Is there anyone else that seen the similarities between H4’s new light rifle and ME3’s Particle rifle.
You can mod the Particle rifle with armour piercing so that it is orange too - here are links for you to see.

Now its not a copy / rip off but I think I can see some inspiration that 343i have?

The beam rifle is also a particle weapon and halo 4 s development started long so i dont think they got the inspiration from me3.

They both break down the enemy after they have been killed too - I’ve been playing ME3 a lot recently and I saw the similarities
