With all the excitement over the return of the BR,DMR and Carbine I think alot of people have forgotten about the Promethean Light Rifle(single fire from hip, 3 shot burst in scope,best of both worlds) from the E3 campaign demo do you think it will be a standard loadout weapon in MP or an ordinance drop weapon and which weapon will be your tool of destruction on the battlefield
I haven’t forgotten lol
> I haven’t forgotten lol
Me neither, lol.
I have’t forgotten I’m just more excited about the Carbine…
I plan in using the lightrifle s much as possible.
Also, it’s a 3 shot burst not zoomed in, and a single shot while zoomed in.
FYI
thats good because im really lookin forward to it, cant wait to see the bulletin with a covenant and promethean weapon round up and all these new weapons in their multiplayer glory
I’m pretty sure it’ll be a loadout weapon as you get skins for it. So so far we have:
> Primary:
> Assault Rifle
> Battle Rifle
> DMR
> Storm Rifle
> Carbine
> Light Rifle
> Suppressor
> Secondary:
> Magnum
> Plasma Pistol
> Boltshot
We’ll probably have another Covenant weapon (Needle Rifle maybe?) and another Promethean weapon, so there’s 4 weapons from each class.
Also, the Light Rifle is 3 shot while zoomed out, single shot while zoomed in, not the other way around.
whoops sorry about got IT mixed up when typing it, EVEN BETTER!
It will be a loadout primary weapon. 
And yes it will be my rifle of choice from what I’ve heard.
I don’t know if it uses an H3-type blooming spread pattern on its burst shot, or if it’s laser-like and spreads only because of player/reticle movement, but that is of no matter. The LR is hinted at as to being the more difficult to use of the rifles.
It is because the weapon is a burst shot and that there is a way to reduce/limit spread on that burst (by zooming in) that I am excited for its use. And it is because it is said to be not as easy as the others to use that it may be the best rifle to use for someone who feels assists get in the way of a battle instead of helping it.
And if headshots disintegrate the enemy… Oh ya!
yeah im gettin limited too didnt know the skin was for that gun though thats awesome and yes dissintegrating enemies from long range is gonna be BOSS.
Light rifle skin comes with console not LE.
I have been patiently waiting for more info on the Light Rifle. I think it will be the one that is in my primary loadout. I will most likely switch between the BR/Carbine and the LR.
The gun looks sweet, sounds sweet, and disintigrates peopple as it is a Promethean weapon…so double bonus!! I would like to find out the specifics of the gun though, ie. How many shots to kill is it from the hip versus zoomed in? How long does it take to kill someone from the hip versus zoomed in? Is each single fire shot worth the same amount of damage as a 3-shot burst? How much ammo does it have? And how much ammo does a burst take up versus a single shot?
I was really excited for it. Then I saw that I could have my Carbine in silver.
I have not forgotten about the Light Rifle, in fact I was planning on making it my primary when I get access to it.
So it’s going to be like the old Halo 2 BR from the E3 multiplayer demo, but it can disintegrate people? AWESOME!
