For those of you that missed it 
The Elite’s holding it.
> ELITE RANGER
> The Elites are back in Halo 4, including the popular Ranger variant as depicted in Halo: Reach. Elite Rangers feature a fully-sealed environment suit and an airtight helmet with clear visor; perfect for extra-vehicular activity in the vacuum of space. <mark>Our Elite Ranger figure comes with the redesigned, Halo 4 version of the Beam Rifle.</mark>
Looks like a new weapon. It says right there it’s redesigned. It won’t play like the original Halo 3/2 weapon. Hopefully it won’t since that weapon was broken in campaign and felt rather redundant in multiplayer.
Cool, I missed it.
YES! Thank the Prophets 343 put in the beam rifle over the Focus rifle
Cool if its in the final game. Its deadly close up in reach!
WOOT!
thanks OP.

No problem!

Something tells me you are speaking about the Focus Rifle
H2 Jackal snipers aren’t as hard as people make them out to be. But I hope this time, in the campaign, on Legendary difficulty, it takes Covie snipers 2 shots to kill Chief like on Heroic. 1 shot puts a damper on fun and forces prioritization. I’m pretty sure people like having to choose who to target first. 343 are doing this with Prometheans. Why can’t they do it with Covies?
Instead of relying on lethal damage, make the Covies a genuine threat.
I knew it’d be back. It’s the sequel to Halo 3.

It wasn’t in Reach…
I prefer the focus rifle. At least it’s different than the sniper rifle.
Sweet! My old favorite weapon returns (hopefully it’s even more fun now).
Also of note, CIO armor looks awesome in that picture. Greatness.
Edit: I wonder if it will also have “upgrades” aside from a new look ala the Storm Rifle replacing the plasma rifle? I hope so, as it could then be a bit more unique.

The Focus Rifle is a Sentinel Beam pretending to be a sniper. The Beam Rifle is amazing and is applicable in different situations than the Sniper Rifle.
OH MY GOD YES!
> Destroy all traces of the focus rifle. Bring the beam rifle back!!!
This was my most thanked comment. Seeing that the beam rifle is actually returning makes me so happy. It was such a great gun and really fun to use. Thank you for this info!
double post.
Great find, man, couldn’t tell if it was another gun or not.
Im not trying to be pessimistic, but that could be a storm rifle…

Thought so too at first, but look at the barrel. It’s way different than the Storm Rifle.
