Things like the Needle, Spike Knuckles, bow/crossbow do really have a place in Halo in my opinion. I like the idea of the Spike Rifle. Love the Carbine and how the brute weapons look a mix would be pretty cool. As neat as some of these ideas are adding too many weapons to Halo becomes difficult to balance. I mean 343i had enough problems balancing the starting weapons in Halo 4. Although I would love to see the next Halo have a huge arsenal of weapons.
