Yea, but the battle rifle... Its the same gun. Over and over again. No point in changing it.

DMR is Designated Marksmans Rifle, so... yea. Not much you can do there.

I ones with the most potential, I think, is the M6 Series, MA5 series, or the M7 SMG. For the smg, you could have a large calibre, small range, lower rate of fire weapon, or a more marksmans version. Even a machine pistol M7.

I'm lost. What are we discussing again?

Why the hell would you want the multiple iterations of the same weapon with basically the same characteristics? That is completely ridiculous, it's basically turning Halo into a COD clone. : /

If it was ridiculous, they wouldn't have created so many roles for the M16, or the AK series, or numerous other weapon systems. Logistically, having multiple weapons centered around the same basic system makes more sense than having multiple guns that are largely incompatible with one another. Of course, this is a game, so things like ammo commonality and interchangeable parts don't really matter. But it definitely isn't a horribly ridiculous concept.

Call of Duty uses attachments, which isn't exactly what I had in mind.

I'd have to agree with bobblehob, this isn't real life nor is it CoD. I'm sure that in the future they already have a universal type of weapon that fits the needs of today having to have different variations to compensate for different tasks.

Im talking about games xP There is no point in having a ridiculous number of versions of the same weapon in a game, especially not in a Halo game. COD uses that same system, except instead of different iterations of the same weapon, its a ton of different weapons with the same characteristics.

This is fair. Weapons are sort of my pet subject, so I tend to lean more towards realism when it comes to guns. P:

That is understandable, but if you are doing the work for a halo game then you would probably be better off working on new weapons, instead of weapon families. I mean Halo obviously does have weapon families, i.e. the change in weapon design between games and the different designations, but having them all in the same game is silly :P

Updated. Yes? No?
E: Open in new tab for hi res.

Doesn't look like it's pointing at the center of the screen however...

Exactly. If you look closely, the DMR in reach is pointing at the reticule directly.

You have been warned about this in the past and have had your entire posting history deleted because of image spam. Have you learned nothing? (a rhetorical question that does not require an answer) It would be better for you, because of your past, to err on the side of caution.

Another childish accusation.... Sigh*.

yeah man dennis sure is abusing his power by not letting us post unfunny images all over the place :3

yea man. we aren't allowed to do anything unfun around here.
/sarcasm

LOL



To be clear I am not opposed to various funny, or unfunny depending on your viewpoint, images as long as it does not get out of hand or you have not been warned about it before.

No "Get back on topic" warning? Very well then.

New pictures from Halo 4. DMR, Elites, Master Chief, Assault Rifle,...

I'm confused.

Where's the forerunner, the covenant, and the marine stuff? Did they replace it with all that Crysis architecture?

The forerunners will be here, but it's too soon for 343 Industries to show them.

Ugly elite arms .... interesting armor and carbine-focus rifle like gun
ugly grunt armor ... i dont know why but it remebers me about iron man...
outside this Halo 4 Seems interesting for me and is it just me or the dmr has a supressor attached to it ... it is in the icon of the ammo gun
And awesome Cortana

i think some one F***ed up halo here, mircosoft i hate you for what you did to bungie making them hand it over to you so they can start making other titles.....

to me it looks like crysis stuff made it's way into halo 4, o well i never beat halo 3 on legendary so to me master chief is dead so i don't need to play halo 4

I never beat Halo 3's campaign, so I guess I'm less lucky. I never saw Masterchief die :(

So I have to play Halo 4 eventually :(

New Cortana looks like Anya Stroud >:(.

Eh, not really
Anya Stroud is awesome though, :P

You're showing Cortana and Masterchief in a 'Weapons' thread?!




Sounds about right. They were taken up by the marines specifically as weapons I suppose...

Hate to break it to ya but...
um never mind, no spoiler alert i guess.
