Best Halo weapon sandbox?
Although I love CE's weapon sandbox and I consider it to be one of the best in the series, I'm actually gonna go with Reach on this one.
I just loved the Pro Pipe. And the Concussion Rifle. And the Needle Rifle. And the Focus Rifle.
I miss the Pro Pipe and Focus Rifle.
-
I enjoyed 3's the most.

6 RepliesHow the flying -blam!- is this even a competition? Reach blows EVERY other game out of the water! -blam!-ing CE only had 8 weapons for -blam!-s sake!
-
I enjoy Halo 4's Sandbox simply because every weapon has a purpose. A role. Unlike Halo 2/3 where you have half-assed weapons that aren't even touch half the time. Plus, the inclusion of Promethean weaponry is awesome.
-
CE. Maybe the best weapon balance in a game ever. Each weapon had a role, but also disadvantages. 2's dual-wielding messed things up a lot, plus Brute Plasma Rifles. wat Even more redundant Brute weapons in 3. Reach had a lot of asymmetry in the UNSC/Covenant division, making some of Invasion unfair. 4 had some great stuff, but the Forerunner sandbox had a lot of missed potential.
-
While I still say that Halo:CE is the best in the series, I voted Halo 3. Only because they took most the weapons from the first two games and preferred them. Minus of course the pistol.
-
Halo CE. The game where someone with a plasma pistol could fight against an AR user and win.
-
CE, Reach, 4 were all good.
-
CE > 4 = Reach > ODST >>>>>>>2 = 3 -CE was the best, every weapon had a role and all were usefull -4 had a better overall sandbox than Reach. However, things like the GL, PL and FR bump it up to equal standings -ODST is included because the dual wielding removal buffed weapons like the spiker and the silenced weapons. -2 and 3 were horrible. Poor balancing, redundant half weapons, useless automatics ect.

1 ReplyCE had a wonderfully clean-cut sandbox, but the Halo 2 sandbox intoduced so many weapons we now know and love (well, for the most part).
-
It's got to be CE, everything had a purpose. Every other game in the series has at least a few weapons that are almost completely useless.
-
1 ReplyHalo 2, duel needlers were an experience even if they werent exactly great.
-
Reach was my favorite. It introduced a lot of fun weapons to the series. The Concussion Rifle, Plasma Launcher, Needle Rifle, and Grenade Launcher were all great additions.

Edited by The Random: 10/21/2013 2:35:31 PMThis is incredibly hard. Halo: Combat Evolved=Halo: Reach>Halo 3=Halo 2>Halo 4 -Each weapon in Halo: Combat Evolved was very useful, while Halo: Reach had the greatest variety/amount of weapons available. -Halo 2 and Halo 3 had duel-wielding, which was incredibly awesome. But there were more useless weapons (Like the Plasma Pistol in Halo 2 and the Magnum in Halo 3) than in Halo: CE and Reach. -Halo 4 had awesome Promeathean weapons (All except for the Boltshot), but the Covenant arsenal wasn't really fun to use. The only good addition to the UNSC arsenal was the Rail Gun.

3 RepliesCE, no weapon was useless.

CE and 4, without a doubt. But CE is the top dog here. ODST managed to [i]hugely[/i] improve Halo 3's rather awful sandbox by tweaking some of the weapons, note how all the titles I've mentioned so far as having a balanced sandbox have no dual-wielding (you'd almost think that there's a pattern there). The Spiker got a damage buff so it became a suitable alternative to the SMG if you ran out of ammo for it, same with the Mauler in comparison to the shotgun.
-
The focus rifle was cool but sucked [i]tremendously.[/i] I'm really glad 343i brought back the beam rifle. OT: Halo 3 was my favorite because of all the weapons you could dual wield.

1 ReplyHalo 2 introduced two very enjoyable weapons, the energy sword and brute shot. And nixed the unbalanced Assault Rifle in favor of the SMG.

5 RepliesEdited by PandaJerk007: 10/21/2013 5:00:18 AMThey've all had a really nice weapon sandbox, but CE, Reach, and 4 have had the most well rounded imo. Those are also the games without dual wielding, so I think that probably helps. (Although I would like to see the return of dual-wielding, but with some kinda big changes)
-
Either CE or Reach. CE has nothing but useful weapons, and Reach was very balanced, in my honest opinion.
-
2 RepliesCE. Cleanest sandbox with no useless weapons. Everything had it's purpose.
-
Edited by A Metroid: 10/21/2013 4:46:26 AMCE, every weapon actually feels like it works.
-
Halo 2, it introduced a lot of fun weapons, like the Energy Sword or Brute Shot.
