Ok if you make this new sniper rifle, handle like a turret, how would that work? what if you made it like an overlarge rocket launcher? You call it a sniper yet want it to function like an inaccurate turret? If it has ranged capabilities you must make it range compatible. if you made it a turret then the character could possibly hoist it up on his shoulder, or carry it like the energy beam from lost planet. When you fire the energy rifle in LP you have to kneel to steady the gun and resist the kick from the coils itself. Ammo: ten shots sounds reasonable enough, kind of like the missle pod just different functionality. When creating new weapons, everything must be taken into accountability. Function, innovation, reservation, and distribution.

when i say like i turret i mean he carries it like one, such a powerful weapon shouldn't be carried just as easy as a battle rifle, it should slow your pace when u walk, well actually u could possibly make it a normal weapon, considering Johson carried it, for a spartan it would be 2x easier

It should replace the spartan laser.

Make it almost a Hitscan weapon.

Heavy damage vs Vehicles, ~ brute shot Area of Effect.

Make it bolt action, fires as fast as if you fired a burst from a BR, and reloaded. Once it reloaded, you could fire the second shot.

5 shots reserve, no magazine (think Gears of War sniper rifle)


i like that idea

good point, i dont think the spartan laser existed during reach battle anyway, did it?

they could use it just tweak it.

only 4 shots total,

1 hit kill on small things like mongoose or ghost, and two hit kill on normal vehicles like hog, chopper, and prowler(maybe spectre?) and flying vehicles.

make it 4 shots to kill a tank and wraith.(PS: the normal gauss turret it takes 13)

and make it have long reload times, about 4 seconds

the pros over the SPARTAN laser would be no charge, and longer range.

PS: make the SPARTAN laser without a scope.




But Truthfully it is to late in development to incorporate a Brand spankin' new weapon into a games thats nearly finished
