Halo 5 New Weapon/Vehicle Ideas?

[TheReach2134]

Hi,

 

In This post I'd like to mark down some Ideas for some new Vehicles and Weapons.

For all UNSC, Covenant and Prometheans.

 

1.The Spectre, The Spectre in Halo 2 was one of my favourites. It was the equvilent to the UNSC Warthog. They should also make something like a Promethean version too.

 

2.Promethean Vehicles: Yes I know everyone wants them very bad. I want some too. Here are some Ideas I want about them.

• When you like get inside one itll like Transform and something like that. Like how the promethean weapons when you hold them for the first time in the game.
• Do not make them spawn to much for as they may be overpowered as 343 may make them.

3. Bring back Dual Weilding of weapons. And bring back some of the main dual weild weapons such as SMG and Plasma Rifle.

 

4. In maps they should have more randmon oradance drops and maybe some random guns laying in the ground like in previous Halo's.

 

5. Maybe bring back Grenade Launcher from Halo Reach or even have it as a Warthog Turret type.

 

That is all my ideas. I will keep editing the forum as I may keep getting my own new ideas!

Feel free to leave your own ideas in the reply section too. May Halo 5 be a good one!

I say we get Promethean vehicles.

 

But not just generic run of the mill vehicles.

 

I think Prometheans should board vehicles, then rip out their cores from their backs and stuff them into the vehicle, which transforms the vehicle into a powered-up version of itself. At this point the Knight disintegrates. Ghosts with rear turrets and four frontal guns, Wraiths with Incineration Cannon blasts, Scorpions that fire orange/yellow Spartan Lasers without charging up, etc. And of course a 50% increase in vehicle health. A difficult fight on Legendary.

 

Then, to get a Promethean vehicle, you must board back, and then you rip out the core and take the driver's seat. Congratulations, you just earned pure epic.

 

And as for Multiplayer, just have them spawn as power vehicles. Rare, the kind of thing the two teams (Or in an FFA match, everyone) will fight over. 

[SM295]

The Spectre was a pretty awesome vehicle, but if I have to be honest, I understand why it didn't show up in Halo 3. The infinite boost coupled with the Plasma Cannon turret did make it overpowered. With the new gameplay mechanics, though, I think it would be fun if it made a comeback.

 

Promethean Vehicles I think sound awesome. Jump in, and it modifies its structure around your Spartan. A tank firing heavy Incineration Cannon shots, maybe with a Pulse Turret or something, would probably be my new favourite vehicle. The only trick is to balance them with other vehicles.

 

Dual-Wielding I kind of understand, although I have a slightly better idea. Have a variant of some loadout weapons (Plasma Pistol, Magnum, SMG, etc) where it's dual wield. More firepower, but longer to reload, less aiming, and no grenade-throwing capabilities. It'd probably be awesome, and dual Needlers would be the ultimate Campaign/Ops weapon.

[UnusualUnicorn]

How about a vehicle that can fire while boosting, is a one man (or alien, whatever) aircraft that is weak, but fast. It would be the opposite of the banshee, being slow and clunky. It would be great for fly bys and for helping the ground forces. Name it the Covenant Spirit and the UNSC Gryphon or Griffin

[TheReach2134]

making vehicles shoot while boosting will make them OP. Thats why its disables for covenant vehicles such as the Chost and Banshee

[UnusualUnicorn]

That's only because the guns are overpowered. If the guns were weaker, then it wouldn't be, or at least, much less so. And thank-you for responding, by the way.

[haloman 2]

i think the forrunner vehicle should be somewhat like a STAG vehicle from the game saints row. i love those vehicles. i think that there should be a armor mod that is dual wielding. but it only works for plasma rifle, magnum, plasma pistil, and needler. then i want a new armor ability. its kind of like drop shield. its a shield that is also like a black hole in  a way. it deflects bullets and sucks things up limited to 4 feet. it launches the things it sucks up back out and all around you. like crates, guns, it only pushes vehicles like 3 feet or so. and it helps get people splatters and if people are too close it shoots them back a bit, it doesn't kill people if they get caught in it. it only takes their shield down. and the ability takes your shield down as well after you are done with it. when it gets vehicles it shoots them only 3 feet and it launches them fast enough to take down enemy shields. it only launches the ghost and mongoose farther because they are lighter.

[UnusualUnicorn]

What we all need is realism in the destruction of vehicles and damaged vehicles. Like when you shoot the front of a ghost, only the front should be damaged, and only where you`re shooting, so it`s not like when you shoot the front and the sides and back explode or crumple. Another thing is when you shoot off the side of a banshee or disable the fins on a ghost, that you have to fight for control, and boosting is harder to control, seeing as it`s only one side boosting. Lastly, you should be able to shoot out the tires on a warthog or mongoose, and when a warthog is disabled but not blown up, you should be able to detach it. You`re a freaking Spartan for goodness sakes, you can rip it off a puny little tripod, why not a mount? 

[тυcкєя]

I like this Ideas.

 

I have only one Idea of my own.

It Is somewhat of a Covenant vehicle.

So I think It would be real cool If they made like a new vehicle 

but, when Grunts, Brutes and

Elites got onto It then It would

change Into an Covenant like vehicle.

 

So there would be like a human version of this vehicle

and then one for the Covenant.

Im not sure what It would be called.

[haloman 2]

I made another thread of a new AA idea. it is pretty much a Jackal shield I have the whole explanation in the thread

 

http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/27685-aa-power-up-jackal-shield/

[ForgeMonitor]

I would like a UNSC weapon called the Lighter. It would fire just one cartridge that engulfes an area that size of a Regen Field in flames. A direct hit means certain death, while the area of effect is good or area of denial. It would be great to use against the Flood.

[AnimalDenWinter]

1. Yes.

2.YES.

3.Maybe. But they should bring back the Plasma Rifle as a load-out weapon also the Spiker should be a secondary weapon cause it's not so good. Other weapons:NO.

It would mean it's unfair for other players.

4.Yes.

5.NO. It didn't really feel like a Halo weapon more like a CoD weapon. But as a turret sounds pretty cool.

 

Very good post dude. Makes you think what you really do want not something that should randomly be plopped in the game.

•Fits into a slot on your HUD next to the grenade slots, destroys warthogs in one hit as well as personnel

-Bubble shield 

•remains active until destroyed

-EMP field 

•Immobilizes vehicles and SLOWY drains shields within a 20m radius 

 

You may notice that i left out forerunner weapons and vehicles, that is because (in my opinion) the forerunners are utterly boring and annoying to fight. 

I would love to see the brutes return as a sort of pirate like rouge faction in halo 5, possibly attempting to invade and take control of a weakened Sanghelios which we must defend alongside the arbiter. 

 

In addition, many of the vehicles i listed are only plausible if used in a 16 vs 16 or 32 vs 32 playlist (such as the pelican and phantom) which will hopefully be possible with the processing power of the next gen xbox.

@PP Please redo that post. Also, please refrain from copying and pasting; once is enough.

For Promethean stuff, I made a post with my ideas.

[Ryu♥Hayabusa]

Like when you shoot the front of a ghost, only the front should be damaged, and only where you`re shooting, so it`s not like when you shoot the front and the sides and back explode or crumple.

You`re a freaking Spartan for goodness sakes, you can rip it off a puny little tripod, why not a mount? 

Gameplay purposes, Engine limitations, etc. The damage realism could be achieved, but making a messed up banshee hard to control is bad for MP gameplay. Halo 1's ghost had this in campaign and it was so aggravating. Reach had it too, I think. The mechanic was absolutely cool, but would ruin MP.

[Milan Peeters]

Axilus prime that would be unfair to the other players that aren't promethean

[Sp4rkFloW]

What about a tank for prometheans? (Wait, can they operate vehicles?)

[DarthTyrium]

For my first post on this forum, I am going to suggest something me and my friend have been thinking of for quite some time.

 

As many may tell, you can see Halo 4 multiplayer is far more vanilla than the past three main Halo games, and has been stripped right back to the foundation and rebuilt. Which I find is a fantastic move.

 

But now, I think it's time 343i forged something more for Halo 5. These are some of my ideas for what can be included:

 

- Reintroduction of the UNSC Vulture and Lych as a drivable vehicle in a new 'heavy air-assault vehicle class. (would make for some brutal 32-player multiplayer battles)

 

- Introduction of the UNSC Sparrowhawk as a multiplayer vehicle. (UNSC counterpart of the Banshee)

 

- Use of the Mammoth in a map that would be the successor to Sandtrap.

these are great ideas. i remember sand trap and the elephants. loved that game type. also i like the lych and vulture and sparrohawk ideas as well

[-Legendary-]

It's quite simple bring back all weaponry from previous halo games.

Yes even the brute stuff- if they can add a Grav-hammer they can sure as hell add the other brute weapons

 

Also if MP is a "simulation within a simulation" again then there's a viable excuse

 

Oh and equipment from Halo 3 I miss that stuff

[MrWaffles]

I think that the loadout weapons should have 3 or 4 different ones eg 3/4 UNSC automatics, precision and sidearms, and the same with covey, promethean and maybe return of brute weapons as well.

the snipers could have two variations as well, like the beam rifle and focus rifle for the coveys

 

here's some ideas:

UNSC:

Shredder - resembles the assault rifle from halo 1 but stockier and shorter

Wrecker - 3 barrels that fire at the same time, mid damage full auto but low fire rate doe slightly higher damage than the BR when all 3 hit

Menace - Precision weapon single fire, high damage but lower fire rate than DMR, longer barrel, accurate but loses it quickly

(un-named) - side arm, 16 rounds full auto, very high fire rate heavily loses accuracy but capable of killing in 12 bullets

Ripper - sniper, 1 round, rail based fire style but can hold the trigger for longer (still limited)

Usable katana - speaks for itself, has own assassinations

 

COVENANT: (they already have three automatics like the repeater, plasma and storm)

(un-named) - precision, plasma based, flight delay but high shield damage semi auto with a slower fire rate than the carbine

(un-named) - side arm, needle based, 3 needles in soft flesh (shield needs to be down) for supercombine but it would take one and a half clips to take down shields.

 

PROMETHEAN:

Duster - side arm 6 rounds, produces a small flame that gradually drains enemy shields, 5 out of 6 can kill, can be charged like the boltshot but drains entire clip and produces a larger flame that can continue past an enemy and hit those behind up to a certain distance, killing closer ones instantly and heavily damaging others

Line up - crossbow shaped, fires a horizontal line of hard light, deals high damage but high reload time, if the entire line hits a single person they disintegrate

Buzzer - small but heavy classed weapon, one round, launches a ball similar to one from the incinerator cannon but homes, slow flight and easily avoided, instant kill, if hits a surface a large shield depleting explosion forms

Slicer - gauntlet that forms around the arm with a small light blade (similar to the blades on the prometheans) 2 hit kill has its own assassinations

 

let me know if you like them and if you think of any names for my un-named ones let me know :3

reply your ideas as well, lets see how creative this community is

[stormbyte4]

The gravity rifle cut from halo ce

[WonderWombat]

They should finally give the Covenant a tank.

[Matt 117]

My weapon ideas:

Human:

1) spartan rifle -- shoots red lasers like the original spartan laser, but not as powerful. Shoots like like the assault rifle but doesn't look like the assault rifle. Would be a custom load out

2) revolver -- basically a modern day revolver but future looking. Six round magazine. Would be a custom load out

3) Gauss sniper -- self explanatory. A gauss shooting sniper, but no magazines. Would be ordinance

4) bolt action sniper -- self explanatory, ordinance

5) Devastator or DVR -- two round burst, low recoil, low fire rate, high damage, load out

 

Human guns to bring back into MP that have been in previous titles and in Halo 4

 

1) silenced SMG and or regular SMG -- custom load outs

2) grenade launcher -- ordinance

3) missile pod -- a turret

4) flame thrower -- a turret

5) battle rifle -- custom load out

6) dmr -- custom load out

7) assault rifle -- custom load out

8. Rocket launcher -- ordinance

9) rail gun -- ordinance

10) frag grenades

11) sniper rifle -- ordinance

12) SAW -- ordinance

13) shotgun -- ordinance

14) magnum -- load out

15) rocket turret

16) gauss turret

17) LMG turret

 

New covenant guns for upcoming halo:

1) needle launcher -- ordinance. A rocket launcher needle launcher. The needle would be huge.

2) plasma LMG -- ordinance.

 

Other covenant guns to return:

Plasma pistol

Plasma grenades

Plasma rifle

Storm rifle

Covenant carbine

Needler

Fuel rod gun

Concussion rifle

Needle rifle

Energy sword

Gravity hammer

 

Forerunner new weapons:

Vanquish LMG -- not my idea but look it up. Would be ordinance

 

Slip space grenade -- like the slip space nuke in reach but grenade size. Custom load out

 

Dark rifle -- shoots dark light. Doesn't look anything like the light rifle, but it is a single shot kind of weapon.

 

Promethean sword -- ordinance. Used for melee purposes

 

Forerunner sniper -- another forerunner sniper. It is three round burst, but the shots are fast. Ordinance

 

Other forerunner weapons to return:

 

Incineration cannon -- ordinance

Suppressor -- load out

Light rifle -- load out

Pulse grenade -- load out

Binary rifle -- ordinance

Scatter shot -- ordinance

Bolt shot -- load out

 

Flood weapons:

Flood tentacle -- ordinance. For melee and can convert enemy dead corpse into a flood in any game mode and the infection can spread if the dead body infects another guy.
