Subject: What do you think will be the new weapons in Halo 4?

The trilogy is over and prequel etc. and MC is from the looks of it landing on a new planet. With this what do you think will be the new guns etc or what would you like to see?

Beam rifle. Battle rifle. Halo 3 Assault rifle.

  • 10.24.2011 12:41 PM PDT

They can't just keep the old they'll have to come up with new weapons soon but yeah those guns were awesome. Forget the crash landing however MC is getting on a surface.

You seriously think a Halo game will be without human weapons? Obviously not. The campaign, and by that i mean every level, will have a human weapon in it 110% Guaranteed (I will bet anyone anything). There will be covenant weapons (Well, former covenant weapons , elites, jackals etc).

Yes Master Chief will without a doubt find (forunner?) weapons later on in the game. I personally want a medium range single shot weapon similar to the carbine but with F-runner tech.

Reach pistol combined with noobtube (Watch H4 trailer).

  • 10.24.2011 12:57 PM PDT

I think there will be some high tech type stuff.
Or very similar to human weapons.

  • 10.24.2011 12:59 PM PDT

No I'm not saying they can't keep it, I meant that they couldn't keep the same old ones without adding new ones. Sorry

Yeah, well the more weapons the better in my opinion.

  • 10.24.2011 1:11 PM PDT

Do I try hard??... Yes, yes I do.

Halo 3 BR, the AR, Nades, and the Pistol. Other than that, we can only speculate.

  • 10.24.2011 11:35 PM PDT

Personally I don't. I love big explosions and stuff but games with to many weapons seem to lose some zeal. I like to have few enough to have a couple of weapons that are my power players, but also enough to be able to focus on some new ones.

The Halo 3 weapon set was perfect.

That is a pure opinion and since you are treating it as a fact i am going to say bullshirt.

Half of the weapons in halo 3 were redundant since there was another weapon just like it. The laser was overpowered, pistol damn near worthless, the AR took a full clip to kill anything,the BR dominated online play (even bungie said it was too much and flawed), and most weapons didn't do justice unless you used two of them.

Halo CE had a perfect weapon set since each weapon had a specific role in combat, not to mention plasma weapons actually did something. (and i am ignoring the clearly over-powered pistol).

Halo 2 had a good weapon set; it would have been perfect if the BR was the DMR,pistol was stronger, and the CE AR was in. other than that it is good as halo CE. Though the plasma pistol was downgraded.

Can i get proof for anything you are saying? like really even though people don't like majority of what i say i always have something to back me up and i really haven't been wrong since i don't say much.

Human weapons being in every level might be a little much, i feel like they should be scattered or really low in number if they are going to be in every level. Since i see no reason for us to be using inferior human weapons in a forerunner dominated game if not trilogy.


Not to mention the covenant does not exist anymore and there is no logical reason for any of "their" tech to be in the game since it was forerunner tech

I think that they should have a mix between a Spartan Laser and a Sniper Rifle. A Sniper Laser, a Spartan Rifle, or a Laser Sniper.

''protocal dictates action''

my fellow friends, the only weapon that can be announce is the grenade magnum, Also seen in halo 4 trailer. Its a grenade launcher, magnum mix, bye

If you're wondering about what sort of new weapons would be in the new trilogy, I say look at what was already there in the original. Look at the two Sentinel Beams in Halo 2, the weapons used by the Enforcers, Guilty Spark's beam, the Auto Turret from Halo 3, etc. The Forerunners are obviously playing a large part of the new trilogy and any new Forerunner weapon would probably be influenced by the old ones.

That is a pure opinion and since you are treating it as a fact i am going to say bullshirt.

No. You assumed I was treating it as fact. As a matter of fact it was an opinion.

The laser was overpowered

Opinion, and No.

pistol damn near worthless

Worthless, but not useless. It required skill. Which you obviously didn't have because you think it is worthless

the AR took a full clip to kill anything

Move in on your target and beat them to death with a melee. It wasn't intended as an all rounder weapon like the BR. Only useful in close - medium-close range. One of my most used weapons

the BR dominated online play

I never really got why everyone says this. I can out match a BR wielding opponent with my AR any day.

Care for a demonstration?

most weapons didn't do justice unless you used two of them.

Why else would duel wielding be implemented?

Can i get proof for anything you are saying? like really even though people don't like majority of what i say i always have something to back me up and i really haven't been wrong since i don't say much.

What? I said "I will bet you anything" which obviously meant that I was guessing/assuming. There is no proof. It is as if I was saying "I think it will be tails" on a coin flip.

i don't say much.

Umm... What?

i feel like they should be scattered or really low in number if they are going to be in every level

It wouldn't be realistic, so either there is human weapons in the first level(s) or they are in almost every level,

Since i see no reason for us to be using inferior human weapons in a forerunner dominated game if not trilogy.

So you are saying, there will be a forerunner armoury stationed on the "thing" Master Chief lands on? Or there is a random pile of forerunner tech and weapons laying around? Who said He even stays on that thing for more than 2 levels?

forerunner dominated game if not trilogy.

Oh, yes. I remember 343 said that this game is "Forerunner dominated".

/sarcasm

Just because there is a Forerunner planet/thing it doesn't mean the game/series is Foreunner dominated. If we, for example, got a trailer of the Ark for Halo 3 you wouldn't automatically assume it is Forerunner dominated (Not just Forerunner beings but also tech) based.

Not to mention the covenant does not exist anymore and there is no logical reason for any of "their" tech to be in the game since it was forerunner tech

The Covenant still exists (Not as a powerful or even worthy threat). You know this.

This doesn't mean that Sangheili won't make an appearance or even the Kig-yar. (Why the hell would Unggoy make an appearance, that is just not cool, and would make no sense what so ever)

When other people say "Covenant" I think they mean the Elites, Grunts or whatever. They don't necessarily mean the actual "Covenant". Example "I just killed a Covenant" instead of "I just killed one of the Covenant".

  • 10.25.2011 10:21 PM PDT

In memory of those fallen in the defense of Earth and her colonies.

March 3, 2553

We will have access to some new Human tech weapons. And a few forerunner weapons.

1. I am pretty sure i wouldn't be the only one to interpret that as you stating a "fact". you gave no indication.

2. It was overpowered hence you hardly seeing it in halo reach and it being powered down.

In halo 3 it was listed as an anti-vehicle weapon be it was an anti everything weapon. seriously if the other team happened to get two lasers for whatever reason that could increase the kill gap since it kills everything in one shot.

The you have the Lag which keeps things alive that should be dead and vice versa. The halo Reach laser is balanced.

3. um in long range combat the BR is going to beat the pistol. hence it being "worthless". you aren't going to kill somebody with full shields that is shooting back at you from the laser spawn in on high ground with a BR using a pistol from the beach hit for hit.

And there is no way you could imply skill since i have longed stopped playing halo 3 and your stats aren't even linked.


4.Which is the point. They don't have the power alone so you have to dual-wield everything to kill. That isn't something you should be supporting, even in halo 2 the weapons were good enough to kill without using two of them. Hence dual wielding to be overkill.

5. No you can't. you are not going to beat somebody with a BR using an AR from across the map regardless if you pace your shots. I would love to see you beat somebody in open combat on a large map that has a BR and you only have an AR.

6.Yes. Mark 6 wouldn't be able to stop any type of true forerunner weaponry so the suit needs to be upgraded somehow. And seeing how this would be the first FPS halo game on a shield-world like planet it is a fact along with common sense we are going to be on that "thing" more than two missions if not the entire game.

Yea, on a forerunner planet that still has forerunners on it (implied frankie) there aren't going to be any forerunner weapons on it whatsoever. The forerunner machines you fight aren't going to drop what they were shooting at you with. nor will you randomly find some "new" weapon like you have in every other FPS halo game.

7. So it wouldn't be realistic for a ship to crash and send everything every where? and the logic of "if it is on one level it has to be on all levels" is childish.

Human weapons are not going to damage any serious forerunner construct. not to mention you would be at a massive disadvantaged if you were fighting some rouge forerunner (whos tech has advanced more in the last 10,000 years) wearing mark 6 and using a pistol(since you have skill).

You are going to need some type of energy/light based weaponry which the humans don't have other than a laser.

8.Um this is going to be a forerunner dominated trilogy hence all this recent knowledge and backstory about the forerunners. Hence the summary of primordiom clearly taking place in halo 4.

So if this trilogy isn't going to have the forerunners heavily involved (which you are incredibly stupid for even suggesting given everything we know about halo 4) what is it going to be about? because last time i checked we aren't going to be going to earth since john is still missing decades later and the game takes place 3-4 years after halo 3 since cortana is near 7.

The covenant has been disbanded and no longer exists.

So please tell me what this trilogy could possibly connect with other than the Forerunner- human relations which we have been getting nudged at the entire time.

9. It was clearly shown in halo 3 that the covenant is over. Truth is dead along with the other higher ups, the elites left which leaves grunts,jackals,lekgolo, and brutes.


calling the client races of the former covenant; "covenant" after the fact is like calling a black person a slave after slaver has ended.


The.Covenant.does.not.exist.

  • 10.26.2011 5:31 AM PDT

I agree. Nothing was able to be immediately mastered, yet all the weapons were fun and had there distinct "personalities". I loved the magnum's loud sound, but Reach's assault rifle has a far better sound.

  • 10.26.2011 6:09 AM PDT

You didn't put my quotes in so I don't know which ones you replied to. Sorry if it seems unfitted.

1. If you say so.

2. Your opinion. I disagree with you.

3. I wasn't comparing the pistol to the BR was I? Also my account is glitched, my stats disappeared yesterday.

4. You don't need to dual wield for them to be useful. They where all mildly useful whilst single wielding. When you dueld wield it turns from mildly useful to very useful (In it's own specific use).

5. What do you mean "No you can't" that is just wild assumption . You wouldn't know. You have never played Halo 3 with me before.

6. No. Franky said "Yeh, It looks very Forerunner". Where is your proof to say otherwise?

The forerunner machines you fight

*Sigh*. Your assumption. Not fact or common sense. Possible but not fact.

Also, since when does a machine hold a weapon? They would be built in. It would be a weakness for machines to hold weapons.

7. "Childish"? Don't make me laugh. So you are saying that every weapon will be scattered around the whole game and still be in working condition? From a huge crash. From one ship? Weapons won't just fly out randomly 10+ kilometers. Also who said the entire game will be on that "Thing" anyway. So as I said before "Either they are on the first level(s) or on almost every level.

8. this is going to be a forerunner dominated trilogy hence all this recent knowledge and backstory about the forerunners. Hence the summary of primordiom clearly taking place in halo 4.

So if this trilogy isn't going to have the forerunners heavily involved (which you are incredibly stupid for even suggesting given everything we know about halo 4) what is it going to be about? because last time i checked we aren't going to be going to earth since john is still missing decades later and the game takes place 3-4 years after halo 3 since cortana is near 7.


I didn't say that there weren't going to be any Forerunners. I was "saying" that you shouldn't 100% assume the game is FORERUNNER, FORERUNNER, FORERUNNER

9. Go watch Halo legends... Also read the comics... Also Evolutions "The Return" I'm pretty sure that's the one.
