Okay, here we go 
.
I just had the idea for a good halo map where you can actualy use guns and not just turn into different units for different guns which gets borring fast.
My idea is to have arbiters around the edge of the map. You can recall your "shots" to where you want to shoot. When you recall it creates a cloaked wraith that moves toward where you recalled. Then if it comes across an enemy unit it blows up and damages the enemy. I'm not sure how you will damage the enemy (you might have "life points" that regenerate for the shield effect. This could be done by a death count, when you get hit you lose deaths, if it goes to zero you die.) I don't know how to encorporate the gunslap into it though
. I could do a civillian place that has becons for switching guns, gunslap, reloading, and actions like entering vehicles. You could have short cooldown times done with hyper triggers, and longer ones done with wait times. You could have a ammo bin that has your ammo, grenades, and viewing (if you recall it it moves an observer towards there where you recalled.) The grenades would go off after a certian time, and plasma grenades would stay close to people if they get near at one time. I'm not sure how I will do the gun triggers because if you shoot multipul shots at a time with different guns, it probably won't work. Another problem is that I want it to be multiplayer, so if you control your own shots they can be homming (I could make lots of move triggers towards where it is shot) but that is anoying and time consuming (so sue me, I'm lazy.) If I give all the shots to a computer, it will not "know" which shot is which. If you have ideas for my problems, please let me know. Also, I don't have Halo, so I don't know all the stats (I just play it at my friends a lot) so if you can give me a list of the guns and how many hits it takes to kill another person in the chest. Also, if you have any ideas let me know. 
Right now I'm working on Spider Mine Defence Enhanced, so I won't be able to work on it for a while.
Thanks!

That would be good for the rockets but a smg fires way to many shots way to fast to be represented as a unit movie (wraith)
Also the sniper rifle would lose its purpose being not so acurate at long distance
This is a cool idea it just needs some more work
