Stubborn Barren

What makes a Forerunner Weapon... Beam-based... Anti-Flood... weaponry. We should look at current designs... the appearance of the weapon is built around the wielder, and some have variating fire modes. So we should have two firemodes... current ones and unique ones. That allowing a lot of significance when using and separating them from their UNSC and Covenant counterparts. Suppressor - Offensive Mode... Rate of fire decreases, bloom decreased... accuracy increases. (tap trigger) - Suppress Mode... Rate of fire increase, bloom increase... accuracy falls dramatically (hold trigger) Light Rifle - Burst Fire Mode (zoomed out) - Single Beam Mode... think focus rifle or sentinel beam in Halo: Reach and Halo 3. (zoomed in) Scatter Shot - Bolt Shot... charged shot with damage that is proportional to holding time. (hold trigger) - Scatter shot... more ammo and richochet but less damage. (tap trigger) Binary Rifle - Single shot fire mode... think light rifle zoomed in Halo 4. (zoomed out) - Binary Laser Tracking One Shot (zoomed in) Incineration Cannon - Single Photon Blast. (tap trigger) - Charged Photon Blast... think Plasma Launcher from Halo: Reach. (hold trigger) Stasis Pistol - Burst shot... a small spray of hard light. (zoomed out) - Decay shot... damage over time. Doesn't stack. (zoomed in) Plus create new forerunner/promethean weapons unlike the ordinary categories... Sniper, Shotgun, Heavy Weapon, Automatic, Pistol and Precision... we need a new special weapon like the Needler, Spartan Laser, Sticky Detonator, Railgun, Plasma Launcher, Focus Rifle, Sentinel Beam... perhaps a beam-based charged weapon if the above changes are NOT implemented? Okay I just thought of this new idea for making the Forerunner weapons a lot more unique... Firstly what do we know, or have seen, from Forerunner or Promethean Weaponry: - They fire hard light and photon projectiles... (Promethean) - They construct themselves around the user arm... (Promethean) - They disintegrate the enemy target... (Promethean) - They have a variety of fire modes... (Promethean) - They use beam-based firing modes... (Sentinels) - They have a glow or aura about them, that signifies a certain Forerunner caste... (Sentinels, Promethean) Secondly what are the Forerunners technologically advancements, that the other two factions, UNSC and Covenant, do not possess: - Gravity Fields Manipulation - Hard Light Projection - Slip Space Mastery - Star System Cloaking - Sentient Artificial Intelligence So my idea is we should see a lot more gravity manipulation and slip space weaponry that creates a different, unique weapon... like the Needler, Energy Sword and Gravity Hammer... which has still, not been successfully reskinned by the UNSC or Promethean weapons... same with the Spartan Laser, Rail Gun, Grenade Launcher and Stick Detonator... [buffer Grenade]Buffer Grenade... This weapon is a grenade. This weapon allows the user to manipulate gravity around an foreign body, which slows the enemies or allies. "This Forerunner device was used for Forerunner crowd control and can manipulate gravity fields in a certain location, around the device. The device creates a denser environment... which puts more strain and pressure on the muscular and skeletal systems, of foes, thus slowing or even halting the riots." This grenade should be combined (integrated into) with the Pulse Grenade which can be used for crowd control of objectives and choke-points alike. [Confinement Gauntlet]... This weapon is a gauntlet that builds around the players arm, which creates a glowing Forerunner glove. This weapon has 2 charges upon pick up, and can only have 3 charges maximum. The weapon is an instant kill and can target any player, beside the manipulator, friend or foe. To operate, the user presses the firing trigger, which then must be held to maintain the portal (5 seconds maximum)... otherwise portal disintegrates and the tear in real-space is repaired. "The manipulator can summon a slip space rupture that causes foreign bodies (scenery, vehicles, weapons, enemies, allies), that are not attached to any planetary body, to be drawn into a tear in real-space. The foreign body is sent to a slip space bubble, which lacks the basic necessities to survive... oxygen, food, or water. This is known as the null dimensional plane." This weapon can be used to get multiple kills from projecting the rupture at objectives or block entrances to certain access points in objective matches... as well as key choke-points in a slayer match. Besides these new additions changes to the current weapons mechanics should be made... The mechanic should be changed instead to not have single weapon classes, or categories, with one hard body... but have one Forerunner weapon that manipulates itself for the purpose it requires, via modular components pick ups. In other words a player could start out with a suppressor but wants to use a light rifle he/she could simply grab the modular device require... which transforms (deforms then reforms) the gun in front of the user without the need of pick up trading... this would essentially be pick ups (modular pick ups) but with a spin that gives a uniqueness to Forerunner weaponry... so an all-in-one gun...

Halo "AAA" game is in the works or planned and is not part of the canon series..... Probably not gonna be Halo: ODST 2 because most of the ODST would have either retired from duty or joined the spartan - IV program. It might be another prequel like Halo: Reach or a Halo: Grasslands game based of the novel bridge the gap of Halo 3 and Halo 4 or even just an Arbiter based game..... There is also a chace that it may be Halo Wars 2 with The Forerunner/prometheans, Covenant and Flood/ Precusers.

All of the ideas are awesome I am sure 343 industries will take into account what the fans want. And it actually would be awesome for M.C. to get Cortana back; and what if the Didact was to mutate Master Chief (M.C) just before he died from flood infection thus making the Master Chief the new didact and so making him part-forerunner; part-human allowing M.C. to control the prometheans. This then allows the Storm Covanent and Arbiter's Sanghelli to reunite under the Chief as a friend/ God depends how the sanghelli see him. Just before the Precursers return with more trials for the mantle of responsibilty.... *End Cutscene* Once Master Chief prooves his metal against the precursers; he is finally given access to his personal records which leads him to find his Parents on Eridanus II..... Just before knocking on the door Cortana ask if he is ready for another adventure (implying that meeting his parents is an adventure) in which he leaves his helemt on the doorstep ; turns and walks into the sunset. The closing cutscene shows monuments (more than one) of the Chief spread through out the galaxy not just on human colonies, but sanghelli and other aliens erected in his honor. For conduct not just to his own race but to the galaxy.... Giving Master Chief an invincible effect and immortalising the hero. The screen darkens and Cortanas voice is heard once more "Its Over." and Master Chief replying "Wake Me When You Need Me." *Roll Credits*
