The shotgun clips through your face when you shoot.....

In the new audio video they posted the shotgun clips through your face every time it’s fired, allowing you to see through it… Is that gonna be in the final build or is this a slightly older build?

Yeah saw that…can’t even watch the shotgun part, because of that. It annoys me.

I know, this might be the one thing that makes me have to use the classic graphics, if that is in the final game I will not be able to use the shotgun in the new graphics with out going crazy.

Another thing about the shotgun…I wish it made that wierd noise when reloading that the classic does. It makes me smile.

Seeing as the shotgun in the video looks a lot like a Reach model I take it that they haven’t finished editing yet. They made this video simply to show off the new audio. Please don’t jump to any crazy conclusions like the people who freaked out over the AR looking like a Reach model in the trailer, or the way chief’s helmet looked in the trailer, just relax okay?

Of coarse. I can still nitpick. :wink:

> It’s pretty obvious that they are going to us this model, the only models they replaced were the AR and Pistol. The game is done, it has been done for a while, all they are doing now is bug fixes. No changes will be made. Also show me how I freaked out or jumped to a “crazy conclusion” all I asked was if this was in the final build or if this was an old build. Also I hate people like you. Don’t tell me what I can and can’t complain about, that is the point of this forum, to tell 343 what we think about what they are doing with Halo. Also it does no good to complain about a game after it’s done, if you complain before it is finish it can be fixed.

I said DON’T jump to a crazy conclusion, I never said that you had yet. Are you sure that the pistol and AR are all they changed? I don’t remember 343 saying that. The only new graphical rocket launcher looked like a Reach model too. My theory is that any weapon shown as a Reach model before the game’s release is going to be changed to look more like the original. They did say that they were doing a few last minute checks and edits before they would put this new game on the shelves and I’m pretty sure that weapon skins could be included in that. But I guess we won’t know for sure until the game’s release will we?

Edit: And I can’t tell you what you can and can’t complain about, it is your opinion and your right, I was merely giving advice and making a suggestion.

Shotgun-Reach model
Rocket Launcher-Reach model
Plasma Pistol-Reach model
Plasma Rifle-Reach model
Needler-Reach model
Assault Rifle-Halo 3 model
Pistol-Halo 3 model

The only things we haven’t seen are the Sniper and Fuel Rod.

Also a suggestion? A suggestion that defeats the purpose of the forum.

This. I also like the new metallic sheen to the shotgun. In Reach, it had a matte-like finish.
