I KNOW WHAT IT IS. in the renders section for Halo 2 there is a pic
of an elite jumping he is holding a plasam rifle and the color of the
wepon is yellow. it has to be that.

Needler, definitely a needler. You can tell by the wedge shaped muzzle.

needlers don't look like that its too big


Look how big the needler is... here.


yes but its close to the screen it could have caused distortion

Yeah it definatey looks like the back of a plasma rifle. But I am still puzzled by the fact that it is squared at the end.

The plasma rifle more rounded off at the end. And the barrel of what we see is very edgy (not sure if that is the right word to describe it), not smooth. As I said it goes down like this:

I have seen the new needler and that aint it. It is about the size and a little the shape of the needler but it is too angular to be the needler, the bottom is slightly angular without the curve. The big thing is the barrel, the needler barrel is strait and then it angles up. If it were the needler we would be able to see that angle, the barrel in this photo ends much like the carbine barrel does


Needler barrel:

\_/

Carbine barrel:

|_|

Look again at the photos, the barrels are slightly different in shape.

EDIT: Not to mention that the carbine barrel is much thinner.


exactly if you are looking at the side the barrel looks like this \__

in this photo we see it drop off not slant and drop off.


Whaaaa!?!?! Please explain farther, I don't quite understand what your saying (no, I'm not trying to be offensive). The end of the needler barrel curves like this: \_/ and the end of the carbine barrel just goes straight down like this: |_| just like the barrel of any modern day weapon.


Allright heres a pic to help. now the top left is what we would see if it were a needler barrel.
on the right is a picture of what a needler barrel looks like from the side the dotted lines shows where we are lookin from.
On the bottom on the left is what we would see in the disputed screen if it were like a carbine barrel. On the right is a picture of the barrel from the side with the dotted lines showing where we are looking from.

If you look back at the renders from Halo you can see that the Plasma Rifle and Needler actually do have sort of a rounded and flat/squared edge. It could be the way the light is hitting the object though which may cut of part of the rounded edge making it look like it is squared at those ends.

I admit the possibilties of it... but I think it is too long to be a plasma rifle.

The Plasma Rifle has fins coming off in the back, that's not the rifle

MY guess is needler.

  • 07.20.2004 6:19 PM PDT

But needlers aren't green!

It's in the shadows, so the green on the sheild is probably reflecting on the gun. I know that barrel, that's definitely the needler.

The jackal farther in back is holding a plasma pistol, look at it closer, the plasma pistols glow like that.

if it was reflecting off the shield, it would be on the jackels side too.

as i just said, if it were reflecting off the gun shield, it would be on the jackal as well.
