Well everybody, this is my first forum, so don't be surprised if I don't do it right. Anyway, this one will be about the weapons in Halo 3, because I know that there are quite a few things people want to discuss about them.

Let's start off with the Brute set of weapons. Obviously, the Brute Shot is coming back, which is very good, in my opinion. I liked the Brute Shot a lot in Halo 2, because the melee attack was just as strong as a sword attack, and the grenades could bounce around corners and hit enemies instead of having to charge right at them, which is very helpful if they are in ghosts. How do all of you people feel about the Brute Shot?

Next we'll go to the spiker, which I think will be pretty cool. Instead of just having a red version of the plasma rifle for their rapid fire weapon, they actually get their own type. And with the same kind of melee device at the back as the Brute Shot, it probably has a strong effect. Once again, what do you all feel like about it?

Now, we move to the spike grenade. This is the only probably the only Brute weapon I think won't be very good. Yes, it does have the ability to adhere to walls and other beings, which is much like the plasma grenade, except for the walls. Even though it will probably have a much greater range and higher damage rate than the plasma, I just don't think it will really be all that useful. Please give me your opinion on this weapon.

I am going to address the plasma cannon seen carried by a brute very briefly, because nothing has truly been confirmed about that. If Brutes do end up carrying those around in game, it will make the brutes a little harder to kill, which will make it more interesting. That's all I can really say about it now, though, so if you want to comment, go ahead, but I really don't need your opinions on this one.

The hammer. The old, annoying, hammer. If we are able to wield the Brute hammer, in Halo 3, that will be quite interesting. All it is is a giant, really strong melee weapon, but if Bungie balances it enough, it would probably end up being a pretty good weapon to have in Halo 3, in the campaign mode at least, but in multiplayer, it would probably end up being like a super powered sword from Halo 2, with infinite ammo, and all. But if they balance it enough in the campaign mode, and don't even put a reticle on the screen(because a reticle for a hammer would just be wierd,) it would probably end up being pretty good, but only in campaign. AGAIN, please give me your thoughts on this.

If you have any other comments on this, or if my info is wrong, then just tell me and I'll modify it as soon as possible. I'll soon be doing 2 more entries under the same subject, Halo 3 Weapons, and one will be on other known covenant weapons at this time, and the other known human weapons. Anyway, please leave any comments that you have.
Thank You and, once again, Happy New Year!!!
