New Weapon Announced......Rail Gun

Jump over to Gameinformer.com to check it out.

They look great. Curious why they decided to label the AR MA5D.

EDIT: Why does the sniper never have an ejection port? And where is the mag release for the DMR? Gunsmithing 101.

Ugh, looks and sounds like gun they scrapped from Reach.

I KNEW IT! mini gauss rifle! Who else called it!?

Rail gun?

Thought so some how I knew it was a railgun.

> The ARC-920 Railgun is a compact-channel linear accelerator that fires a high-explosive round at incredible speed, delivering both kinetic and explosive force to both hard and soft targets alike.

Hmm spartan laser cross rocket launcher?

I am liking the Raingun thus far. :smiley:

Well hell, looks like a bunch of people went and called this one early…

…But, despite now having a Sodding Clue as to how it’s going to fully work in game, it’s a somewhat interesting concept and I look forward to seeing/hearing more of it…

HALO 4 IS TURNING INTO QUAKE! ZOMG!!!

> HALO 4 IS TURNING INTO QUAKE! ZOMG!!!

That’s a change I wouldn’t mind.

Can’t wait to use it.

Yum Yum

Make it two! It was so gauss material the minute I saw it!

I am inclined to agree with you, sir/m’am (sorry, don’t know your gender).

Going to see it as the concussion rifle/bruteshot role in Halo 4.

Now we just need the Chronoscepter from the original Turok.

Sounds like a portable Gauss warthog turret.

Reminds me of a human version of the concussion rifle.

It’s rounds are both kinetic and explosive. I’m feeling like the chances of the grenade launcher returning is slimmer and slimmer. :frowning:

also… for the people who have not seen it in color yet

So the rail gun is nothing more than an updated Concussive Rifle/Brute Shot?

> fires a high-explosive round at incredible speed, delivering both kinetic and explosive force

Sure, I’ll take that.

New look, new name.

Same with the br.
