Light Rifle

So this thread was made to discuss the Light Rifle, what we know about it, and what we assume about it. It is obviously a precision weapon, but to what degree? Here You can see some information about the Light Rifle. So it will more than Likely be a DMR/BR counterpart. But, how strong is it? 4sk? I want to discuss how strong it is, and do you think it will be a primary weapon? Here in this video you can see that it says Primary, 8/15 unlocked. So do you think it will be a primary weapon? And how strong do you think it will be? Also, it is said that it is 3 shot burst while un-scoped and 1 powerful shot while zoomed. What do you guys think?

I think it’s a 4sk o even 3sk because it killed the pro-night so quick
and about the 8/15 unlocked issue you may’ve noticed that it was taken from Spartan-Ops loadouts
so yes I think it’ll be a primary weapon but only in S-Ops and maybe in war games as a power weapon (ordinance drop)

It should act like the Flare equipment from Halo 3! You shoot light that can blind your opponent. Get a headshot and they won’t be able to see!

Like this thing?

So they would make 2 different menus for SO and WG? Sounds kinda complicated to me.

I do miss the flare from h3lo. But I would much rather have a flash grenade. Remember at the beginning of halo 4 news, we saw 4 grenade slots? Maybe frag, plasma, flash, forerunner?

Im really interested to see how the Light Rifle will fit into the MP sandbox. It’s going to be a weapon drop, so it could have a fast kill time like 3 or 4sk, but maybe it won’t even matter if you get a headshot with it, because the Forerunner weapons disentegrate the opponent.

I think the forerunner one will fit nicely as a flash grenade

and I hope they return the flame grenade I miss that one so much

What makes you think it will be a weapon drop?

I miss flame too. It needs to be a little weaker though.

Any other ideas?

I don’t see why it can’t be a primary weapon… I hope it is but its weird thinking of multiplayer and a new weapons class entirely.

Well some would believe that it will be a power weapon/ weapon drop, which I disagree with because of the magazine and clip size.

There is NO WAY that it is a power weapon just because it is a forerunner weapon. It doesn’t even seem that strong. We have yet to see how it functions in multiplayer.

Also I miss flame nades as well.

Well I am happy that thew majority thinks it will be a primary, because ever since I saw it I fell in love. And we need flame nades back.
