At 4:29 you can see the option to pick up the concussion rifle.
Sorry if this has been posted already.
It has ^.^
OT: It’s a pretty good weapon for the sandbox, countering sword and shotty…
Can someone tell me why this weapon is good to have in the game? That’s a serious question, not being sarcastic or rhetorical. Just always saw it as more annoying and cheap than something that is nice to have in the game. Coming on here I see just about everyone excited to see it return, so now I am curious why people like it.

Leaves anybody who thinks Sprint+Shotgun/Sword is the ultimate form of achieving kills whimpering on a wall as they explode.

Alright I can see the logic in that, but don’t you guys think it’s a bit too powerful in the sense that it not only knocks you around and pushes you back, but it also messes with your screen and basically you’re screwed?
I hope it has a bit less knockback. I still want it to knock enemies away, just not as much as in Reach. Other than that, the weapon was great. Low splash damage really rewarded direct impacts. 3-shotting with the Concussion Rifle was pretty satisfying.
I read it’s more slower to fire but shots are faster.

No not really, takes some skill to use. It can kill in 3 direct shots but most people require 6 before killing anybody. It’s in the same area as the Grenade Launcher. It can kill in one direct shot, but you need to learn how to use it before you can get really good with it.
Alright, thanks for the feedback. Don’t care for it myself, but at least your explination made it sound more balanced than I felt in gameplay.

I hate the concussion rifle… it soooo annoying! Yet i love the brute shot…
Well I love the Concussion Rifle, especially for its looks. I understand that some people hate how it works in Halo Reach (myself not included), but keep in mind that it will most definitely work different in Halo 4.

The Brute Shot didn’t launch enemies across the map, and had extra melee damage.
i already got this covered 
Hopefully it performs more like the Halo 2 Brute Shot than the Reach Concussion Rifle.

Nah man.
It has to be like the Reach CR, which was like the H3 BShot.
Why?

With the exception of VS sword and shotgun sprinters, it’s useless as an anti personel weapon. I personally love it for what it does to vehicles. For example, a charging ghost? Jump the charge, flip the ghost, my ghost now. It’s fun, especially if you AL a couple times to draw them in.

Oh man, it’s been so long since I’ve seen that.

Wait…what? so is it slower or faster?

It’s a little confusing, but what he means is that the rate of fire is slower(it takes more time in between shots), but the bullets fly quicker(the bullets will reach the target faster). So you have to wait longer in between shots, but the shots get there faster. Basically so you can’t spam them so quickly. You will have to time your shots, and it gives the enemy more time to react. Sounds like a better balance to me.
