I’m assuming everyone has seen today’s Bulletin. If not, what are you doing here?!?! GO READ IT!
Anyway, a new UNSC weapon is revealed which makes a total of 11 new weapons, as we’ve already seen the 10 others mentioned by 343i earlier. This means that we can disregard their previous statement about only having 10 new weapons and 2 new vehicles! Which opens up the possibility for a much bigger sandbox.
What new weapons and vehicles would you like to see?
Forerunner weapons change form based on the wielder. We cannot take those speculated weapons as fact.
So far:
1)Railgun
2)Sticky Detonator
3)SAW
4)Storm Rifle
5)Light Rifle
6)Scattershot
7)Promethean Pistol

Yes, we can. Especially because we’ve seen the Repeater and Sniper being shot, and there’s this. Also, only the handle changes between species, the entire gun does not change, as the Scattershot and Lightrifle show us.
Wait… that Spartan looks like he’s holding that new Promethean Sidearm…
That just made that gun look more badyoink!

I just saw the picture, I’ll see if I can find it in the video and update the post if necessary.
EDIT: Looks like you are correct. However, I don’t really know how to explain what it does. I’ll just keep it like it is to make it simple.
A flamethrower? Please let this be true.
> A flamethrower? Please let this be true.
I don’t think so, it looks like the Spartan is holding that new sidearm, and like Gristly
said it seems more like it’s a pulse then fire.

That is the sidearm! Nice catch!

Yeah I saw it. 
It’s a beautiful effect regardless.

Actually, I’m thinking that he simply stopped shooting, as the enemy had already been killed.

It also seems to have a clip too.

Yes, and if that was a flamethrower it would have a heat meter instead of “bullets” on the display.

I just had a epiphany. Maybe it’s a flamethrower, but instead of continuously shooting it shoots in short burst, each little notch in the meter represents when that burst would end. This could make it different from the UNSC flamethrower, hinting at it’s inclusion as well.

If that is the case, I wonder how it would be balanced?

Don’t ask me, I’m just a guy trying to deduce as much as possible from the little info we have.

Lol I know, I was just wondering to myself if this was the case, how would this be balanced?

Haha, I figured. I would also like to know how this would be balanced, but we can’t really even begin to figure that out until we know all the weapons that will be included and what they do.
The next person who says flamethrower is going to get pistol whipped with my promeathan pistol flamethrower.
In all seriousness though I don’t think its a flamethrower, but you never know.
So thats like 10 guns for the unsc right (I’m talking about the info from the vid of course not the speculation).

11 actually. And that’s just what they’ve shown so far.
