Yeah and I think CMT Dissolution or however it's spelled. But it shot yellow needle things that didn't home in and blow up.

Somehow I can imagine Marines inflating a grunt's head for the general use of a basketball.

Thank you, thank you sooooooooo much. This is the one of these 'weapon detail' things I've been waiting for. Not to say I loved the other ones any less.

PS: lovin the 3-D model.

bungie has proven that a bunch of monkeys sitting in front of keyboards can randomly type out a masterpiece. the thing is, when you go to play the masterpiece, you cant help but notice all the monkey s**t smeared all over it.

it gets real old having to wait months for someone like mlg to clean off all the monkey poo.

so whats the disadvantage? now we will have people running around dual wielding spikers instead of smgs, at least when people dualed smgs you could stay out of their effective range.

The shots travel mildly slowly for projectiles (look at the specs and the ViDoc), so expect a speed somewhere between plasma and bullets.

And there might not be any true disadvantage, since the brutes fire it in semi-auto in the ViDoc, but it has full auto. It doesn't seem to be very accurate though.

the speed thing reassures me a little bit. but they said it was relatively accurate over medium distances

Awesome update, Frankie! Hopefully, there will be more weapon information like this in the near future, or even a video! Dual-wielding with these Spikers are going to be insane, I can already tell.

P.S. Tear through flesch... really?

Very good update Frankie. Thanks for telling us about this weapon we've seen but know nothing about. The 3d module was very original and should use it more often or something to keep us awake. Still wondering about the beta, but it's your decision on when you tell us about it. When you going to show that one rifle carbine thing i saw the one brute chiefton have in the vi doc vid?

Lets not say bungie is revolutionary for making this new addition to their prodigy, but i am happy to see it is going to make it into the game.

Guys, I spake of the MC.
WHY WOULD THE MASTER CHIEF SHOOT A MARINE

my guess is that the brute attacked the marine and MC saved his but by killing the brute before it finished the job that makes the most sense

and i would aslo like to point out WHO CARES!? what difference does it make AT ALL?
