Game: Design a Weapon!

There's plenty of threads at the moment predicting what weapons will be in Halo 4. Everyone's wondering which old friends will be returning and how they'll have changed, and what new companions we'll be meeting.

 

So I'm thinking, let's do something slightly different. Instead of trying to predict what weapons will appear in Halo 4, why not have a game where we try and create new and interesting weapons ourselves?

 

There's a particular format I'm thinking they could be done in, which runs like this:

 

Weapon Name

Faction (UNSC, Covenant, Forerunner)

Firing Mode (Single, Burst, Auto)

Firing Rate (Low, Medium, High)

Reload Speed (Low, Medium, High)

Accuracy (Low, Medium, High)

Shots to Kill (including headshots)

Shots per Magazine

Headshot Capable (Yes, No)

Dual Wield (Yes, No)

Bonus Effects (Supercombine, Area of Effect, Plasma Damage type, etc.)

 

As an example, here are the Assault Rifle from Halo 3 and the Needle Rifle from Reach:

 

MA5C

UNSC

Fully Automatic

High RoF

Fast Relod

Medium Accuracy

16 shots/kill

32 shots/magazine

Cannot headshot

Cannot dual wield

Bonus: On-screen ammunition counter

 

Needle Rifle

Covenant

Single Shot

Medium RoF

Fast Reload

High Accuracy

7 shots/kill (9 without headshot)

21 shots/magazine

Can headshot

Cannot dual-wield

Bonus: Can get supercombine kills on unshielded opponents, 2x scope

 

So using this system, we can come up with something like this:

 

Ravager

Forerunner

Single Shot

Medium RoF

Slow Reload

4 shots/kill (6 without headshot)

12 shots/magazine

Can headshot

Cannot dual-wield

Bonus: 2x scope, scope can see through walls, can fire through walls

 

So, what can you come up with? Get creative!

Cyclone

Forerunner

Automatic weapon

Medium RoF

Medium Accuracy

Slow reload

12 shots to kill (N/A headshot)

30 shots/clip

Can't headshot

Can't dual weild

Shots can pass through people (like a sniper) and deals more damage to each additonal person that is hit. For example, if 3 people are in a row, second guy would die after 10 shots hit and 3rd guy would die after 8.

 

*Edit, changed RoF and forgot accuracy

Bruiser

Forerunner

Single Shot

Low RoF

Low Accuracy

Medium Reload

1 shot to kill (N/A headshot)

6 shot/clip

Can't headshot

Can't dual weild

After you hit someone, shots will redirect to another nearby target (if there is one) and deal half damage. Think of it as the shotgun for Forerunners I guess.
