Admiral Ackbar

You couldn't start with them. But they were fairly easy to get. Most maps had a couple of spawn points for them.

I don't see the point of it. But that's just me. In futuristic warfare melee weapons aren't needed that much. But it does add a nice twist to the game

I just had an epiphany. I'm not sure if anyone else has realized this. Well I'm sure someone has. In Halo 3, you had the the maulers. A very very powerful pistol/shotgun. Now you had the ability to dual wield maulers. Which if used correctly would result in an instant death to the enemy, much like the Boltshot. Now there are a few differences between the Boltshot and dual wielding Maulers. But in essence it's the same thing. If you fired both Maulers at the same time, you'd instantly kill the opponent. With the Boltshot you are able to get a one shot kill, or instant kill, but only if the gun is fully charged. Which when that occurs, there is a high pitched whistle that can be heard by the enemy. I don't remember there being that big of a fuss when Maulers were introduced. I was an active member of Bungie at the time, and there was the occasional thread about it. But no where near the chaos that the Boltshot has caused. I'm interested to hear your thoughts on it. Why is the Boltshot treated so much differently?

I forgot the spiker. I loved that gun.

There's a lot of talk about Halo 5 and the possible guns that will be featured. I'm pretty excited about the possibilities. So I guess the point of this thread is to talk about the guns you'd like to see. Personally I love ALL the guns. But I'd love to have some more variety. Add some new UNSC guns. Maybe bring back the SMG. I'd love for some covenant weapons to return. The Needle Rifle (or whatever it was called). The possibility of a Needle Shotgun (it's been discussed in other threads). And the Plasma Rifle was always fun. With the Promethean weapons the possibilities are endless. Seeing as there hasn't been much revealed about them. Maybe the addition of their sword type thing they have. Or some new automatic weapons. Enjoy and discuss!

I honestly don't have a problem with it. From time to time I'll come across someone who uses it effectively. For the most part though, the people using it, don't do me much harm.

That sounds freakin' awesome. The zombie games that have been coming out recently have been fun. But I want things more intense. Sounds like that will be pretty fun

I don't have a problem with the maps. Each one brings something cool to the table. As for building maps, you have to find a way to mesh the preexisting terrain with your new terrain. A pretty fun challenge.

True. It would be pretty epic. Mammoth fights...

It would be cool in a multiplayer map, but i think it would be too big to place in a map. The biggest map wouldn't be able to hold it. Maybe they could make a map INSIDE the mammoth. A close quarters map.

The covenant don't really have a need for melee weapons either though. lol

I think they have enough melee weapons. I wouldn't mind the Hammer being seen more. They might add in a UNSC melee weapon. But I'm not sure what it would be though.. They could add a Hardlight knife/sword or something like that.

A flying UNSC vehicle and Chopper

I have all the specs and I didn't preorder the game. Also the people who pre ordered paid more for a reason. They could easily come back and say, "I paid more than everyone else. I deserve more!" Just playing the devils advocate here.

You may want to steer this thread back onto topic.. And stop with the flaming.

The transport warthog wouldn't really have any benefits. I mean you can carry a passenger in a Normal warthog if need be. The transport hog would be an easy overkill.. But that's my thought on it. I wouldn't mind seeing a UNSC flying vehicle. The Pelican or Phantom would be too big for a MM game. At least I think they would be. Need too much space to land and take off. As of right now, there aren't any maps with that kind of space available.

I can honestly say I never knew that. Very interesting.

I still don't have problems with the Boltshot. Maybe I'm just good at not going near people with it.

I honestly hope they don't do anything to the DMR, or Boltshot. I don't have problems with those two weapons. I don't use the Boltshot, but I very rarely get killed by it.

Just have to say these two. I mainly played them on PC, but they were made available for Xbox too. KoToR and KoToR 2. I will forever love those games.

No need to worry. I'm not leaving. Just won't be on as much as I used to be.

You earned it my good friend! I'm glad you got it this month. I was thinking you would, but you can never be too sure! :hug:
