I'm in the production of making a new weapon and guess what it is. An alien shotgun, this probably isn't the first time this was ever done, but i just would like to see people's reactions and ideas or what ever. It is a battery powered, shoots alot faster than the human but will over heat after about 3 quick shots like the beam. The battery will be able to hold up to 25 shots. But all of this may change in the process. I would like to know if anyone would like to see this fully happen and playable. Please mention that, and please critasize my idea. (I thnk i spelled that wrong) I also have some drawings of the gun if anyone wants to see them.

If you can I could always use some help!

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

A Covenant shotgun? Sounds shmashing! I was happy to see a Covie sniper, so hey, why not another equivalent weapon. I'd help you if I could, but I don't know how to map/mod etc. Good luck on this project!

they could have made it a little better.It's not exactly equivalent.So if they decide to make covie shotgun just hope they dont downgrade like they did with beam rifle

You obviously know how to edit, why not just edit your first post instead of double/triple posting?

Alien shotgun is an idea that's been had all over the place, in the form of energy sword usually. Anyway, if you have the ability to make such a weapon, go for it.

Wow...I had never heard of a double pm before...but I have now...

To get links in your sig try taking some time and looking around before posting every 0.32532 seconds.

I for one would love to see your drawings of your idea. It would also tickle me pink if you were to model the Covie Shotgun after this weapon:
One
Two
Three
Pfhor
Five
Six
Seven
Eight
Nine

I'm almost done modeling the gun and was wondering what kind of colors and textures should it have. I was thinking of going with a purple or blue primary color like the plasma rifle or could have the red color texture from the brute plasma rifle then i would have the secondary color be that green color thats on the carbine and that would touch up the shotgun with allittle bit more detail. So what are your sugestions on that?

Interesting. Perhaps they'll have a Covenant version of the shotgun in Halo 3? Much like the Carbine and the Beam Rifle, which are the Covenant counterparts of the battle rifle and sniper rifle.

I know on CE there's a shotgun that's purple and it fires needles from the needler. It's pretty cool. Maybe make it after that, but imporve on the design?

HINT HINT! The Covenant don't do projectile weapons!

"LAWL WHUT BOUT BRUTZ?"

This is Halo 1. Besides, the Brutes are recent additions to the Covenant and brought their own weapons. If you're making a "Covie shotgun," it better be modeled to look something Brutish and only wielded by the Chief or a Brute.

Either purple/pink with blue highlights(glowing areas) and holo-displays or blue with pink highlights and holo-displays. Also make it have blue-white projectiles and muzzle flashes.

Guys if you want to make this look really good i could use some custom stuff like maybe someone can make custom bullets and someone makes custom muzzle flashes and all different textures. Once a put my pictures up you'll get a peek at what it's going to look like and then let your imaginations grow.

And the spiker isn't sappose to be like the alien shotun.

the spiker is the covie shotgun. its messed up, i kno, but thats the shotgun for them. it doesnt function liek a shotgun, but it doesnt really have to to be an equivalant.

its purdy close whe nu think about it. innaccurate over long ranges, and its very capable of putting out a spray of rounds, believe me. in close range it is god. but it keeps its own identity also. its spikes can bounc earound corners, and do a bunch of other -blam!- too.



The new Brute Spiker is based on the Halo 2 SMG. Don't you read updates?

Im bringing this back, but I'm almost done. I'll tell you why I havent finished it yet is bc I put it aside for awhile. But now that i'm back to finish what I started I need help wth animations and would like some cool animation ideas. Keep in mind that the gun is battery powered, over heets, does not have a blade in front for wacking. That is all I can think of at this moment but i'm looking for some awsome ideas.

  • 04.12.2007 1:25 PM PDT

Slaying noobs since 2007.

What projectiles tags are you using with it? Oh and If you want to make it resemble the other covie weapons then you should probably use either a needler or plasma round as your base and build around that. What do you think of that?

Covie Shotgun = Energy Sword

Covie Shotgun = Energy Sword

The energy sword is sappose to be the equvalent of the shotgun, you don't have to make your self look like a fool because everyone knows that. I'm basically just trying to make a new covenant weapon that shoots a shot that has multiple projectiles in one shot. Does the sword do that? .....No it does not, so that is why I am making this gun.

And for what projectiles it is going to shoot out:

I was thinking of maybe a few plasm shots, but it would not look good if the shots were all the size of the plasma rifle because they are to big. To make it work I thought of making the plasma projectiles probably the size of the human shot but would have like a red spark/ashes look to it so it looks like a small red plasma pellets.

Judging by the responses in this thread, there is quite some confusion as to what the Covenant equivalent of the Human shotgun is. I'd say the confusion exists because the Covenant have no cut-and-dried equivalent. Sure there are weapons that are close (ie. Needler, Energy Sword, Plasma Pistol) but nothing spot on.

Non-tracking Needler rounds, perhaps?

That would be awsome if you could do that for me.
leave your screen name or anything of that nature that I can talk to you from. If you want to go all the way I can send you some images of what i have done so far and my plans for the gun.

and Tango im looking for something that hurts on impact but im saying a plasma projectile that was smaller and red if you can have like ash flame thing coming off of it that is pretty small. the projectile would have to a fster fps than the plasma rifle.
