Face it, they’re just reskinned versions of Covies.
BRING ON THE FORERUNNER WEAPONS IN HALO 5 343, THEY BETTER BE GOOD.
Gotta say I won’t be using any but the Scattershot. The rest don’t interest me in the slightest.
I’m a UNSC weapon guy.

I beg to differ, drink my liquid sunshine!
Yes they’re just re-skinned, unoriginal human and covie weapons.
Because the human shotgun can bounce pellets off walls, the Br can switch fire modes, the plasma pistol and magnum have a seperate shotgun-like second fire mode and the fuel rods and rockets split into multiple projectiles with a massive radius. Not to mention the EMP effect of the frags and plasmas.
OP, i’m sorry but i’ll sound like a jerk saying this but… You’re wrong.
They are very different, just one extremely easy to tell difference is this, these fire lasers, Storm weapons fire balls of plasma.
Sorry bro but your opinion is wrong.

Sure they can do special things, but what is different about them in the concept?
The Scattershot is the only amazing one for me, it looks really different to the Shotgun in nearly everyway and looks really fun to use.
Just goes to show 343 aren’t that good designing weapons as Bungie were(And Bungie were phenomenal at it).
Where are weapons like this?

Can you say there is any weapon in the sandbox at all like that? That concept art beats all Pro-weapons.
Promeathean weaponry is what you get when the Covenant and UNSC Engineers make a baby together.
It is a mix of the two, with its own aesthetical design, it will most likely translate pretty well, I believe. I really dig the sound of the Lightrifle for instance.

Aside from the fact that they defy gravity by floating into position, disintegrate enemies and most have secondary fire modes?
The promethean weapons are brilliant, just because you like some concept art or fan-art more doesn’t mean it’s any good. I for one, hate the picture in that link. It’s ugly and brutish.
There might not be, but with your logic (Saying you want a weapon that was concept art and not included in any game/ fiction), surely I can complain that there is no energy crossbow or explosive throwing knife?

NOOOOOOOOO.

Your judging this by the look of the weapon that you haven’t even has the chance to play with yet???
clap…clap…clap…cla nah forget it.
They are specifically designed to be similar to their Covenant and UNSC counterparts, but with some advantages and disadvantages, while you may not agree with that design philosophy, the weapons functionality wise are still different and interesting, I mean why would you not want to use the Incineration Cannon?
I’m guessing you didn’t read the bulletin or watch those videos where they said they went through like 200 different ideas. So whether they are “re-skinned” covvie weapons, it doesn’t matter cuz they look sick.
Plus all I gotta say is, Light Rifle. 
i like all of them,
Question, will the promethean pistol be a secondary weapon that we can add as classes? or Power Weapon?

I cant agree more.
Listen buddy you do realize the concept of weapons and similar patterns even throughout thousands of years and light years.
Look at math, Regardless of how you name your numbers it will ALWAYS work. 2 + 2 is always 4 regardless of where you are. Of course not counting other dementions. Even then.
Now with weapons it’s more likely the Prometheons will have weapons similar to ours in many ways. Because while making a weapon there’s only some things you can do. They use “Light” and of course needed to use these Light Guns in a number of ways.
For example at some point it’s likely any civilation while making projectiles will say “Lets have a gun that shoots multiple shots at once” (Shotgun/Scattershot) or “LEts make a weapon for longer ranges” (Binary/Light Rifle) and so on.
They act like Human weapons as far as projectile speed to show off the more advanced nature of them. They are more of a mix, 50/50 or 60/40. Whatever.

That’s an interesting point considering that much of the Covenant tech is borrowed from the Forerunners, canonically speaking.
Something tells me you must be either stupid, or had only played a few of the Halo games, i.e Reach and ODST.
The Promethean weapons, to my knowledge, seem to all have two modes and really operate in a different format to Covenant technology. I think they offer a new, fresh take on current ideas.
Also, and this is going to be blunt, if you honestly want NEW weapons that would break the equation of the Halo game universe than you can go to video game hell with all the other casuals that influence the ruin Halo: Reach before production even began.

Haha, wow… Loving that stupid old, “casuals ruined the game” argument. Come on man, no-one ruined Halo Reach, if anything, overly competitive MLG type players are the ones who ruin games, when they push for the entire game to be made to cater to their idea of perfect, predictable, repetitive gameplay and not to allow for everyone to play and have fun as they see fit.
That being said, Halo 4 is offering more weapons and more balance options, which will give more available weapon sets and play style variations than any Halo game before. Personally, I am quite excited to see it, and the Promethean weapons all give a happy medium between UNSC and Covenant weapons.
I don’t like the binary rifle. It doesn’t sound fun.
