I do not like that idea. Giving people a noob tube for preordering is silly.

i do not like it

That would give a disadvantage in multiplayer to those who don't pre-order.

" Don't you want to get your money's worth out of pre-ordering? I felt kinda ripped off with the Johnson pre-order for ODST because it wasn't anything different. "

Grenade launchers in Halo!?

No, that would be incredibly stupid. No one should ever have advantages in multiplayer because they pre-ordered a game. That is a good way to ruin the experience for a lot of people.

So you are asking whether or not it is a good idea to give people a weapon that they can't normally get if they don't preorder the game? No. Also where are you hearing about this because you say this is hypothetical yet act like it's been announced.

Pre-Order  bonuses are dumb. 

"Wait, what? You have to pay $10 extra when pre-ordering? Something sounds wrong here...  Reskins are the only things they really ever give for preorders, cause anything else would usually cause an imbalance in multiplayer. "

" Don't you want to get your money's worth out of pre-ordering? I felt kinda ripped off with the Johnson pre-order for ODST because it wasn't anything different. "

Pre-order bonuses (especially ones that infer an in game advantage) fucking suck. /thread

I get ripped off for preordering all the time...wait...what? New weapons for multiplayer should never be an exclusive. I'm not attacking you or anything, but noob tubes in multiplayer are always dumb. Add em in singleplayer...ehh..ok.

Don't pre-order then.  "

that's the most retarded thing i've ever heard of. 
1. noob tubes are stupid and too powerful 
2. giving anyone an advantage in Halo multiplayer is retarded because in Halo everyone starts out on a level playing field. This isn't CoD where people can start with different weapons that have different strengths. Giving a clear advantage to people who preorder has to be one of the most retarded things i've ever seen written on the internet.

I don't know where you are pre-ordering from, but that isn't how it is supposed to work. You never pay extra. You simply put $5 or $10 down towards the total cost, and then pay the difference when you pick up the game.
 
You are being ripped off.

i hate preorder bonuses because where i live there is no place to preorder so bad idea

No. 
 
And pre-ordering is just a $5 down payment on a game.  It's free. 

No. No pre-order bonus for reach. Reach shouldn't have a grenade launcher either, just a rocket launcher.

wut?

What a SHIT idea . Keep your noob tubes and go back to MW2 .

You don't have to pay to pre-order or put a down payment.

Hate it.
I don't particularly like pre-ordering so I generally hate anything that makes me feel like I should.

In single player maybe, but only if it's like a unlock now or three hours into the game then get the grenade launcher.

Hell no

Absolutely not. Giving in-game perks to people who pre-order games is a horrible trend that needs to stop immediately.

*ugh*  Because more noob tubes in games is OBVIOUSLY what we really need... 
 
/facepalm

No, that's insane. Pre-orders should never give competitive advantages to certain players in my eyes.  

I hate pre-order bonuses which change the game in any non-aesthetic way and there are few ways you could make it any worse than giving those who pre-ordered the game a highly powerful attachment to the base weapon of the game. I do not want a game which turns around and says to me "because you weren't able to pre-order, you are being punished by getting owned by every guy in the game who did pre-order". No offense to you personally but this is one of the worst ideas for additions to a game I've ever heard.

"No, that's insane. Pre-orders should never give competitive advantages to certain players in my eyes.   You know what else is insane? Wanting Halo to include a noob tube. Why would you want this? I don't even-  "

Oh, dear me. The intelligence level of some of the people here... "

If I had no intention of actually playing the game it would be fun the see the EPIC shit storm this idea would create. But no. This idea is bad and you should feel bad.

No No No No NO NO NO NO NOO NOO NOOO NOOO NOOO NOOOO NOOOO NOOOOO
 
WTF is wrong with you? How is that in any way fair? Oh great just because I didn't preorder the game you get to run around with a fucking grenade launcher on your weapon and I can't, No sir No thank you, I am all for stuff like the Cerberus Network to get people to buy the game new but that is a single player game, if you wanna offer a bunch of skins or stuff that really doesn't mean to much that is fine, but NOTHING that affects gameplay. Long cat does not approve...

I can't believe people still care about halo.

Horrible idea.

" Say that if you were to pre-order the game that you would get a code that would give you a secondary granade launcher attachment on the bottom of the Reach AR. You could use it in the campaign and multiplayer which would give alot more reason to pre-order for an exclusive weapon instead of an armor reskin like in ODST. Do you agree with me? "

No. In-game pre-order bonuses are the cancer of the gaming business.

YEAH!!!!!
 
.....No.
