Got pork?

You obviously haven't met my younger brother then.

So me and my friends watched E3 live and of course straight after watching the Halo trailers we needed new trousers, but today I watched the Halo 4 trailer again and I noticed that the Magnum he uses to shoot the door out isn't actually a Magnum. Did anyone else notice this? Has there been any news on it? It looks like a totally new weapon to me! Anyways I just wanted to see what people think of it, voice your opinions I'd like to hear!

A link to the Halo 4 trailer

You noob go frag yourself

It looks like a smaller verision of the pro-pipe.

  • 06.07.2011 9:02 AM PDT

The projectile he shot exploded. Yeah, thats not a regular magnum shot. You just now notice this?

  • 06.07.2011 9:02 AM PDT

I DO have time to bleed...i just dont want to.

i think its ither a new virant of the m6 magnum or a modified version. and his armour looks different too whitch i dont get because how could he chainge his atmour if he was in cryo sleep cuz the sholders look different

Stupid ass washing machine...

I captured a still and zoomed in and you'll see that on the end of the "Magnum" - which looks like a larger M6G - there are two or three "prongs" which are presumably there to slip the projectile onto and keep it in place.

Anyone else notice that or am I just insane?

First time I watched it I didn't really take it all in! The second time I just thought he shot an explosive cannister or something. But yes to my embarrassment only just now!

Itz a space blastor cause he iz masturchief and he iz space ninja!

No, but in all seriousness, how did he get a Jetpack, also maybe the gun he used may be a gun developed by the same woman who gave Master Chief energy shields (which were developed from a Jackal Shield).

So maybe she created this gun that has only just appeared?

Yeah I see them too... almost like a flare gun!

Yeah I was kind of happy and upset about the jetpack, while it's cool and all it spoils the story-line abit. But hey at the end of the day it is just a game...

It is a flare gun! :D

Look closely at his surroundings before and after he shoots it. It's a portal gun.

you even see him attach a new explosive round to the front once he exits the ship

I noticed that too, I first thought it was a silencer. Obviously not anymore...

  • 06.07.2011 9:15 AM PDT

When he first grabs it I thought it was a lightsaber :(

  • 06.07.2011 9:21 AM PDT

Maybe this trailer can't be taken as canon. Hopefully, there won't be a random Jetpack in his armor. Or, this shows him at the end of Halo 4, about to go cryo again before they crash into that thing??? Idk, we still have a year and a half to speculate.

  • 06.07.2011 9:22 AM PDT

YES.. but somehow from his journey from halo 2 to 3 his armor changes :p

  • 06.07.2011 9:23 AM PDT

question everything...truth has no pedigree

It's not a magnum. It's a grenade launcher that fires like a pistol.

If you notice while he's flying through the ship, dodging all the debris, he flies past a magnum just before he grabs the grenade pistol.

They look different.

  • 06.07.2011 9:41 AM PDT

i think its a regular/upgraded pistol that can have a grenade/flare launcher attachment ive seen designs like this were the pistol can fire normally but if the grenade launcher is attached then the bullet firing pushes the grenade out and will light the grenades fuse

  • 06.07.2011 9:43 AM PDT

It seems like the weapon is completely new. It fires an external round that explodes on impact into a blue explosion. When he fires the rear of the weapon lifts up, as if to vent excess energy.

  • 06.07.2011 9:46 AM PDT

It definitely didn't look like a single weapon, more like a grenade attatched to the barrel maybe, similar to te WWII era's M1 Garand. You'd stick a grenade on the barrel and fire it like a modern pro pipe.

Weapon attatchments aren't unwelcome, so long as they're mainly campaign and select multiplayer games.

  • 06.07.2011 9:47 AM PDT

I think its a different variant. It looks to be sort of a grenade launcher. If you look to the right of MC before he grabs it, (I think) he passes a regular magnum. I could be wrong though.

Yeah he actually passes up a couple of Magnums before picking up the grenade pistol.

"Find The Bomb?!
Find The Bomb?!
I'm Looking For The Flag!
What The Heck Is Assualt!?"

Yeah, it's a weapon we have never seen. How droll.
