I'm new to these, forums, though not new to forums or Halo. I mainly check here for H4 news and such, so don't expect me to be eatin' up the shoutbox or post 1000 times a day ;D Hope I can make some friends here, and also hope it meet the same fate as bungie.net. Thanks, --Jestermeister

One of the greatest ideas ever. Count me in

With instant spawning, how would this even be implemented? Final kill-cam would be nice, though.

I personally love how much more futuristic the weapons look this time around. I was always kinda confused how the UNSC has huge spaceships capable of slipspace travel, but the weapons all look about the same as they do today.

My eyessss....they burnnnnn

It wouldnt be an overpowered weapon, just a different way to use the weapon. Add a new sort of strategy/knowing to playing. I never specifically said "they will be more powerful", just a new addition to add some different experiences.

I was thinking, to mix up multiplayer/the game, and a new level of customisation, bring in alternate weapons. An alternate weapon being a remake of another weapon, with different stats. Say, a Sniper Rifle. It's alternate could instead of having 4 shots, have 6. Where it might take 3 body shots to kill someone, or 2 headshots. Or with the assault rifle. It might have a lower rate of fire and less accuracy but it could be more powerful. You get the point. And using this method, you could choose a preference for which weapon you would use for loadouts. . So, you can choose the default assault rifle, or the alternate assault rifle, for your loadout. But these alternate weapons could be unlocked after obtaining a certain rank, to mix it up some more. To have more incentive to play and rank. *Please note*: In no way would these be overpowered weapons. Just a new approach to the way weapons work.

Srsly, some of these things are just crazy insane. We don't really need frigate's/longswords/seraphs/carriers/corvette's. They are too huge and would serve no purpose. I mean seriously, what would you do with one? They would all have to be automatically scripted with all the hallways and everything, and they would be too huge for anything. Seraphs/longswords are pointless. Just use a banshee/falcon/hornet. I like most of the other ideas. But some of you are just too childish and imaginative to see what you are talking about. The only new vehicles I would want would be the vehicles from Halo Wars, (Wolverine etc) elephant (though I never used it) and the hornet, the Halo 2 Chopper counterpart (forgot the name) and maybe the civilian vehicles. The actual forging ideas are nice.

Maybe maybe, if H4 utilizes some sort of cash/credit/money system, you could buy the AA's for matchmaking? And for another fee, you could pay to make them more powerful/less cooldown/last longer, for a small shield penalty? Such as a shield overcharge to boost energy to the AA. Say, using Jetpack, and if you have the upgrade bought, you can press the AA button when the Jetpack is running out of fuel to overcharge shields to boost more fuel into the jetpack. Same thing with Drop Shield, Sprint, Camo, AL.

If this is true, that means that there might actually be a weapon revamp...finally. I've grown pretty tired with the lack of new weapons from 2/3/Reach. Hopefully the new weapons will be Forerunner, which would mean some exciting new things.
