The repeater is pretty awesome since you can force it to cool down at will, which is the main reason why it was made (for MP uses) IIRC
Maybe give that ability to the PR? Or all plasma weapons?

The sword should explode like it did in the first game. The Hammer, I can accept. But I'd rather have shotguns go back to being a normal pickup that respawned every 30 seconds rather than stay a power weapon (Halo 2, 3, Reach = herp let's make all the useful guns powerweapons so that EVERYBODY will just spam AR and DMR fire derp!).
The concussion rifle is so damned annoying in the campaign. That and the explosive bolts that the dropships have. What were they thinking, giving explosive bolts to dropships? You have to go and hide for fifteen seconds whenever they show up because you can't dodge the shots; even if they don't hit you directly the splash damage is huge.
I think that was exactly the point. It makes sense for a dropship to suppress ground forces so that its troops don't get slaughtered upon disembarking the hold. What makes it the Concussion Rifle such BS is the way that the AI aimbots with it. Holy fuck, you can change directions mid jump and they instantly know exactly what you are doing. Those fuckers don't miss. Same goes for the fuel rod cannon turrets.
Making sense != fun. Fun = fun. Get it through your heads already, gaming industry.
I thought the Explosive Bolts of the Dropships made them more fearsome; in past games I saw a Phantom and thought "Oh wow, more troops." Now I see one and think "Oh crap, more troops and a mean-ass gun."
Why did they remove the Covenant Carbine? That weapon was so great in Halo 3. I wish they would've added it to all maps and would have kept it in the series.
No. No. No. No more DMR weapons. I want to have an excuse to keep the Plasma Repeater or Assault rifle on me in addition to the sniper rifle or rocket launcher. I am tired of always having to have a DMR + extra gun. They might as well have given everybody a DMR hardpoint and then one optional gun.
@Sever: I don't have an issue with the dropships. You just have to know where to run, when to jump, and what pattern of strafing to use. I still kill some of the troops as they jump out of the Spirit. The Phantom is and always has been BS though.
