New Weapon Requests & Ideas
I always want to hear new ideas and feedback. I'm totally open to your suggestions.
If there is a new weapon you'd like to see, share it with me here!

DISCLAIMER: I can't add any new weapons yet, because there is SO MUCH work to be done within the mod. I appreciate your understanding.

Thank you, and have a lovely day.

javelin launcher and the spartan laser from halo 3 :MCCHELMET:
-Add the Mighty Foot for the fist or knife that sends the tank flying (I mean, he is the Spartan).
-Spas-12 - double shot for alt-fire, capacity of 9, faster RoF but slightly wider pallet spread

-Alternating the pathway
-Breakable doors appear more often on the Pillar of Autumn and The Maw (maybe hidden rooms).
-Increase the enemy count and add more unique spawn locations. Something similar to the HAVOC mod, but fewer ally counts.
-Hidden weapon caches
-Crazed marines are scattered around the map where you wouldn't expect to find them on The Library, Two Betrayals and the Maw.
-PoA - progress the mission after killing Keyes.
-AotCR - Fireteam Zulu's Pelican is replaced with the Spirit and deployed at the bridge. An additional Scorpion tank is placed after the tunnel section if the first one is severely damaged.

chainsaw that stunlocks enemies and does a lot of damage
I would love to see some weapons from the original FEAR, namely the shotgun. Also love to see the DOOM Super Shotgun as well. I'd also love to see full on gibbing (like the actual corpse bursting into meat chunks and blood).
more commenly placed handguns
maybe an axe or baton

That, I can do for sure.

-PoA - able to progress after killing Keyes and all marines is mortal (increase the challenge to it.

Wild idea:
Port Half-Life 1 map to CE.

- I actually LOVE the idea of more breakable doors on the Pillar of Autumn & The Maw.
- At least 3 people now have suggested more enemies, so that may be added in certain areas. I do not want to ruin the original balance, or scripting so I must be careful doing that.
- Hidden weapon caches are a cool idea.
- I actually do have terrified marine encounters on The Library.
- You want the ability to go rogue and kill Keyes and everyone on the PoA? 😂
- I can't get rid of Fireteam Zulu's Pelican because I brought back cut dialog for it. That's part of my work on CE. But adding a Spirit encounter up on the bridge could be interesting! The gears in my head are turning.
- As for porting a Half-Life 1 map to CE: NO. Mapping in Halo is the most God awful task. I have done it in great detail for unseen projects, and I hate doing it. Sorry.

Thank you so much for sharing your ideas!

Man, a few people are asking for a chainsaw. 😭
It doesn't fit in the aesthetic of modern weaponry AT ALL.
However! I can think of a way to incorporate one.

I like the idea of weapons from FEAR, but I already made a SPAS-12 with full custom animations so that's done in my eyes. I'm not familiar with DOOM at all, but I just looked that gun up. I've considered adding a double barrel, sawnoff shotgun. But I never got around to it.

And I can experiment with making full on body gibbing.

Thank you very much for your suggestions!

I appreciate these ideas too. Baton has me slightly interested.

I think some Counter Strike weapons would be dope considering some half life stuff is there, preferably the 1.6 mp5 or dual berratas or even the AWP. super dope mod btw
First a small criticism, it seems a lot of weapons are identical in their feel and role (and thats ok!) but I mean we got like 15 different assault rifle variants to choose from but they are all kinda-sorta same-ish. As a quick tweak maybe try to make the scar the H variant and fire a little slower but more damage per shot, maybe DMR can have a variant like the Garand/M14 or FAL or some such, just SMALL (key word) tweaks to give them a bit more personality and "feel" other than style of sights but otherwise them all being "bullet hose #5". With that said, you did the AK absolutely peak, that I'll happily say. is you got the right feel for that being a little chunkier.

As for future additions, like I said the FAL or M14 as an precision battle rifle, a grenade launcher from M203 underbarrel to the Airtronic china lake style or Milkor M32. and lastly another shotgun or two to choose from like the Benelli M4, or of course the ever-classic AA12.

Lancer assault rifle from Gears, it has a chainsaw, and Halo Reach has a crossover with Gears of war already. Chainsaw desires fixed. (I have no idea how much work this could be) Great mod, had a lot of fun over the past few days.
The combine overwatch sniper if you know what I’m talking about
