Beam Rifle = :(

It looks nothing like the Beam Rifle we know.

I’m just SICK of complaining but I have to, you had one job 343.
You keep changing things for the sake of change!!! Why??? Why can’t you TRY to get things right.
Sure give the look an overhaul, change it, but don’t change it so that it looks like something else entirely!!!

I don’t mind change, I WANT change, but this is just ridiculous. The Beam Rifle was always a beast weapon, the way it cringed when you shot too much and the way you meleed. I just don’t see that with Halo 4. Bangs head.

I prefer they go off in their own direction for the art style than just copy and paste the design of the old Beam Rifle.

Plus, it has been just short of five years since we last fought against the Covenant, there is likely a canon explanation behind it too.

If your sick complaining then Stop freakin complaining,change is good and change was needed to make Halo better,get over it.

You must be the only one I know who doesnt like the new beam rifle.

It’s pretty much a merging of the focus rifle and beam rifle in appearance; it looks fine to me.

I want that too, I really do. But they’ve just completely ruined it in my opinion.

Different artists have their own views of fictional things.
I happen to like both styles.

Please do understand, although you don’t like the design, it does the exact same thing, it is headshot capable, it has 10 shots, it has the same melee damage.

The game hasn’t come out yet, and now the complaints. I think there should be a complaint department on Waypoint.

You’re in it. :stuck_out_tongue:

I feel bad for you. For not having a good eye and being blinded by nostalgia, I mean. Everything that has been redesigned looks and sounds better.

This is a new game being developed by a new company. I want a NEW game, not a game that has everything copy and pasted from the previous titles. If you don’t like change, make the move to Call of Duty. I hear they like to do rehashes, that would be perfect for you.

Win.

A lot of people on Youtube hate it too…

Oh god, YouTube. The complaints are even worse on there.

No one cares about a YouTube User’s complaints.

And a lot of people here love it, and honestly, I think it looks a hell of a lot better than previous incarnations so I’m happy with it.

Yeah, 343 had “one” job, and that was to make Halo 4. They did exactly that.
P.S. The Halo 2 Particle Beam Rifle design is atrocious.

Let’s be fair - I could go on YouTube and find “a lot of people” who love the Beam Rifle. It’s not exactly the most credible source of information.

I think there are some exceptionally dumb things in Halo 4… the Beam Rifle is not one of them. As far as I’m concerned after it’s absence in Reach and the inclusion of a new Forerunner sniper Beam Rifle fans are lucky to get it at all.

Yes but it’s honestly better to go on Youtube than the actual Halo forums as you’d have a mix of people who know and play Halo rather than everyone there instantly loving anything 343 does.

lol. But seriously, there should be. Better to have complaints on a single sections then to have complaints on thousands of posts. It’ll make it easier to spot.
