Bass Cannon: Wouldn’t it be neat if the Forerunners made some kind of directed sound weapon that emitted frequencies so low that it would increase the pressure so much that the enemy imploded? There could be different fire rates too, like automatic being like a really fast sine wave and maybe it could have a 360 degree bass blast that would knock out shields.
What do you think? What other ideas do you guys have for new weapons?
implosions…Kinda gory, no?
besides, i don’t think that emitting sounds at lower frequencies would cause things to implode, we just wouldn’t hear them…

skrillex… is alive 500 years in the future…and works for the UNSC…?
highly unlikely
If I’m correct, there are subwoofers that can cause the pressure in an enclosed area to dangerously increase. Maybe in the future they’ll make things implode? I dunno, I just thought it’d be neat

the reason why it wouldn’t work
you can have an enclosed space…on a large map…

But I said directed, as in all of the sound would be directed towards the enemy rather than all around like subs are today. EDIT: Or they could make them available on smaller maps only?

Flux Pavillion did bass cannon. Acting as if Skrillex is who started / only person to do dubstep is disappointing. Dubsteps been around for ages, just popularized in the last year or two. And it will be around in 500 years.
That in mind, I’m not even much of a dubstep fan.

it was just a joke…
no need to teach me things i already know

Joke or not your facts were wrong 
Killed by killer music, the ultimate badass. It better have a sick tune.
I have an idea! How about a similar gun that emits the Brown Noise, and the enemy Spartans soil themselves and are forced to run home to their mothers!
How would a gun with a 360 degree blast radius be fun?
District 9? Yeee boyyy
I’d very much like to see the Hard Sound Rifle used by ONI. But campaign-only. On some covert mission.
> Bass Cannon:
I got that far and started thinking this idea was a little fishy, then I read some more and realized you’re just trying to make a lot of noise…
i could see that comming into effect, maybe not the implosion part but maybe blast them back a few feet.
maybe make it like a glove so it would be pretty cool when you ground pound their sheilds with that 360 degree shot
Why not just have a shockwave canon/generator?
Point it somewhere, load up the beam and release a blast, where it hits a massive shockwave forms, throwing any enemy and/or vehicle into the air for a few seconds. Much like brute shot/concussion, but a tactical long distance weapon.
Here’s an idea that sadly wouldn’t work with the new (H2/3) health system:
A bleedthrough gun. I call it the EAR (Electric AR) or the EMAR (Electromagnetic AR). Basically it is a forerunner weapon similar to the UNSC AR, except the bullets are encased in a shield-disrupting energy shell. The weapon only deals health damage and has no HS ability.
It has a base kill time similar to the AR (full sheilds + health), however if the target has full shields and less than full health the EMAR will kill faster. The opposite is true if the target has less than full shields but full health.
Wasn’t the plasma sword back engineered Forerunner tech? I’ll have to go back and check but I’m almost certain it’s a form of “hard light”. Anyone catch Halo Legends: Origins part 1? In the Forerunner back story it showed five military class warriors fighting off the flood and they used a very different type of handheld energy weapon. If used alone would have one type of fire, but combined with the force of all 5 would have a very different effect. If you haven’t seen it go check it out on YouTube then comment about it.
