It’s been confirmed there will be ten new weapons in Halo 4, plus many old classics returning. How many do we already know and what weapons do you want to see? Here’s a list of the known weapons:
Confirmed new weapons:
1)Light Rifle
2)Scattershot
3)Sticky Detonator (Rocket pistol)
4)Railgun
5)Storm Rifle
6)Forrunner sniper
7&8)Two other forrunner weapons, likely one explosive and one automatic rifle
(Seen in trailer, Source below)
A)EMP Grenade (not technically a weapon, so not included in count)
Rumors and expected:
Forrunner insta-kill beam, as seen in campaign demo (Disintegrates elite, possibly light rifle)
Forrunner sword, as seen wielded by knights
What I’d like to see:)
A Forrunner sidearm
some amazingly massive and badass forrunner melee weapons
either wieldable or customizable knives
The Classic old SMG
Other info
No dual wielding, 2 new grenades (one mentioned above), can now use pistol while carrying flag
Discuss, and remind me if I missed anything:)
Update: 3 Forrunner weapons added, seen in This Video by Duncain23 from Ready up live.
maybe a melee starting weapon? would be interesting at least.

I believe that was a light rifle that killed that elite. what I really want to see are the new forerunner vehicles.
I’d like to see the SMG return, but as a sidearm this time. It would be too redundant to have the SMG and AR taking up the same role and loadout slot.
I am pretty sure the “insta-kill” weapon you are thinking of was just the light rifle.

Fix’ed!

I hope it isn’t an instakill, and that was just a scripted event. I’d love to use that thing as a primary.

I know the light rifle is more powerful when scoped, but I didn’t think it could kill a fully shielded Elite. just think how OP that would be. Maybe a forrunner sniper?
I wanna see a pistol that shoots rockets.
I personally would love to see a “Promethean Energy Blade” as an alternative to the Energy Sword, for the reason that it would add to the variation of weapons and would make for a great red team weapon. of course, it would act functionally identical to the energy sword, unlike the gravity hammer
I can’t stop wanting a Forerunner sidearm. I’m picturing a small, break-action style weapon with a slow rate of fire and crazy recoil that packs some great stopping power.
Forerunner Handcannon anyone?
And the classic SMG would make a great secondary weapon as well, of course!

Maybe, but I prefer all weapons to have their own unique attributes, maybe an energy blade that is a killer up close (using melee button) but can also send out an energy burst to close targets, doing about 50% damage. This would however partially deplete ammo/charge and only have a limited range (though longer than a usual melee weapon)
The railgun will be my new second fav weapon behind the SPLASER which will always be #1 for me.
Update: new info about pistol
I’ll try to update this thread as much as posssible as and when news arrives:)
Update: 3 Unknown Forrunner Weapons, one looking alot like a new sniper. What do you think the others might be?

If you notice the chief was popping that elite before it disintegrated. So the chief prolly took down his shield before being yoinked by a Promethean.
