I looked through the first 10 pages or so in this forum and didn’t see this mentioned. But if it has I apologize for the re-post. I thought it was worth pointing out.
In the vidoc, at 3:11, for one second they show a mortar firing when talking about building all new sound effects from scratch. Could 343 be giving us a hint at a new weapon? Or could they only be interested in capturing that particular sound for a different type of weapon?
I personally think mortars are cool. But are they a futuristic type weapon that you’d see in the Halo Universe? I don’t know. I mean they have rocket launchers and grenade launchers. Maybe a mortar would fit in.
What do you guys think? Do you think it’s a hint of a new weapon? Or are they capturing that particular sound a mortar makes for something else???

This is our best guess, and most likely the truth.
Just them using a real life mortar for an in-game sound effect, if you ask me.
Possibly just capturing it for the sound. But I wouldn’t rule it out this early. They’re going to be introducing some new weapons to keep the game fresh. This might be one of them.

OT: I believe it’s just the RL sound effect, though I’m willing to accept a Mortar.

Yeah, not every real sound is going to represent what its going to be in the game.
Would make a great sound for a sniper rifle with some modifications here and there.
Not Halo enough for a sniper rifle though. Although, they could be going for a change-up on it.

Who knows. My balls are tingly.
It’s probably just for explosion sounds.
