Halo 4 weapons and vehicles discussion thread

> Forerunner Pulse Blaster - A hand-held, geometric rifle-like gun with 2x zoom. Pulling the trigger will fire a bolt of light similar in strength to a DMR shot. Firing too much in succession will make it overheat and decrease its accuracy. Holding the trigger will charge the gun, then releasing the trigger will fire a high power bolt of energy similar to a Beam Rifle. This bolt can insta-kill with a headshot, and take off shields and damage the enemy some if it’s a body shot. This bolt will cause the rifle to overheat.

> Forerunner Explosive Gun - This gun will be similar to a Spartan Laser. Holding the trigger will initiate a tracking beam similar to the SL or Target Locator. Holding it on a target for a minimum amount of time, (3 seconds or so), will cause an explosion on that target. The target can be animate or inanimate, but the beam must be placed on it for the minimum amount of time. No projectile is actually fired, the target is simply engulfed in an instant explosion, making it ideal for taking out snipers and other stationary targets. This gun has a 2x zoom.

I like those ideas

Just some grenade ideas
1.Emp Grenade- Has a radius slightly larger than the halo reach frag and emps targets.
2. Stun grenade- has a small aoe and damage, for 2 seconds the target has the same attributes as of a person who just got hijacked. Great for when you have the element of surprise.
3. Needle grenade- when detonated causes a supercombine explosion dealing little damage to shielded targets but killing unshielded ones. Great in combination with EMP grenade.
4. Blast grenade- does little damage but has much launching power, roughly 1-3 of that of a concussion rifle or brute shot. Great for holding off an opponent until your shields can recharge or launching an opponent off the map.

I think the stun grenade should work by temporarily giving anyone caught in its radius the “Blind” skull effect–they lose all HUD elements (weapon included) for a time, depending on how close they were to the blast. The needle grenade is also a great idea; maybe it can put out a burst of the same homing projectiles as in the needler? Then it can work equally well against shielded or unshielded targets.

I hope they’re gonna use a whole new engine for halo 4!!!

I don’t see why they wouldn’t, they’re starting from scratch on this one. I think we can expect great things from 343i.

For an aerial vehicle, I’d like a cross between the Hornet and Falcon. More take off speed and the ability to make quick maneuvers with thrusters to side step incoming fire. I prefer side mounted weapons over side mounting my self and current weapon.
The Revenant was a great add-on. But I’d like a more powerful weapon variant. Ya, ya, it’s a powerful vehicle already. I don’t mind more powerful.

For a weapon. Give me something akin to the Turok 2 Cerebral Bore.

And a ricocheting weapon. Similar to the Needle Rifle but more powerful. Even if the ideal of the pro-pipe and NR are combined into 1… hmmm.

a few things:

One we need a new sniper or bring back the beam rifle, the focus rifle was awful and the beam rifle should of stayed, a new fore runner sniper would be nice and I bet it will happen.

A new banshee maybe the fore runners made the banshee better

We should be able to SWIM! Just throwing that out there.

Some form of lighting gun sort of like a new rocket launcher, gets 4 shots with it

Yeah they will because thier a different company they dont have the same engine as bungie did.

we should be able to swim.

I would like to see a new type of AR. Current AR is 10 years old so time for a redesign. Bring the smg back with a redesign as well. I also want to see the physics on the Warthog changed. It tends to lose control and go airborne to easy.

2 words. BATTLE RIFLE

I like the warthog to go airborne easy and i think there should be new weapon designs.

Vehicle List - Forerunner

1. FR - Harrier

  • A Forerunner air vehicle
  • Effective against ground and air units
  • A ray turret that can shoot both air and ground units
  • Only 1 seat

2. FR - The Rocket Rover

  • A Forerunner ground vehicle
  • Effective against ground and air units
  • Equipped with the Forerunner Missle Launcher as the turret
  • 3 seats

3. FR - The Rover
- A Forerunner ground vehicle
- Effective against ground units

  • Equipped with a standard Forerunner ray turret
  • 3 seats

That is all I got for now. Will update with more later.

Change the plasma launcher so that it fires large homing needler shards.

Or normal sized ones, at 9 shards a pop (Think Fable 2/3’s sword spell type look and homing)

The ability to have someone take a turret onto the back of a mongoose.

WOW genius. Bungie should hire this guy to sit on a couch all day and think up even more awesome ideas :slight_smile:

How bout a knife that shoots a knife like a billistic knife or a throwing knife but only in campaign

That magnum that shoots grenades from the teaser video

Naaah I dont think that will be in the game.jk :smiley:

How does the community feel about weapon attachments?

> How does the community feel about weapon attachments?

I think its absolutely fine for campaign, as for multiplayer im fine as long as there is only one attachment per gun. and you have to find the attachment like halo 3s equipment
