Wort, Wort, Wort!

hit scan means the weapon hits your target as long as your cross hairs are on them(instant travel time)at least i think that's it.

hitscan = insta travel time = you aim cross over them, shoot, it always hit. i think

Oh! That would make sense since every time I would ever dare use a plasma pistol (or some other Covenant weapon) on somebody it doesn't connect from medium/long distance when my reticule is on them. Don't get me wrong here because I already knew some weapons didn't have hit scan, but I just didn't know they're was a name for something like that.

Many bulls encompass me; strong bulls of Bashan surround me;
they open wide their mouths at me, like a ravening and roaring lion.
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint;
my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast;
my strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to my jaws;
you lay me in the dust of death. -Psalm 22:12-15

Thanks for the info.

Those sounds sound awesome! But what is that last sound though??? Sounds like a charge up weapon almost like the spartan laser, yet it isn't the spartan laser. There are also a lot of explosions afterwards.

Um. Holy crap. What is that noise? Covenant mortar shells? Cant wait to get my hands on that!

I have a love/hate relationship with the new AR. Just have to see how it feels in the BETA!

HALO 2 FOREVER - M.I.A.

Yes i have a Twitter and yes i voice my opinion.

Not sure if it was found out but my net is bad so going through waiting for pages to load up of replies is not my cup of tea at this time.


My theory on the mystery weapon is sorta based on my experience to identify weapons. Being in the military i have a good sense of these things.

The weapon sounds like some sort of missile system. Like the missle-pod i believe it is a lock on type with a 4 round shot that creates an explosive range that would take out 2 maybe 3 worthogs end to end when firing at the front end of the first hog. I could not tell you if the weapon is hand held or vehicle based but by the way it sounds ... it could be turret.

This weapon if what i said here is correct would be the most powerful weapon short of the spartan lazer.


Also the sniper sounded like it did not zoom out when reloading so does that mean we can reload without having to deal with re-zoom?

I may have a clue on what that mystery sound weapon is. It could be the grenade launcher looking weapon the E.V.A. Spartan Emile was holding in the concept art images. By the way it sounds, it projects 4 tubes of some sort of grenade and by looking at Emile's armor, he has a lot grenades attached to his armor and those might be used in the mystery weapon. He's probably a grenade specialist and that could be his main weapon. That's just what i think, or it could just be some sort of new attached turret for the warthog bruh.

I'm just you friendly neighborhood killer!

Ok...I have to say the concussive sounds with the weapons...A fawking plus. I came rainbows when I heard the SFX for the Sniper Rifle. Mah baby now sounds like she can rip off your head and -blam!- down your throat (Yes...I'm a sniper.)

I bet, absolutely bet, that the "Mystery Weapon" is a Covie version of a Splazer. Bet.
