We got details about the new gun that appeared in the OXM Cover of Halo 4 as well.
What do you think?
Well it’s safe to say that at this point it could end up handling and behaving just like the Concussion Rifle or a toned-down version of the Gauss Turret itself…
…Regardless I look forward seeing just what kind of Firepower this Weapon possesses…
Love the Railgun. My new favorite Halo 4 weapon.

Why are you hyper linking to this video? I’ve seen you do this at least twice…

shameless self-promotion again I see.
As long as the Rail Gun doesn’t go through objects (i.e., walls), I’m fine.

Well then you sir are on the light-side of witnessing my posts it seems…
> shameless self-promotion again I see.
It almost sounds as if you’ve come to expect better…
…Interesting to say the least that this is the first time you kind souls have complained about that…

Oh no I find the vids funny, I’d just hate to have you on my team.
Great, now we have an anti-armor sniper rifle.
I wonder, does this railgun serve a similar purpose to the Spartan Laser?
It’s a (presumably) instantly-traveling (hitscan) round that is effective against hard targets?
I’m just curious to see how it’s implemented. The Splaser was seriously underused in Halo:Reach in my opinion, and should have seen a larger application as an anti-vehicle weapon, instead of the sniper rifle gaining anti-vehicle capabilities. The railgun might be weaker than the laser, allowing a tank, for example, to take multiple hits. That might be best if it’s like a sniper rifle, rather than have the ACTUAL sniper rifle fill this role.
That’s my hope. This will have to be treated pretty seriously as a power weapon if its implementation is like this, I think.

I like this idea a lot more than the sniper functioning as a team’s anti-vehicle weapon all the time.

If it’s any kind of consolation, I do try and filter out the Players that aren’t acting what is in my opinion “Like a Sod” and only betray the others…
…It’s doubtful I know, because my definition of someone who is playing “Like a Sod” would be all except me…
…Either way I apologise with the Link being glued to damn near all of my posts…
…Sincerely…

But anyway, back to the point of the Rail-Gun/Gauss Cannon/Whatever the hell, I truly hope it doesn’t end up being “That Weapon”, which for me would be the Weapon that everyone else annihilates me with and the one that I am incapable of using…
Meh, I was hoping we’d get to see the assault carbine. Railgun kind of came out of left field.

Looks like it will be brute shot type of gun.
Rail gun? I want one.
Now.
Design-wise (which is really the only info we have) I like the gun a lot. I’m excited to see what it can do, but the name suggests it’s going to be hella powerful.

This.
It definitely looks interesting. From the picture alone, I kinda thought it was going to be related to the Focus Rifle, but after I read the description I was like “wow, this’ll be sweet.”
It sure looks and sounds like an awesome gun, it reminds me of a slimmed down Gauss, less power more mobility, a nice addition to spartan laser and rocket for vehicle killing and/or multikills. I just hope it’s as good as it sounds and not another let down (concussion rifle), without being to good (Reach sniper).
UNSC Concussion/Brute one-round gun anyone? Seems to me this might be like a vehicle harrasing gun, not vehicle killing but its able to knock or stun vehicles
Im loving how te Rail gun is lookin, now when is part I like to see this bad boy in action huh? hehehe…
