That gun is absolutely the best looking BR in any Halo game. He’s captured what I’ve always thought the BR should look like. Its perfect.
Even though the MP tuners took your beautiful weapon and made it horrible with 5 shots to kill, nothing can take away from your artistry. I love the color scheme and the scope and the animations. I’ll never ever use it since its a 5 shot, but the artist deserves an award.
If its a 4 1/3 burst kill I think it could be well implemented. And I agree the gun looks amazing.
I don’t see the big deal, “ohh noez 5 shot!” I dont understand.
> I don’t see the big deal, “ohh noez 5 shot!” I dont understand.
This is an art thread. Stay on topic.
We will all lament the mechanics when the game releases, but let’s give that artist a round of applause. That gun is beautiful. Useless, but absolutely stunning.
> I don’t see the big deal, “ohh noez 5 shot!” I dont understand.
Yeah I’m with you
Be even better with my article camo. Canada ftw eh?
I completely disagree with this. If the artist was trying to make a Battle Rifle that looked like it could be a modern-day weapon, they nailed it. And I do like the design. But what really irks me about it is that the UNSC does not design weapons like this. It looks good - it looks like a real gun. But it does not look like a firearm you would find in a Halo game. It does not look like the Battle Rifle.
It will take some getting used to for me.
Yeah the BR looks great, but I think all the guns shown so far does as well. They all have an amazing amount of detail to them.
BR looks great, I agree. The only weapon I have an issue with is the Sniper Rifle.

I find that the artist has captured the gritty feel of an somewhat, but not ideal, all purpose Spartan weapon. Its a sublime marriage of elegance and power. Its not powerful, as we all now know, but it looks like it should be.
That’s the magic of art my friends.

They really do.
I’m going to have to pinch myself during games so I can stop looking at the art.
Let’s be honest, we’re not worthy.

No offence but I find people who talk like this kind of annoying but I do enjoy the design of the Halo 4 BR.

None taken Horatio.
I believe it was William Wallace who once said, “The may take our damage, but they may never take OUR ARTISTRYYYYYYYYY!!!”.

Dear sir, I believe you’ve unwittingly unearthed the logic behind the decision to switch the BR to a 5-shot-kill. In the midst of a losing battle, I declare that I’ll find solace in being able to stare at those beautifully rendered polygons for just half a second longer before the inevitable. This alone will increase my fighting spirit tenfold as I spawn anew and surge into battle.
Furthermore, I might even be able to escape death after my energy shield is depleted by those first 4 shots, at which point I can further admire the design of my stylish utility weapon whilst cowering in a dark corner.
Guys, remember, that was NOT the final build, that was just an early E3 build. Everything is subject to change.
> Be even better with my article camo. Canada ftw eh?
I was hoping it has a little Canadian flag on it, sadly, it does not. 
> I don’t see the big deal, “ohh noez 5 shot!” I dont understand.
The BR has a 1.8 kill time while the DMR & Carbine have a 1.3-1.4.
It out performs it greatly.
It looks fantastic. But not like the BR. It’s too heavy, too big: not as elegant as we’re used to.

Except for the part where kill times are still being tweaked.

Which is why changing from 5SK to 4SK is being suggested by the community.
