Re: Halo 4 complaint (sort of): weapons

In Response To: Halo 4 complaint (sort of): weapons (Jabberwok)


Short comment. I LOVE how there's more weapons (hope they do the same with vehicles). For me, the more toys I have to play with, the more variables I can play with in a given situation. Having multiple choices to tackle an objective in Halo gives me some of my most fun times.

But, I agree on the issue that they aren't all as distinct as they could be. Let's look at the Assault Rifle class. We have our Assault Rifle, awesome. Then we have the suppressor. Only difference to me for these is that the suppressor is better when more up-close. Is that good enough for a difference or should we ask to make things more distinct? I miss the plasma weapons from Halo CE because they had 3 awesome distinct qualities versus human weapons: no reload, were more effective at taking down shields, and my favorite, they STUNNED users.

Honestly, after thinking about it, my main issue is the promethean weapons. I feel like they're not different enough, and should be reevaulated. I was very disappointed when they revealed the weapons to just be reskinned versions of our current weapons. I dont believe such an advanced race would have reskinned versions of our weapons. Seeing their (awesome) weapons in Origins from Halo Legends is the kind of stuff I expected.
