don't take me too seriously..


<3

This sure sounds like other Spartans are making an appearance in Halo 3. :D

Why else would they name it the Spartan Laser?

Could the remarks about the weapon be said by Spartans themselves?

Why wasn't the P on Phantoms italicized? Typo? I think not!

Anyone notice the quotes are really different in this one? Do you have to have a PhD to use a Spartan Laser or something? Or are those really the other Spartans?

i think the mauler is the new brute version of the ghost, and i dont think they would name a brute vehicle a "chopper" . and the UNSC is too advanced for aircraft with rotors, so maybe a rebel human group? religion cultist type guys?

Dude, that's jacked up. I'm so ready for this gun.

Why did they block out the other stuff in the Article.
And finally something about Halo 3

Spartan Laser is nickname in the REAL WORLD

I don't think it's gonna be called Spartan Laser in the game. I hope it doesn't either.

Also, there is a big chance that more Spartan IIs will be in the game but it's unlikly that this weapon was created just for them.

This weapon is going to be modded so hardcore. It would be so stupid if they put
a way unfair mod on it. It would be unstoppable.

Sounds overpowered.

Way to google the speed of light for the muzzle velocity. I wanted to see decimals to the nearest picometer per second dammit!

Can't WAIT to wield this thing! -blam!-.

"I could not stop death, so death kindly stopped me"
"because inside-out is wiggedy wack"

um, yay for spartan laser and all, but what did all the black spaces mean? i dunno, its probably just my comp, but i couldnt read how far it shoots...

Deuteronomy 24:16 - The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

Basically, Jesus cannot die for your sins, only you can.

Maybe the chopper is a motorcycle type vehicle

This will change Game play a lot . It is a weapon that Halo has never introduced. You cannot compare it to the rocket because it is a not a projectile.

Men, we've led these dumb bugs out to the middle of nowhere to keep from getting their filthy claws on earth, but, we stumbled on to something that's so hot for them, that they're scrambling over each other to get it. Well, I don't care if it's God's own anti-son-of-a-b*tch machine, or a giant hola-hoop, we ain't gonna let them have it. What we will let them have, is a belly full of lead, and a pool of their own blood to drown in!

I have nothing to say, but I'm still posting, making me more or less amazing because of my ablility to go on and on about nothing until you become old or hell freezes over and yet you cannot stop reading my less than insightful comment because, as you can see, I can go on like this forever; I haven't even used a period yet but I'm still writing because truely, I can talk someone to perhaps a vegitative state where they can only listen as I ramble on and on completely off subject (much like I'm doing now) keeping you in a reading state as I slowly control your mind and tell you to do thy bidings like making more people read my attention-capturing posts as they transform into my minions who then will be sent forth into the world for my master plan of GLOBAL DOMINATON where there will be no periods, but only exclaimations and question marks; aka PWN4G3!!!

Sorry, this weapon kinda blows. It is like the stupid sentinal in james bond nightfire. Halo was cool because it had futuristic yet realistic weapons. This weapon just doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the Halo arsenal. We've already got the rocket launcher for an anti vehicle weapon, why do we need another? If you wanted to add the fuel rod gun into multiplayer that'd be understandable because it's just the covenant equivalent to the rocket launcher.

Plus, how are you going to realistically animate the spartans/elites getting hit by the thing? They can't be sent flipping through the air like with an explosion because its just supposed to cut through things. A laser is just heat anyway, it wouldn't send anything flying. The only realistic way you could animate it would be to have people being cut to pieces by it or bursting into flames. Halo isn't overly gorry like that and I don't want to see it end up like that. The only thing it seems like you could do is to just have people drop dead when they get hit by it. That seems kinda lame and it would get people pissed off when they get killed by it. I can imagine myself yelling "What the f*** just killed me?!". At least when you get killed by a sniper you either flip over or spin in a circle and you can see the trail (except during extreme lag).

Anyway, I don't like the weapon. I'm not sure if other people agree but I would rather not see it in the final game. Maybe just turn it "off" for default settings in matchmaking & custom games and avoid putting it in the campaign.

Marksmen are the answer.

In 007 it is called the Samuri, not the Sentinal.

I'm pretty sure Bungie's had to do alot to balance this weapon. I bet this is little to zero aiming assistance for this weapon, a very long charge up time, a very small battery/clip for maybe only 2 shots at most, and a VERY short window of time to aim it at the target when it is fired. That's just a few things they might do to balance that kind of power in multiplayer. But, whatever they do... they better do it, because I want that power!
