In Response To: Interesting (howekern)

magnum worthless? tell that to all those people who own me with smg+magnum.

and the shotgun is FAR from worthless. i got a running riot on beaver creek (in matchmaking) with it.

you want a support weapon? the battle rifle and the sniper rifle are both fantastic support weapons. you just need a good team. the wraith, ghost, and warthog are also support/supression weapons.

needler doesn't blow, it's a good unexpected killer. you just need to lead the target well.

why have classes built in? when i play, my teammates and i take on implicit, but still flexible, roles. my friend will take the sniper, i'll grab the battle rifle and rocket launcher, and two other teammates will grab the hog. sounds like classes to me, but if something happens and my friend dies, i can grab his sniper rifle and pick up the slack. i don't believe classes allow that flexibility.

halo is all about adapting to the current situation - these are all ideas that would rigidize gameplay far too much.

: Does anyone notice that there are a lot of these wish lists cropping up?
: Might that suggest that there are a *lot* of features that seem to be
: glaringly absent from the game? Almost like Halo 2 was just the "Now
: with XBox Live and a few features we should have had in Halo 1!"
: expantion-pack than a true sequal?

: At any rate, those I play with have freaquently wished for classes of some
: sort - as in Day of Defeat or Aliens Vs. Predator 2. Something to turn the
: game into less of a run-about-and-fire-madly and affect more of a tactical
: element.

: Or at they could at least fix some of the most annoying, worthless weapons.
: Like restore the shotgun and pistol to their original states (both, in my
: humble oppinion, are now next to unusable), finally make the Needler not
: blow (wouldn't a usable Needler be cool?), or make it impossible to fire
: the Sniper Rifle (or Rocket launcher) while running around and DEFINITELY
: while jumping. It would bring joy to my soul if they could add the
: jackal's shield (which I heard-tell was going to be in anyway, and I would
: have much rather have had than the sword, actually), and the might also
: add a true support weapon (I make heavy use of the MG-42 while playing
: DoD).
