LEGACY POST: Halo 4 Weapons Dossiers

Just before Halo 4 was released, 343 put out full statistics, videos, and opinions for all the weapons in Halo 4 plus 3 epic wallpapers for each of the weapon factions. And, thinking they would be useful and/or cool to look back on one day, I saved the links to them.

So, here they are again. You really should save those sweet wallpapers if you haven’t. This time, we can look back on these with our own personal play experience and compare what they thought of them then to what we think of them now. This could be interesting.

And now, the links.

As to my personal opinion, besides some of the Covenant weapon sounds sounding rather bad like that Nerf gun Storm Rifle, I think they’re all pretty good now in both balance and in terms of visceral feeling. The human sniper though looks weird.

Funny looking back at that. Some things were innacurate, others overpowered.

Man, I’m loving that Forerunner wallpaper!

It’s fun reading about their comments on the weapons too. I honestly hope the Incineration Cannon and Binary Rifle make a comeback in H5. Really, the one thing that made them agitating for me was how common they tend to be at times. Reduce them to map pickup only and they’re good to go. Oh yeah, and Ammo “perk” coupled with the Binary is pure evil. Plain and simple.

Favoriting this for a rainy day…
