H3E fundamentally rethinks aspects of Halo 3's sandbox to better reflect modern critiques of the classic game. The most Important change is a massive increase to player HP (not shields) which allows players more breathing room to express themselves and take on more enemies at once. Certain issues H3's multiplayer contained (such as weapon spread and viability) were focused on first, with experimental and unique weapons retooled later.
Examples include:
-Assault Rifle with a ramp-down firerate and grenade launcher (Grenade launcher is activated by holding down secondary trigger)
-Brute plasma rifle retooled into an ion rifle with astounding firepower
-Ricochet Rifle for maximum chaos in enclosed spaces
-Carbine having a charge up firing mode for a less efficient kill option
-Sidekick-inspired magnum that can be held in the third weapon slot
-Battle Rifle taking notes from CE by increasing the skill required for usage and amping up the reward for proficiency
-Spiker becoming a pseudo-power weapon that can pierce personal shields
-Speed boosted SMG with bonus health damage and max spread
-Mauler changed into a mobility tool of extreme potence
and more.
