SNIPER REDESIGNED :D unsc carbine and PV

Alright guys, they just released a new video on waypoint showing off 2 new weapons. Anyways, I’m going to talk about the things that caught my eye.
The first thing is, THEY REDESIGNED THE SNIPER!
The one we saw at e3 was an eyesore, to say the least. Fellow memebers here started calling it the “wall-e”. I’m very glad they redesigned our baby.
Second, the revealed a new unsc carbine! It looks great, but why? I don’t believe its nessessary, since we have an AR. What’s your opinion? Discuss.
Alright, and this isn’t part of the video but this concerns me greatly. This is about promethean vision, and how I think its still OP. The e3 build had it so that its usuage time was 5 seconds and recharge time was three. From then on, we heard it was nerfed, but only on recharge and usuage. I think that’s not enough. There is still NO disadvantage to using it. What’s the point of using hard light shield to block the shotgun when you can PV and see the guy from around the corner, and you can just turn and run? You see what I mean? They MUST have some lsort of disadvantage to using it. 343 said PV is for noobs, and I can’t wait until halo 4 drops and everyone is using that ability. Then they’ll think differently

EDIT: turns out it’s an LMG, not a carbine. Regardless, I can’t see it being a loadout weapon, otherwise it would render the AR useleess and inferioir. Is it an ordinance drop?

It’s not a carbine…
it’s a LMG…

Was it really needed to make another thread about these things?

Here’s a link to the video where the sniper shows up.

It think it looks pretty cool, but it looks like the only thing they did was change the color of the lens.

Bud, you posted here… first even. You contributed to the life of this thread by complaining about this thread existing.

For some reason I cannot stand you.

I’ve heard that the SAW (the thing you refer to as a Carbine) is a power weapon.

Actually, I was making the thread concurrently while others made theirs. Its the long explination on why it took so long to post.
OT: does anyone know if it was confirmed the lmg is a ordinance?

Yes it is confirmed as ordnance :slight_smile:

Oh? Ok then.

My apologies.

Edit: Yes, it is an Ordinance Drop.

How come there’s 3 precision weapons and 3 automatics, and it’s the Automatics that should get removed? what?
I think it’s a perfect addition, and should stay.

The thing is, the precision weapons are all balanced. While, the auto weapons, the LMG would dominate. Also, thanks for confirming it as a ordy weapon.

The sniper rifle looks a lot better now. However, I still think it the scope should be half the size it is now because it is taking up way to much space on the screen.
