Halo 5 New Weapon/Vehicle Ideas?

[Ryguyrules147]

I'd rather not have Dual Wield in Halo 5.

[I_Make_Big_Boom]

Maybe when a flying vehicle get's shot by a really powerful weapon, instead of blowing up it should crash to the ground. Like shooting a Banshee's wing off, and it tumbles in the sky to the ground and then blows up.

*Boltshot – Because it was overpowered in Halo 4, this weapon can now only take down the shields of an enemy when overcharged, making it useful in melee combinations.

 

*Pulse Beam – Directed energy weapon that fires bursts of energy projectiles. When overcharged it fires a concentrated burst of energy in a thin horizontal spread. It can be found on certain Sentinel automatons, particularly the Enforcer.

 

*Promethean Carbine – semiautomatic scoped rifle that fires hard light projectiles, which can penetrate walls.

 

*Sentinel Beam – Directed energy weapon that fires a steady stream of hard light for ten seconds before overheating, found on certain Sentinel automatons.

 

*Heavyshot – Directed energy weapon mounted on the shoulder that fires a single beam of hard light, which explodes upon impact.

 

*Dark Rifle – Semiautomatic scoped rifle powered by dark energy, capable of evaporating targets within seconds.

 

*Dark Energy – Handheld antiaircraft weapon powered by dark energy, designed to vaporize the alloys on human airborne vehicles.

 

*Guardian Turret – Stationary automatic weapon found on certain Promethean automatons.

 

*Sentinel Mine – Single shot grenade launcher that envelopes targets in self-immolating nanites, melting armor and flesh upon impact, found on certain Sentinel automatons and only disabled by the electromagnetic pulse of the Sonic Grenade.

 

*Promethean Blade – Melee weapon found on certain Promethean automatons. Players can commandeer vehicles by slashing at the head/torso of the driver and impaling him.

 

*Titan Cannon – Fully automatic directed energy weapon designed to neutralize large groups of enemies.

 

*Light Spear – Melee weapon employed by the personal guard of the Didact.

 

*Katana – Melee weapon reinforced by a powerful alternating current that resonates at extremely high speeds. It originally functioned as an accessory in Halo 3, while here it behaves as a lethal melee weapon on par with the energy sword. It has lower damage than the energy sword, but can be drawn quicker and used with greater speed.

*Human Armor Drop – After earning at least 70 points, an octagonal platform approximately six feet in diameter will plummet from a distant pelican dropship that flies over the map. The Spartan who called in the armor drop will then stand in the center of the platform – depending on the armor ability preselected, specific parts of the armor drop platform will move to form around the player (if thruster pack was selected, the metal footspaces that the Spartan is standing in will form around his feet and attach the thruster pack to his heels; if the jet pack was selected, two magnetic devices will rise out of the platform carrying the jet back, attaching it to the Spartan’s back).

 

*Covenant Armor Drop – After earning at least 75 points, an octagonal platform with similar dimensions to the human drop pod except made of dark purple Covenant metal will plummet from a distance phantom dropship. The Sangheili who called in the armor drop will then stand in the center of the platform – depending on the armor ability selected, specific parts of the armor drop platform will move to form around the player (if evade was selected, two anti-gravity Covenant drones will detach from the platform and hover in the air near the player’s back carrying two devices which comprise the armor ability; if active camouflage was selected, an anti-gravity beam will lift the armor ability up and onto the Sangheili’s back, where it will then mechanically form around its torso).

 

*Promethean Armor Drop – After earning at least 80 points, a triangular platform made of grey Forerunner alloy will teleport to the location selected by the player. The Spartan or Sangheili who called in the armor drop will then stand in the center of the platform – the platform will then disassemble into minute metal fragments and circle around the player, attaching to him to form the preselected armor ability.

 

*Climb – Spartans can climb steep obstacles while still exposed to fire.

 

*Berserk – Sangheili will scream in anger once shields are down and gain a reduction in damage, as well as a small speed increase.

 

*Jump – Spartans and Sangheili can execute a jump frequently employed by Promethean Knights.

 

*Charge – Spartans and Sangheili will be able to use teleportation to evade fire whilst advancing towards enemies.

 

*Active Teleporter – Spartans and Sangheili can use teleportation to move up to ten feet away from previous location.

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

 

No no no, I hated equipment. It was one-time use, but it lasted long. Bubble Shields, Power Drains, Regen Fields, Trip Mines...it was all so crazy and random.

 

Only Equipment that didn't infuriate me at the sight of it being used was Grav Lift, and that's because I didn't see it used in front of vehicles.

 

In H4 and Reach I thought Armor Abilities were good and balanced. Situational, and short, though reusable. H4's Armor Abilities could be unbalanced in MP, but only if paired with a custom loadout in a manner that makes it overpowered.

[Ben Daugherty]

I want a combat knife or different knives or melee weapons have the ability to be in loadouts cause it would be neat to have a quiet but deadly for those ninjas out there

[DracoAvian]

Maybe for a promethian vehicle they could have something that transforms from an air vehicle into a walker. I'm thinking air mode would allow for quick movement and as such would have less firepower than walker mode. I'd like to see some sort of targeting laser come off the main cannon like with the binary rifle. It could charge up like a splaser and disintegrate vehicles. I'm a sucker for those disintegrate animations though. I kinda just want to see more of them.

 

As far as weapons go, there are some that I really want to see, but in reality I think less is more when it comes to competetive multiplayer. When it comes to vehicles however I feel that every variant should be available in MP. It would allow for forgers to make interesting set-piece engagements at the very least. I suppose in that sense having a large selection of weapons, even if many of them aren't exactly competetive, would be a boon to the community because machinima producers and custom game players would still utilize them.

[kowloon]

For vehicles we have all land and air types but no water based vehicles.

[Corporal Hicks]

Vehicles:

 

Covenant:

-Lich

-Phantom

-Scarab

-Ghost

-Banshee

-Wraith (Anti-Air included)

 

Human:

-Hornet

-Falcon

-Pelican

-Warthog(s)

-Scorpion

-Mammoth

 

I also think they should add vehicles for space warfare.

 

Covenant:

-CCS Class Battlecruiser

-Covenant Corvette

-Seraph/Banshee Interceptor

 

Human:

-Frigate

-Halcyon/Marathon Class Cruiser

-Longsword/Broadsword

[DracoAvian]

I'm not sure how the ships would be implemented... I'd sure love absolutely massive maps made from the interior and exterior of frigates and corvettes. Realistically the competitive multiplayer would be confined to a small area of the ship, but it would allow machinima makers, forgers, and custom gamers massive spaces in which to experiment.

 

I'd love to see invasion brought back but with mammoths and scarabs. I think that as the attacker moves up, they'd have these super-heavies to spawn in offer fire support. It would be an interesting sudo-objective to defend or destroy them.

 

I'd also love to see variants on loads of vehicles. Different variants suit different game types and different game sizes. I really want to see the falcon again. That thing was probably the best air vehicle in terms of just flying around. So much fun.

[Noneed4sleep64]

They need

-Falcons as a dropship and hornets to counter the banshee

-A new covenant dropship to counter the falcon

-Locusts to counter the mantis (if they keep it in)

-Revenants or spectres to counter warthogs

[A6ENT of CHA0S]

I've got a few ideas:

1. Combine the BR and DMR into one rifle, similar to the Light Rifle.

Before you shoot this idea down, let me explain. This hybrid rifle would fire 3-round bursts when "hip-fired", but would be semi-automatic when scoped. Unlike the LR, however, it would do more damage while hip-fired, and so scoping would sacrifice damage for accuracy at longer ranges. This would effectively get rid of the problematic 'utility weapon' known as the DMR and fit both the newer BR variant and LR into specific roles. One would defeat the other based on what range the engagement was at. If anyone needs me to explain this idea further, I will promptly do so.

 

2. Reintroduce the Needle Rifle in exchange for the Carbine. Though a shocking thought, it makes sense in the game's canon (as the Storm Covenant typically employ outdated technology, such as the Elites' combat harnesses and the older model of Beam Rifle. The Needle Rifle would also fit more into the threatening aesthetic for these Elites, with its design including jagged shards of explosive crystal. Gameplay-wise, it would work like its Reach iteration, but balanced to be effective alongside the LR and "BR variant" listed above. It would differentiate itself from the others in the sense that it is a fully-automatic precision weapon, as well as capable of supercombine kills. This would add variation to the sandbox's precision weapons and serve to enforce the more brutal nature of this Covenant Remnant.

 

3. Simplify loadouts. Making loadouts consist of your choice of AR, Storm Rifle, BR variant listed above, Needle Rifle, and LR is an obvious choice. The problems with loadouts generally stemmed from the choices other than primary weapon. That said, if everyone is only able to be equipped with a Magnum secondary and Frag grenades (allowing the Resupply ability to everyone) and had to scavenge for things like Armor Abilities, we could see more use in them. The absence of Plasma Pistol/Grenades at spawn would also allow vehicles to be more useful. With the only option being what primary weapon you spawn with, you can still have that sense of choice in what role you wish to play (choosing based on the effective combat roles/range of these weapons), but without the detriment of people being allowed to spawn with the N00B combo, Boltshot, or Plasma grenades (which were all the biggest problems with loadouts in general).

 

I also have some ideas for Armor Abilities, but will post them at a later time. What do you think of the ideas so far?

[Nazo]

i think the forrunner vehicle should be somewhat like a STAG vehicle from the game saints row. 

Thank god someone else was thinking it.

One would defeat the other based on what range the engagement was at. If anyone needs me to explain this idea further, I will promptly do so.

 

I like your ideas, and even like the thought behind this weapon. I see one problem though.

 

If the weapon is balanced as a 4-shot BR then scoped it would take 12 shots while scoped with perfect accuracy to kill an enemy. That is a cripplingly looooong time-to-kill. I suppose you could have it so that the bullet damage isn't equal round-of-ammunition for round-of-ammunition, but that just feels wrong. I do like the idea of damage ranges being inversely related though. It is not without merit.

 

I think a better way to do it, would be to simplify loadouts. Game-rules would decide whether it is Covenant, UNSC, or Promethian loadouts and just go from there. That way the faction weapons aren't directly competing with each other for dominance. You could have the LR behave very similarly to the DMR when scoped and the BR when unscoped, and it wouldn't necessarily be to the detriment to multiplayer. It could even be a boon; forcing players such as myself to use things other than the DMR and frag 'nades for once.

 

Of course you run into the problem of some faction loadouts being more popular than others... I remember voting for only the UNSC gametypes in Reach because I preferred the human weapons.

[A6ENT of CHA0S]

I have since rethought this idea and also came to the conclusion of simplifying loadouts, among other things. If you would like to see them, here's the link: https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postst221865_Halo-Xbox-One--How-to-Handle-Weapons-and-AAs.aspx I'd love to hear feedback from you, if you have the time.

What about a Flamethrower Warthog?......

[bowser6.0]

I think halo 5 multi player Dominion should have a anti Infantry auto base turrets in machine gun categories and auto anti Aircraft machine gun turrets so banshees and other air crafts can be easily brought down with one full wave of bullets. the stronger the aircraft the less damege the anti aircraft gun will do. but it will be good for bases that need protection.The more protection a base has the less likely it will be captured.

the option to also have auto turret upgrades for anti ground or anti air would be most appreciated.

the option to hold to guns at the same time will be great to-

Equipment:

 

-Anti vehicle Mine

•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.

 

 

Nice ideas but what if in the next halo 5 the aircraft went down and could be fixed by spartans. 3 or 5 spartans defend  the 2 people fixing the ride when it becomes operational you fly in used to be enemy pelican,phantom,etc.

[TheReach2134]

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.

that is if the flood even comeback to the campaign hope it does though

[spartan_j03]

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.

those are great ideas! i really like the one about the mammoths on a sandtrap successor, that would be AMAZING! like sandtraps big brother. can you imagine the chaos of like 32 on 32 (or even 16 on 16 if 32 is too much) flag cap matches on a level like that? *inhales deeply* beautiful....can you smell that boys and girls? thats how halo is supposed to smell.

[Nazmul Hoque]

YES, YES I DO now i know this is similar to star wars but it would be much fun (a lot actually) make  a space battle either vs against computer or online were one faction (covenant) vs unsc in space and have different scenario like a hanger bay in each ship (done in reach) and a control room leading any room ie a place wear u can remotely control turrets and also have like in hangers have were u could enter sabres or pelican(use for transport up to 5 people lets say) and enter the opposition (covenant) carrier/hanger and also maybe command or create a formation with computer(controlled fighters to make more kill in online) fighters and frigates also it could be stations or other stuff so overall have space and hanger fighting (also add new fighter jets and new Covent (halo 4) vehicles design having a massive space battle would be totally awesome and be a great game aspect. thanks

I, along with many others in the Halo Community, feel that the Light Rifle was far to much of a re-skin for it to have really been worth it's place in Halo 4. That said, I do like the concept, alternate firing modes depending on your situation, and it has a cult following now. I feel, that as we already have the BR/DMR Counterpart system, we should implement it for all the factions' utility precision rifles. While I have some Idea's for a Ex Prophet-Covenant or Storm DMR equivalent, This is dedicated to my Forerunner one, the Z-717 Molten Rifle. It shares a dual-fire mode system with the Light Rifle, but past that it is quite different. For those interested the most unique part, it's mode two.

 

Z-717 Molten Rifle:

A new Promethean/Forerunner weapon, this thing is very unique apart from one thing in that it shares a two fire mode system with the LR.

 

Mode One: Un-Zoomed:

 

This Weapons un-zoomed mode will have a magazine of 18 shots, it is also "Automatic" in the same style as the needle rifle or Hand Cannon. it fires at a rate of 0.23 seconds between shots but has a fair bit of recoil, it is a 6 shot kill. It has a minimum kill time of 1.38 seconds approx. Whats so special I hear you cry? you are about to find out...

 

Mode Two: Zoomed:

 

This is where the Molten part comes into it. It fires capsules of Molten Hardlight, the same stuff as the Incineration Cannon at the enemy, that upon contact, shatter and start dealing DoT damage to the  enemy Shields. When it fires a shot, another shot can be fired 0.3 seconds afterwards. If a player is hit by shot from the Molten Rifles scoped shot, they will lose shields at a rate of 70% per second over a 2 second period, so two shots have a 1.45 Kill time approx. when you fire two shots. When you fire a second shot onto player who has all ready been shot with the Molten Rifle, the 70% accelerates to 90%, but this only stacks once. this will break shields in 1.22 seconds approx. so three shots has a minimum Kill Time of 1.22 Seconds, but it is harder time your shots correctly, balancing the quick kill time. Bear in mind missing a shot can easily result in a quick death, it is a risk vs reward weapon.

 

 

This makes this weapon, when zoomed, far more efficient when ducking between cover, as opposed to strafing, and while you can be tempted to seek the quicker kill, it's harder to time, it consumes alot of your ammo, as unlike how the Light Rifle's system of 1 zoomed shot = 1 un-zoomed burst, 1 zoomed capsule = 3 un-zoomed shots. It adds a skill as to determining what kill time is more beneficial to your situation. The un-zoomed mode is hardly useless and is necessary for CQC defense , so can you risk ALL those tempting 1.2 Kill Times? Probably not. It's a thinking mans weapon, which adds alot more interesting tactics to an otherwise bloated and somewhat un-diverse utility precision rifle pool. If we had more diversity among the precision rifles, it wouldn't feel so bloated.

[Austin Proctor]

343 Industries should bring back the SMG.

 

[Vincent Likes Halo]

A long time ago, I made up this Forerunner 'dropship'. It kinda looks like a dragonfly. It could have a Promethean or a Librarian exterior, with the orange or blue-ish lights and stuff. The wings are basically Halos with orange/blue-ish bright glow in them. There are about 6 jumpseats in the tail section that close when there is little to no atmosphere. It would have these big bug-eye shaped pilot and copilot seats. I didnt really think of any weapon that could fit on. Maybe the one of the turrets that are on the Didacts ship. When you enter the ships cockpit, it overrides your HUD and replaces it with an orange Forerunner HUD. I havent named it, so thats up for discussion.

[hbijwhefciu]

there should be 3 vehicle classes, i for each faction: gunship, transport, and fighter

 

UNSC:

 

-pelican, heavy transport (reach version)

 

-sabre, longsword, shortsword, or broadsword, fighter

 

-hawk (Halo wars), falcon, hornet or something like this (courtesy of deviantart) for gunship

 

 

Covenant

 

-Phantom, heavy transport

 

-banshee or seraph, fighter

 

-vampire(halo wars) gunship
