3 levels

Charge up. You charge it like the plasma pistol. Charge up to 3 levels, and let go to shoot.

Level 1: Kinda wide electric beam. Blasts you away and depletes shields. Vehicles are highly damaged.

Level 2: Twice as wide of a electric beam. Direct hits kills. Destroys vehicles.

Level 3: Huge electricle beam. Effects are the damage of 3 rockets.
Each level's charge time is equal to a sprtan lazer's.
Thoughts?

Level 4: Ginormous "electricle" beam that covers the whole map and kills everyone not on your team. Damage effects are like those of ten shiva warheads.

Actually yes. Thats where I got the idea from. It would be a bunch of different factors that would make it different.

Metal slugs at extreme speeds. The current speed record is mach 7.

See you on the battlefield.

You have no idea what a railgun is do you? It doesn't actually shoot electricity, but rather uses an electric current to launch a projectile really fast and really far. What you describe sounds more like a modified version of the Lightning Gun from Unreal Tournament.

In Soviet Russia, Halo plays YOU!

An electromagnetic rail gun uses a powerful electric current sent through the 2 conductive rails that form the "barrel" to accelerate a conductive projectile to high speeds, much faster than a standard bullet from a firearm. Like Mach 5.

Like a more bad-ass version of a gauss cannon. Not an electric laser gun.

Or Tesla Cannon from Fallout 3.

and how!

Yeah....how about not...

Too overpowered. People would camp all the time and charge it to the maximum level and ruin the game.

MAC cannon is pretty much a rail gun, anyways I don't really like the sound of the weapon.

  • 11.13.2009 7:48 PM PDT

Message me if you want, I will try to get back as soon as possible.

See you on the forums and in the games.

First a rail gun doesnt shoot electricity. Also a rail gun uses a lot of things to operate...I doubt they make portable ones, anyways, I wold rather just call in a MAC blast or something.
