:::Lol yeah, that is literally just a second energy sword. Gotta get creative. Don't be 343i, sittin' up here copy pasting weapons and giving them a lil "orangey" flavor. Got to have something more unique. @Missing Mandible - that's just the UNSC giving the spartan laser more use. That's fine and dandy but that's not what I want to see. I barely even used the Spartan laser in Halo 4 - no kills with it whatsoever in MP (for a charge-up weapon, I prefer the [[ARC-920|Railgun]]- my favorite new weapon in the game). I want to see something like a pulse cannon or rifle that shoots powerful energy rounds that can shred through both shields and health. Maybe make it a weapon that must be obtained on the map, not something that players can start with.

::I agree it makes technical sense to start introducing energy weapons more widely, especially in space combat and heavy weaponry roles. But for personal weapons, I would think humanity would be more likely to stick with projectile weapons. We've known Covenant weapons were immensely expensive for a long while, and even if the UNSC can make them more effective, the effort and expense of replacing so many weapons would be immense. From an ''aesthetic'' point of view too, I think I would rather the UNSC stick with that kind of look than a more "advanced", sleek look - I always liked the contrast between the weird Covenant style, the elegant Forerunner look, and the UNSC's more robust, industrial visuals. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 23:14, 18 September 2013 (EDT)
