My head is going to blow if i dont play the beta

Then let it blow, you're not getting a beta because you asked for it.

That's the way it was last year in H3T. That was really weird having a pistol that fired a shitload of spikes at once.

I meant you could forget maulers and spikers and make a shotgun with blade(s). That way there would be no reason to be a sword on the map ...and I'm pretty sure no one wants a sword to Halo CE anymore.

a shotgun with blades would be kind of dumb.

i mean a blade and shotgun are both powerful only when its close range.
So why would you use a close range blade when you can simply blast them with the shotgun?

[Lateksi]

Well, you've got a point but a combo weapon like this could replace 3 less important weapons.

[Alwin Roth]

well still you dont really need the sword.

Plus if you do, then dont put it on a weapon that has close range

[NuggetWarmer]

Why not take away lunge? Sure, it's kinda the energy swords calling card, but still. Why not just make the secondary melee twice as strong as the normal melee, without lunge.

[Heathen]

Is there any way to make the melee animation fling you forward and then return you to the original position?

If I recall correctly, we are populating the map with a flamethrower in place of the sword. About the shotgun with blades, no. It's not going to happen, so don't discuss it.

Gearbox's flamethrower is not all that useful outside of highly specific situations, are you guys going to be balance tweaking this flamer any?

It all depends on how the future beta tests go and what we decide needs to be tweaked to make gameplay better.
