平和と愛

ZOMG LEEKS! I totally love everything that was thrown at our faces in this Weekly Update. I also got what I wished for: the sounds of the weapons. And for some reason, I suppose that mysterious-bad-ass-weapon has the word 'nuke' in it somewhere.

Somewhere out there... in an alternate reality... Marty decided to stay in the ad jingle business, bringing about an age of amazingly orchestrated Pampers commercials.

That mystery gun is reserved for Oonsk!

Be not afraid of greatness; some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.

The new weapon sounds like a plasma grenade launcher.

  • 01.29.2010 8:08 PM PDT

If the sound design is anywhere near as good as BF:BC2, it's going to be amazing. From the sound of it, it will be.

"Seems to me you should spend less time on that article and more time working on that novel you've been working on!!!"

This was an epic climax to a great week of information! Those audio clips were fantastic, especially the last one, that brought a smile to my face.

And the new airship= teh sexy.

Great update! Still no beta date though...

Nice post, thanks for all the sounds!

Can you please, oh dear please, not send me ANY RANDOM GROUP INVITATIONS. You will be blocked.

By far the best update I have ever read.

I wanna say that the weapons sound unbelievable, the echo and reality of the sound is just amazing. Good work sound team.

Is the last weapon perhaps a lock on missile like a Javelin?

LET IT BE

The mystery gun charges four shots, the first one going in as soon as you pull the trigger. once the four shots are "loaded", you hear the beep say they are ready to fire. When you fire this weapon, the shells/plasma archs into the air, and while in the air is then armed, at which time hits its target and explodes.
It is most likely a bigger version of the fuel rod cannon. I fyou remember, when you fire the Fuel Rod, it shoots a small projectile that for a short period is not deadly at all, and in fact bounces off of anything it hits, then less then a second later is "armed" to explode on contact.
This is similar to that, only, my guess, is used for an attack at long range, a sort of barrage, if you will.

my only confusion is the fact that you hear the sound of the projectiles as if you were right next to them the entire time, even after being fired. it might be because they play the sound clip in its native state, without the illusion of "perspective", so you hear every part of the sound effect before its put into the game world.

i am confident in my prediction.

something else that it slightly reminds me of, is the weapons used the variant of the wraith tank, that basically rapid fired Fuel Rods, using them as Flak. This could be a small, personal version of such a thing. so going off of that theory, i predict, in multiplayer games, this will essentially replace the Missile Pod (or the Covenant version of it) for anti air/ground vehicles, but i could be wrong in that belief.

Halo never gets old.

The sound of the mystery gun made me a little wet in the pants.

Sound and the Fury

I'm reading that book

  • 01.29.2010 8:54 PM PDT

Will test for snacks!

KOTOR. JOIN.

Darnit, was hoping for some clarity on the Noble callsigns... Guess it's too early to ask for that anyway. That's okay, now I'm more determined than ever. YOUR SECRETS SHALL BE MINE, OR IT IS DEATH BY BUNGIE FOR ALL OF YOU!

*ahem*

Carry on, gentlemen.

  • 01.29.2010 9:03 PM PDT

that's what i think as well

  • 01.29.2010 9:06 PM PDT

Wort, Wort, Wort!

And the mystery gun is likely to be the needle rifle: the first part is the spinning disk that shoots the needle starting to spin(look at renders to see disk on needle rifle) and the explosions are the bl4mite needles exploding.

  • 01.29.2010 9:18 PM PDT

Forgive me for sounding like a n00b, but what are "hit scans?" Plus, how do you tell which weapon has "hit scans" and which don't? Thanks.

  • 01.29.2010 9:18 PM PDT

ISU Cyclones!

Awesome, informative, entertaining. Everything I'd hope the update would be.

As for the mystery weapon my guess is a covenant mortar system.
