Correct me if I am wrong, but dont the human and alien weapons seem to have shadows of eachother that are all the same. For the battle rifle, the carbine. Yay, the carbine has the same traits as the rifle. Where is the fun in that? I want to see more innovation on each side instead of mirrors of the other weapons. I like the needler and the plasma rifles, and the plasma pistol, but the new ones are kind of boring. And why is there a flower on the carbine? Anyways, I know Bungie is smart and will do whatever they think will make the game great, but really, I do hope they get rid of that flower. Also, I dont think that the weapons suck i just wanted to people off.

Play as a team win as a team or die as a team!


"U just wanted to people off" wtf does that mean?! And yeah there will be different weapons and more that Bungie hasn't showed us yet so just wait and there will be weapons that are the same and very different.

You haven't even seen the Covenant Carbine in action, we don't know if it does the three round burst of if it's a single firing weapon.

Is it any wonder if it works similarly to the battle rifle when the Covenant were supposed to have tried creating a weapon to degeat the Battle Rifle's power? The flower, who knows, maybe that's a built in battery meter. We haven't seen the HUD yet.

Halo's weaponry is very well done, each weapon is simple without all the complexity that some of the new games are coming out with. It's annoying to fiddle with firing selectors and mutliple modes.

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

Have you played the game? No, you have not.

Maybe rather than wanting to kill the mods, you should just cut the crap and act like other people, normal. I don't want to hear any of your bull.

Let's not forget the the Covies take ideas and copy them. Perhaps that's why the weapons seem like eachother to you.

Perhaps we should all stop our bickering about what the weapons seem like. Perhaps we should just save our judgements until we actually play the game? Don't say things suck until you actually try them. Saying it only shows ignorance.

*nods in agreement*

The weapons we saw in the demos were......*cough* place holders *cough*...... just like the HUD.

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.

You like the Needler and its equivalent is the SMG. They will be similar in purpose (ie good for close combat), but will have very different ways of accomplishing it.

I have a question that is kinda off topic. Bungie introduced the Covenant Carbine and it has been said that it is an approximation of the Battle Rifle. I seem to remember reading that the Carbine also scopes out (2x) like the BR and Pistol, however, I also have read about a Covenant version of the Sniper Rifle. Is the Carbine what they were speaking of or is there going to be an actual Covenant SR? I haven't read anything that clears that up and was wondering if anyone else had. Opinions are ok, but I'm really looking for hard facts...which, when dealing with Bungie, are extremely hard to find. Just curious...

Have you read the Xbox.com Spring Guide. In there they talk about the Carbine, then next paragraph they begin saying Covenant Sniper Rifle as being comparable to the Human Sniper Rifle. They even describe the shots from the Covenant Sniper Rifle. I think both will be in.

the flower thing is a scope
and who know? maybe the carbine will be more like the ar?
the covenant are copying are technology, hence the covie sniper and carbine.
The new brute weapon looks like it may be cool and new and different.
as does the -blam!- plasma sword
Do the covenatn have a homing rocket launcheer? or a shotgiun? all weapons aren't just mirrors.
so, don't be a dumbass,
dumbass
