I know what the ladies like.

Suggested ideas for a name: Shard launcher, Perforator, Seeder, Crystallizer, Duster, Mist Mortar (Mister), lacerateor.

some of sound like real street drug names.

cool idea but the concept art is trash


hey have you ever tried modeling on the computer? It takes more time than you probably would have to give you snotty ungrateful child.


What he said.


Given those concepts only took about 20 minutes, I'm satisfied with the result. Go download blender, time yourself for 20 minutes and build a better concept before talking, or spend 5 minutes doing a drawing like the original concept but better.

Nobody else has an opinion? Ironic.


How is that ironic?

Of Course I will help you beta test your sweet software :3.

A nice post, the shape of the sketched one, reminds me of one of the silhouettes of the 'piece of paper' found on the floor in ODST.

There are two things on this forum that piss me off;
Idiots and group invites.
What's even worse, is that I can never seem to get away from either of them ¬_¬

"I would have been your daddy, but the dog beat me over the fence."

Meh, they seem alright. But the first weapon, the giant needler, already exists.

It's called a heavy needler. While they're only seen on turrets and vehicles in Halo Wars, one of the books hints towards a and held version. Nevertheless, no one really knows what it does except that it excels at taking down vehicles.

By the way, there isn't really any negotiation with the name. It's the Heavy Needler, it's not gonna change.

The part about a heavy needler is true. It was in Halo Wars and was called a heavy needler. However, the infantry weapon is different and more mobile. I don't think the name Light Heavy Needler will catch on. There has to be a middle ground.

Yeah, the mobile version was called a Heavy Needler too. Like how Banshees bombs, AA-Wraith cannons and Fuel Rod cannons are all pretty much the same weapon, just mounted differently. In the end, they're still collectively known as the fuel rod cannon, no matter whether it's vehicle mounted or hand-held.

But do we call all of them the fuel rod cannon? No. They fire the same ammo the same way, but the way they are mounted lets us call them different things, like banshee bomb.

True. I can't really think of a catchy nickname for it in that respect though >_<

In Halo Wars, Heavy Needlers were Anti-Air weapons so I could see this being a new arm mounted cannon for Hunters for use against aircraft.

That makes complete sense. Although I would love to weild a new weapon, the power of a hunter version would be a new reason to fear them. It would also make air-to-ground combat in the caimpaign more fun, as it would be a faster projectile for the Covenant

That does seem very reasonable. Especially if you can rip the Hunter's arms off, and use them as impromptu turrets :P
