What is your favorite weapon in CMT maps.

[Masterz1337]

Just curious as to waht everyones favorite weapon is. Mine is definatly the Ma5K Assault Carbine. <3 The single shots for headshots, and the full auto mode.

[Amit]

Same reasons i picked MA5K

[dg]

Assault Rifle.

I still have yet to figure out why there is that "other" AR....



~dg945~

[Elite Killa]

Assault Rifle for me. I also like the AC (Assault Carbine) but not as much as the AR.

[Masterz1337]

Assault Rifle.

I still have yet to figure out why there is that "other" AR....



~dg945~
It does headshots and is alot more acurate, even more acurate than the pistol at long range.

[bleach]

i chose Ma5k, for some reason, i always use it the best, melee, grenade and short bursts! MA5K is my favorite.

[BobtheGreatII]

Plasma rifle owns close and long range. It seems more powerful.

[Teroh]

I love the MA5C because at medium range I can kill ANYBODY (except Masterz.. Grrr) It has a nice ROF, nice range, and a great melee at close range.

[BobtheGreatII]

LoL, Yea wtf Masterz, you were owning me today.

[n00b1n8R]

i like the h3 AR best.
then the spiker (asthetically, the lack of accuracy puts me of using it ingame..)
then the plasma grenade (love the new whatever you call it :D )

i love the animations, but the skin and boring model really let down the ma5k imo..

[DaneO'Roo]

uh.....care to make a better more accurate one, noob?

[ThatCrazyFox]

Ma5K is sex. Simple as that.

[JDMFSeanP]

If the spartan laser shot like Halo 3, it'd be my favorite, but by looks I'm choosing the MA5C

[zade43]

Ma5c - It packs alot more of a punch than the orginal Ma5b, which we have you guys to thank. Im sure that if i played with the Assault Carbine i would pick it... but i havnt yet.

[nooBBooze]

Just curious as to waht everyones favorite weapon is. Mine is definatly the Ma5K Assault Carbine. <3 The single shots for headshots, and the full auto mode.

?! theres a full automatic mode?

[TPE]

?! theres a full automatic mode?hold fire while reloading

was more powerfull but the ROF i think got toned down in the final

better + rep for that info ;(

[Arteen]

I love the flamethrower. Oh wait, that's not on the list...

It depends on the map. In Dissolution, the MA5C and Needler own the map. In Tensity, the sniper owns. In Fragment and Snow Grove, I like the BRG, MA5C, Needler, Pistol, and Sniper most. The shotgun is also a good weapon to have.

[t3h m00kz]

Definently the Assault Rifle, it's nearly exactly how I picture it in Halo 3... just, it's stuck in a crappy netcode xD But it's still the most awesome thing I've ever seen in Custom Edition.

Second would be the pistol with the new animations and whatnot. You've totally sexified that thing. Still a bit overpowered... if I could I'd vote on toning the thing down a little ;b Five or six shots maybe.

Third would be the shotgun. The way you redid it is the BEST... EVER!!! I love you forever for it.

Fourth would be the Assault Carbine. I don't know why, but the thing is just cool. The wierd firing rate is pretty intense in close range.

Fifth would be the Needler. The new reload animation for that just made me squeal.

Sixth, spiker. The animations are pretty sweet, and you sure pulled it off really well for as little as we know about the weapon at this point.

Seventh, spartan lazer. It's really powerful and does a CRAP load of damage, and as a really nice model, and the charging animation is really sweet, but It's kind of hard to control, and actually finding a use for it is difficult sometimes.

Everything else is just kind of... you konw, standard for Halo ;b

[Pooky]

You didn't put the rocket launcher in, so no poll answer for you. It was always my favorite thing before (ask people who've played me, I can rocket-snipe) and the new animations and sounds make it even more fun.

Second place goes to the new Plasma Rifle, though I don't like the skin that much it's a lot more useful now. Though, I don't feel like a total badass for getting kills with it anymore, since it's not practically useless :|

[Dole]

I love the flamethrower. Oh wait, that's not on the list...
Flamethrower had a lot of potential, but it seems too rudimentary at this point IMO.

I put the MA5C, although I honestly thought the display shaders from SPv1 were better.
That, and I'm waiting to see Doom's new model, and CAD's probably cooking up some fucking crazy animations.

[ImSpartacus]

hold fire while reloading

huh? i thought u just click the mouse to fire full auto. that'd be cool though, if u could change the fire rate on the ma5k.

how powerful is an ma5k shot compared to a pistol round? i think i could really like the ma5k if u put a scope on it, that would be awesome. its got a flashlight anyway, it needs a scope. u could make it shoo tsingle shots scoped.

[Hunter]

i like neraly all of them, i think the sounds and animations are awsome, espesily the assult carbine, wen he takes the clip of, those animations and sound go together good and it sounds and looks ace.

[AAA]

huh? i thought u just click the mouse to fire full auto.

Your finger okay? O_O

anyway, My favorite is the needler, now that is has better homing and a longer range of lock-on. It rocks:D and the MA5K rocks too.

[Hotrod]

Mine is the MA5K Assault Rifle, I like how it's accurate even at long ranges. It also looks and sounds cool.

[Amit]

It would be awesome if you could actually use the iron sights on the MA5K

[SPARTAN_025]

The AR is the best weapon for almost any situation excluding long range. Second best is the AC for its headshots. Comes in very handy.

[Pooky]

Your finger okay? O_O


All you have to do to go full auto is hold down the fire button for like one second... :eyesroll:

[bleach]

i have a question for CMT, could u please change the Spartan Laser reticle and ammo to the one from halo 3? It is in the Halo 3 Last Resort Beta Video at gametrailers.com

[Masterz1337]

we're busy finalizing stuff at the moment. We will make it just like h3 in h2v.

[Elite Killa]

we're busy finalizing stuff at the moment. We will make it just like h3 in h2v.
It'd watch it. I'd make a completely custom one if I were you (for Halo 3's sake...)

[bleach]

It'd watch it. What???
well anyways, ok, its ok CMT, i' was just suggesting the idea of having the H3 Spartan Laser. Well, i guess not..

[ImSpartacus]

Your finger okay? O_O


i knew that, but somebody said something different and i wasnt sure.

anyways, i like all the weapons, the needler is now usful, and the plasma rifle is godly (its like 3-4 shots to drop shields).

the brg is really fun and versitle, but it runs though ammo like theres no tommorrow (2 spare clips spawn, and 4 spares max? but the stronger H1 pistol still gets 10 spare clips as a max?). i also like how the ar is a solid close-medium range weapon, and ma5k has its own flavor, and specific uses.

[Roostervier]

The MA5C, it ownz the rest. No doubt about it. I can use it to replace my pistol, and I can use it to replace my smg(actually, replace any weapon), it does both. Tbh, it is too good of a weapon, but who cares, it ownz. Also, maybe the brg has less max clips because it does not require lead, making it easier to shoot, unlike the pistol.

[Love De Lux]

Shoty all the way !

I also like the Plasma Rifle who's really powerful, and the Plasma Pistol ( aka lol-pwnt-green-shit :p )

[ImSpartacus]

not as much as u would think. its still purdy hard to shoot, not as much as the pistol, but u only get 36 total bursts when u pick it up. even the 6 nades dont off set that. i think cmt should at least up the max allowed clips to something over 200. i can understand the spawn clips, but not the max clips.

Fixed that post for you...

[Pred1ator]

man looks liek the assult rifle wins again..did anyone bother to try the spiker melee n some one? its a good chance to beat campers :D

[Amit]

Fixed that post for you...

Thanks, i was wondering what he meant by 36 bursts when there are only 36 rounds to fire.

[Xetsuei]

MA5C > All.

[Dole]

..did anyone bother to try the spiker melee n some one? its a good chance to beat campers :D
I'm aware of that, but I'm not voting Spiker until it looks like this: http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/2789/spikerfinalfh7.jpg

[Masterz1337]

That's the spiker planned for h2vista, probably won't be in CE.

[TIA Gangsta]

I'm aware of that, but I'm not voting Spiker until it looks like this: http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/2789/spikerfinalfh7.jpg

That's the official Spiker from Bungie isn;t it? Eh..I'm surprised how much effort went into the blades and hinge. They're a very poor attempt for a smooth curve...
HD games are pretty much past those days I tihnk.

[Masterz1337]

That's the new cmt spiker... not bungies.

[Dr Jaul]

i gotta go with the BR. it just feels right. and the grenade launcher is a cool feature.

[TPE]

i like the BR but it good noobed up cause the nade isnt a nuke like before. you need >3 bars to kill with a BR genade

AR just pwns for me, i can burst fire the AR acrost the ledges in top fragment and get a kill

[TIA Gangsta]

That's the new cmt spiker... not bungies.

Ahh, I see. But Bungie's 3D model they released a while ago had the blocky blades also.

But the rest still looks totally awesome, you completely fooled me there xD

[Invader Veex]

I would have to say my favorite weapon would be the MA5K.

[I asked Masterz in RC2_snow_grove if I could make love to it. <3]

[Xetsuei]

Ahh, I see. But Bungie's 3D model they released a while ago had the blocky blades also.

Not very.

[coneman]

yeah umm

i only just signed up and saw this thread....
is it multiplayer maps or has the update for SP been released?

im probably posting this in the wrong section
BUT ANYWAY
i voted for the battle rifle

[n00b1n8R]

after abit of playing, i now say the needler is the most epic gun.

[t3h m00kz]

Is it just me or does it seem wierd that the Spartan Lazer hasn't gotten any votes D:

Same with the pistol The pistol looks so much sexier.

[ImSpartacus]

the pistol wasnt changed at all. now thats a good and a bad thing, but the fact that it wasnt changed will make it normal. u dont download cmt's maps if u want normal.

and the sl kinda sux. itll be better when cmt remakes it. i dont know if it would be that hard to put a 2x scope on it and give it 5 shots that kill everything in one burst rather than the slow and painful stream. i kno there are some other things that flip out when u pick the weapon up. those can be chnaged later if at all.

lol, even the sniper and shotgun got a few votes. the needlers is pretty fun to use, but it still isnt useful enough. the needler need to mvoe a bit faster and then it would be cool. u have to waste a clip on one guy the way it is now. and the reload time could be trimed a bit if the clip is gonna stay that low.

[solodude23]

I think the pistol should be changed. It is still one of the easiest weapons for me to use.

Realistically, pistols should be low on accuracy, power, and should not have a zoom. Its the opposite in Halo and it hasn't changed in CMT. The first step was great - beefing up and introducing more realistic, powerful rifles. Second step, tone down the pistol a bit. at least 50&#37; of the players use it as a primary weapon when it should be a SIDEARM.

[bleach]

ya, pistol should be toned down to 4 - 6 (to dissipate shield) and 3 - 4 (to finish it). Because whenever i play in like Fragment V2, i see more than 3/4 of every team carrying pistols as primary weapons, and it seems like it has autoaim. The pistol is my least favorite weapon also. Its just weird to me. :(

[squall2442]

I love the needler~ its darn accurate even when i have 400+ ping coz of the homing

[zade43]

you are forgfetting one thing you know... Halo is set in the year 2552 or somewhere around that.

[jedimas4]

i definitely like the ma5c, its power and accuraccy is top notch

[jedimas4]

also, zade is right, at 2552, who knows what they did to it to make it powerful

[solodude23]

you are forgfetting one thing you know... Halo is set in the year 2552 or somewhere around that.That dosn't make it right for a pistol to be more accurate than a rifle and more reliable for a primary weapon over a rifle. Going by your reasoning, because the year is 2552, all technology advances with sidearms but rifles go back in time?


also, zade is right, at 2552, who knows what they did to it to make it powerful
My point stands. (Going by the normal Halo, not CMT) They create a pistol that is incredibly accurate, has 2x zoom, and is powerful as hell. Oh then theres also this rifle, the Primary weapon for the Human forces; called the MA5B. It has a deviation of 17 feet when standing 10 feet away from a wall. Oh and it dosn't have zoom. It also isn't powerful.

It dosn't matter what year you are in, pistols won't be as accurate or reliable for medium-long distance warfare as rifles. This also defies the books. Realistically if the pistols behaved this way in relation to the MA5B in the Halo universe throughout the books, the MA5B would be the very last resort. Including paint ball guns.

You guys are not realizing my total point. I am not complaining the pistols are powerful alone, I am complaining they are powerful in relation to rifles.

[zade43]

Well, dont complain to us. complain to them, bungie. Lol...

[solodude23]

Well, dont complain to us. complain to them, bungie. Lol...I used bungie as an example, it wasn't my point to complain about it directly. I believe they fixed it sort of in Halo 2? Magnum replaces the M6D, and the Battle Rifle was introduced. I wouldn't know very much though, I have never played it much.

Anyway, CMT has done a fantastic job thus far with all other weapons, but the M6D remains unchanged.

I played some of the newer CMT maps for the first time a few days ago. The first map was snow groove. I went through every weapon on the map and the best thing I found was still the pistol, so thats pretty much what I stuck to. My secondary weapon was the MA5C, just in case. Its still a pretty damn gun but it still dosn't match up to the pistol. I haven't played Halo in a long time, but I came out first place a few rounds in a row, with only the pistol. A few people called me a hacker/botter throughout my play as well.

[Ki11a_FTW]

?? no option for smg

[jedimas4]

i dont see why we need the smg, since we have the ma5k and ma5c

[Amit]

^^^^^^That's my reason, I never really used it.^^^^^^

[Masterz1337]

i dont see why we need the smg, since we have the ma5k and ma5c
SMG is a great weapon. It has the highest ROF of any of our guns, a clip can take out an elite or brute, and for T&R it's great for covert ops. I use it in mp alot as well, at close range the only thing better is a shotgun or spiker.

[AeonSlayer]

^ agreed, but i still prefer the MA5C over it, just coz of that nice accuracy!! -- very nice gun now! :)

[solodude23]

The SMG will take out guys faster at close range over the MA5C though I believe.

[Ki11a_FTW]

to many rapid fire human weapons

[ExAm]

to many rapid fire human weapons

Agreed.

[Ki11a_FTW]

i think the Ma5K Assault Carbine should have not been added, since its so similar to the AR or, should have taken the SMG's place

[Masterz1337]

The Ma5K and AR are nothing alike, not is it even like the SMG.

[n00b1n8R]

more like a rapidfire pistol TBH.

[Jango Fett]

I like the sniper beacuse... I like to snipe things.

[keilg2]

I like the AR because it meats the 3 things you get from a weapon

1. weapon----the AR is a good all around weapon in terms of ROF and damage. Some think that the H3 AR's clip is too small but for me it is acceptable because it makes the game more fun. It makes you think "Ok how do i use #'s 2 and 3 to win.

2. Meele-----as long as it hurts and you can hit them its ok

3. Grenades-all seasoned veterans know this one

[Darkbiship]

I love the Carbine for CTF runs, it let's me have a god defense when I rush the flag, and I can quickly drop the flag fire a head shot then pick it back up really fast

[Ki11a_FTW]

The Ma5K and AR are nothing alike, not is it even like the SMG.

well in my opinion there very similar.

[Dole]

Opinions don't count. Facts do.

[Elite Killa]

well in my opinion there very similar.
Can you get headshots with an SMG? So how do you expect any of them to be alike?

[Varmint260]

I have to agree with Masterz that the SMG is a great weapon. My reasons:

When you're like me and can't be bothered to learn how to lead (there's a thing on the internet called Latency? NO WAI!) then the SMG makes a great weapon. The first time I played a CMT map without getting last was the other night when I stopped just chucking the SMG away and started using it on people who tried to get the flag. I got a ton of kills with it (okay, FIVE) and I even killed one guy who had a shotgun pointed at me from two feet away. Point is, the SMG is a great weapon for close range, and for inaccurate n00bs like me, the spray and size of clip means I can actually mow some people down.

However, out of all the weapons in the list above, I have to go with the MA5C, because it simply pwns. I'm not very good with the MA5K and I prefer something a bit less accurate with a higher ROF... plus the MA5B and MA5C just look good with a Spartan holding them. It's very much a Halo silhouette.

[solodude23]

well in my opinion there very similar.They are nothing alike...

[t3h m00kz]

I haven't really found a use for the carbine. The SMG is a full-auto for close range, the AR is a full-auto for mediumlong-long range, and the carbine.. well, tt seems kind of weak in comparison to the other weapons, and getting a headshot with it is kind of difficult. Don't get me wrong, I like the idea, the weapon is unique and well made, but a use for it? I haven't found one yet. ;b

[CtrlAltDestroy]

They're talking about the MA5K carbine.

[ExAm]

Sorry, wrong topic. Post deleted. I thought this was the H3 beta video thread for some reason :/

[=(KOH)=will]

i like the battle rifle because i can kill anyone with it. its so cool.:D

[Ki11a_FTW]

They are nothing alike...


idk lol theres to many rapid fire human weapons, and they all seem very similar in my opinion SMG being not that similar
Remove some Rapid fire weapns and add like a Covenant beam rifle and FLAK cannon, to give it more balance between sides, probly a lil to late now though

[ExAm]

What do you mean by flak cannon? Flak cannons have absolutely no place in Halo. They're for anti-aircraft use only. If you're referring to the Fuel Rod Gun, as I've heard it referred to as a flak gun before, (however idiotic, pointless and completely senseless referring to it as such may be, as it has nothing to do with flak at all), then that might be an idea. The mod needs something like it.

[Dole]

Yeah, it's the H2 FRC, Flak Cannon is the name of the extracted tag folder, just like the H1 FRG was called a plasma cannon in the tags.

[Ki11a_FTW]

well im used to looking at the tag folders lol
