that which is not dead can eternal lie, but with strange aeons even death may die.

1. It is not unlbalanced.

You must manually track the target for 3 whole seconds, then the weapon fires.

2. knowing also, that the amunition will probably not be very much...I take it you must be very carefull with the shots.

Anyone who doubts the laser speed worked out before your eyes


299792458 m/s is the speed of light when converted by the process of 3.280839895013123359580052494383 feet to a meter multipled by 299792458 you get 983571056.4304461942257217847769 feet/sec

Dude - this isn't any more overpowered than a rocket launcher.

Can get kills on vehicles easy from across the map, except for maybe Banshees -- same.
Can kill infantry easily w/out much skill at medium range -- same
Few shots at pickup (bungie said in an update it was 4, i think) -- same
Rare/only about one on large map -- same

It's just a rocket but more stylish and with a 3-second chargeup (minimum) before firing.

Why is the laser red. Red lasers can not kill anyone, military/destruction grade lasers must be blue or violet. Blue lasers go through people, Violet make them explode, thats just highschool science class right there. Why bungie, why would you make such an obvious mistake.
P.S. All US military lasers are violet or UV, as of 2010 we will use other wavelengths of light for non lethal purposes.

Chopper reminds me of a helicopter. So maybe the brutes have their own aircraft like a bansee?

"A little on the heavy side"? if i didnt know any better, id think that there is some sort of new relationship between the weight of your weapons being carried, and your movement speed

During Campaign i will prolly give it to a marine, like in H2 i would give marines rockets because there accurate and dont run out of ammo. So i will give the Spartan laser to the marine so they will not run out of ammo, and when they die i will use it.

so what happens to the sentinal beam. Can the spartan laser kill other players or is it just for vehicular distruction.

  • 01.31.2007 7:48 PM PDT

Mauler- Some new brute vehicle that will be like a warthog, but with a needle turrent? Or some other needle-based vehicle?

Chopper- A brute banshee?

Sweet update!

you know it seems to me like the spartan laser is just modifyed sentinel beam

  • 01.31.2007 8:29 PM PDT

"Don't you know?...Spartans never die".

I wonder if you are allowed to ride a mongoose or ghost with this, now that weapons are shown on the spartan, larger weapons have no place to go when riding smaller vehicles, what about using two large weapons?, will bungie restrict having a sniper and a laser ar the same time?

The Spartan Laser sounds fairly balanced so far. Can't wait to try that sucker out! I'm also interested to learn more about these possibly new enemy vehicles, soon.

balanced? How so? A weapon capable of taking down both vehicles, and infantry, and sniping? Is there ever a reason for me to use anything else?

EDIT: and btw, since when can you not kill someone with red laser light? It just isn't nearly as effective as ultravoilet. Have you ever shone a bright light on your hand?

EDIT: wait, a three second charge? Only? So I can only blow up one tank every three seconds? Wow, that means that the assualt has an extra... what? 24 seconds before they're blown into oblivion?
