration date that's been set since the beginning of time (halo's time) -drumroll- you could be milking it.

I'm not sure if you caught the part where I said I love halo, I'm a hardcore halo fan, there's a master chief helmet on a shelf over my tv for a reason. I don't want to stop loving halo, and if "new" halo keeps getting delivered seemingly every few months, I'm going to stop loving it, it's going to stop being so awesome, and i garuntee i'm not the only one who will be affected by this. My suggestion comes as more of a "please, let it rest for a while" then a "we should probably give halo the ol' yeller treatment" at the very least let this series breathe, let it take some time to sit and to age. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder and in the case of halo some absence will do not only that, it'll give us all some time to fall in love with this series again. My suggestion would be to shelve halo until the next gen makes its appearance (3 / 4 years, not that bad) and then come back at us with some flagship LP madness. It's a good idea, from every possibly perspective, and to be pretty frank, you'd be stupid to disagree (when I say "you" i'm speaking at everyone in the world, not any specific person)

Ditch the Assault Rifle and add an M-16 like one.Blixxed

The Battle Riffle is just like an M-16, down to the 3 shot bursts. I used to hate it, now I actually like how most matches you start with one.

Something like an AK would be cool. Less accurate than the BR, more range than the AR, full auto vs the BR's 3 shot burst.

e575

Yes make the AK, it would actually have range not like the AR. Make it auto and semi auto, so when you enter close quarters, go auto, when it gets mid range go semi auto. Throw away the AR, it is just an SMG without being able to dual wield. Everyone uses it the same way anyway, shoot then melee.

So basically what you're saying is, fan service is 'milking' a franchise.

And how are comic books, movies and figures got to do with it? Mario's had all of that crap for as long as I can remember, and no one even mentioned the term 'milking' until Halo Wars and ODST were announced. And if you were a hardcore Halo fan, you would be jumping out of your skin that new stuff was coming out. You don't see hardcore fans of anything sulking because of the new stuff coming out.

You claim to be a hardcore fan, yet you don't new stuff to come out. That's like saying your a hardcore fan of DBZ but don't anymore new episodes. It makes no sense at all.

Human Knife and Jackal Shield.

DBZ movie recently you'd understand that there are -alot- of DBZ fans (super fans even) that justifiably don't want to see new DBZ for some time now, it makes perfect sense and you're just refusing to see the logic, I don't mean to insult but how old are you? like 13, 14 maybe? I'd understand your stance more if that were the case, as the "gimme gimme gimme, now now now" attitude is something that is basically ingrained in kids that age. like i said though i'm not insulting, i'm trying to understand.Jeff_Boldt

I highlighted that last paragraph for two reasons.

#1, It wasn't even a Dragonball Z movie. It was just Dragonball, but whether or not it was isn't important. What's important is the fact that DBZ ended years ago. DBE was something that tried to revive that old craze, but utterly failed due to an idiotic director that only wanted to seehis vision on the big screen. On top of that, it wasn't even canon.Hell, I highly doubt that Akira Toriyama was even consulted with the production of the movie. And this what you call 'milking'? Furthermore, this horrible DB movie merely increased the craving for a an actual goodDB/DBZ movie. There's no logic that I'm refusing here, it's the fact that any hardcore fan of anything would want more of whatever it is they're in to. This whole nonsense about 'intelligent' fandom is nothing more than you justifying your argument with a play on words.

#2, I'm not your average 15 year old that fits into your 'gimme gimme gimme' box. I only have about 15 games in my 360 library. The most I have for a console is 36, for my SNES. But how does my age even come into play on this subject? When did I ever imply that I wanted 10 new Halo games by 2012?

Oh, that part about cookies. Yeah, good one. As if everyone acts the way you say it will. :lol:

I hate to break it to you, but not everyone gets tired of the same thing after a duration of time.

well looks like we're just gonna have to agree to disagree. I can see your side of the arguement though, don't get me wrong, I understand the desire to see more and more of something you like, familiarity is fun, but I've been caught up in the world of video games for so long at this point I think I might have a bit more perspective, or at least a slightly more grown or educated one. I'm 24, my first memories are quite literally of coleco vision, atari 2600, Apple II/e, Commodore 64, etc... I've seen so many games come and go, and so many idea's that come out as the absolute hot isht but get beaten to death.

like I said I feel you when you say you want more and more, but I'm looking at this situation and saying that yes, I want to see more, but I've watched how far technology and story telling has come in games and I have a solid idea of where it's going, because of that, rather than have even 3 or 4 more halo titles this generation, i'd rather see a break taken and see these companies come back to the series when more power and freedom in development is available to them. If halo titles are continuously released at this point, the odds of it making any kind of decent return to a next gen console (actual next gen, not next gen referring to this gen) go down and down and down.

Simple marketing says "new and fresh" is what will win over the most people, and I'd like to see halo remain a title that inspires tons of people to pick it up and be amazed by not just the quality of the graphics and physics, but the story telling as well. So essentially what my opinion is, is that Halo has reached it's potential on this gen, it's come as far as it's going to in terms of graphics, physics and story and as a result any new titles aren't going to have the same feeling as upgrading from halo 2 on your original xbox to halo 3 on the 360. So all i'm saying is, give it some time, lets come back to halo when a significant improvement can be made and until then lets push a new IP forward on the 360 so that when the next generation arrives the library of titles to be updated is bigger and therefore offers more from the get go.

oh and lastly, I totally nailed your age, har. no really I only mentioned age because i find the 20 to 30 year olds tend to have a wildly different perspective from younger gamers, I think it has to do with that when we were younger it was amazing to be a 3 pixel tank shooting 1 pixel bullets across a monochromatic maze hooked up to your TV through an RF switch being controlled by a 1 or 2 button joystick. When you were the same age, the industry was getting into 10 million pixel avatars, full color schemes etc... I think we as the gamers who were first introduced to this topsy turvy world were instilled with a bit more patience.

I'm a very nostalgic person. I play lots of my old Playstation and SNES games over the oh so shiny Fallout 3, Fable 2, CoD and what have you. I was actually hoping to get an NES emulator so that I could experience the stuff that came before my time. I've been a gamer before the age of 5 :). And I'm all for franchises taking their time, but people just seem to be throwing the word 'milking' around everywhere not really knowing what milking is. And let's not forget, Halo isn't the reason why everyone gota 360, even proving more so that milking wouldn't be that effective overall. Matter of fact, A LOT of people who own a 360 haven't even played Halo.Whereas toMario,everyone who owns a Wii, has a Mario game.

Master Chief has been around for barely 6 years, it's far too early to be saying that he's being milked, because he isn't. Only 5 games have been released over 6 years, one being a spin off not even made by Bungie, and another being an expansion pack. And I also believe that the books came out beforethe games, and merchandise such as actionfigures and his new anime coming out, is justlike the phase that Mario went through. Eventually, it's going totank.

Pfft, I digress.

I understand where you're coming from though, since I have an older brother being 24 years of age. Excuse me being blunt and condescending, I assumed that you were just another troll at first.

i know its not a weapon but how about upgrades on your armour like more health, higher jumping or grenade regeneration and activate them by pressing on the D-Pad

Crysis style tactical nuke :P
