I like how your sub box is full of science and political videos but your recommendations are full of anime girls kissing each other.

Just Zoid being Zoid ^_^

They kept the DMR, and the NR was practically its Covenant counterpart

On December 1st, 2012, I met Neil deGrasse Tyson. I shook the man's hand, and even made him laugh. Not much else to do with my life now.

Because the Carbine is virtually the same.

Although, to be honest, I find that the Needle Rifle is much more satisfying to kill someone with than the Cabine.

Be sure to tell everyone how cool you are. If you don't tell them, they won't know.

What happened to the plasma rifle, plasma repeater?

RIP grenade launcher, RIP focus rifle.

Actually im fine with all of these being gone, save for grenade launcher.

Carbine > Needle rifle

And they need to make room for the light rifle, which is the DMR's new counterpart...

Did you know that 93% of all statistics on the internet are made up on the spot, and that 68% of readers believe them?

Because it was entirely unecessary. Although it was fun.

I know my ways. So just stay back.

I think the should have kept the Needle Rifle as well, the carbine was awesome the NR is also cool. Maybe make one of the CQC like they did with the BR and DMR.

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

During the E3 build of Halo 4, the Carbine was basically a faster firing, more OP than the DMR, Needle Rifle with not as cool of an aesthetic. Now, since the Carbine is innacurate as crap, I wonder why we don' jus have the NR back sice it was

Focus rifle and plasma repeater went away because no one liked them.

I do miss those sweet combine-explosion headshots.

  • 12.14.2012 7:12 PM PDT

personally I thought the Needle Rifle was better than the Carbine. For one it's a cooler looking gun and it had the supercombine effect. The Needle Rifle, CQC armor, helmet attachments, armor effects, and the Falcon are just a few of the things that I miss in Halo 4. Different company, different game, can't have it all I know but Reach had some pretty cool stuff in it. But then again Halo 4 has a lot of cool new stuff in it too.

Light rifle needed a friend... an incredibly overpowered friend who has more aim assist than any weapon in call of duty....

Some things in this World you just can't explain; but that doesn't mean they are any less true, just that you have to chose to believe in them.

I liked the Focus Rifle. Quite a bit, actually.

The human element always mucks things up.

Cuz it was an inaccurate piece of poo poo that rewarded players who couldn't get headshots.

Needle Rifle was perfectly accurate...

More like the BR. DMR is single shot and ZB DMRs are the hardest things to use in any Halo game.

It's satisfying to watch someone explode in a pink hailstorm. Sure. The Carbine is just a better weapon (and I don't mean gameplay performance, per se, it's just cooler).

If you want explosions, there's plenty of ways to get them. If you want pink explosions, there's a needler proper. But if you want a covenant rifle, we have the carbine.

As being top 10 in the world with Focus Rifle kills in Halo Reach I beg to differ.
