Unique in-game skin for Assault Rifle...

Does anyone else think this could be the Reach AR making a return? o_0

Discuss.

Edit: And before someone else replies with…

YES I ALREADY KNOW!

Edit 2: I am only referring to the aesthetic traits of the Reach AR, not it’s mechanics. Apologies if my post was misleading.

Hopefully or ce

That would be changing the model. A skin only changes the texture.

plz no.
I want a cool looking AR, like a black AR or something.

I dont know maybe. I think it is going to have the yellow stripe maybe. BUT MY AR IS MAKEING A RETURN! HALO 3 ACCURACY WITH A BUFF IN DAMAGE WOOT!

> That would be changing the model. A skin only changes the texture.

They could change the textures to match those of Reach, Halo 3 or Halo CE, i would like that. I imagine they done the same for all weapons in Halo 4, i just hope it ain’t like COD or Gears of War

It’s one of those “pin up doll” poses with either Arbiter, Cortana, or Sgt. Johnson. Sorry about the news.

> That would be changing the model. A skin only changes the texture.

Hmmm… well you could be right about that, however it wouldn’t bother me in the slightest if they brought it back.
I’ve actually grown fond of the Reach AR model/general look, and would be happy to use it in H4.

Sure, they could re-use the Reach AR to save time and money, but it would feel cheap to say the least. I think they have a new AR, and that Halo now like most other “gun games” support custom skin for your guns, since our avatars still will be Red vs Blue and hence quite a like.

Its a skin – that’s all just changes the color or texture

Im not sure how this will look but I will have it .

Yes, someone has already told me this, and I’m fully aware of the difference between skins and models…
so please don’t insult my intelligence.

No…

I had this same idea, I think it would be cool to have like different models of the weapon as “skins”. I like the new look of the BR but I would like to see maybe a skin that lets it have its halo 3 look

Watch it be animated flames similar to the Gears 3 beta skins. Better than a flaming helmet.

I don’t think he was insulting your intelligence. He was just informing you. He probably didn’t see the other post saying the same thing.

Well in that case, I forgive you.

this

But this does hopefully prove that weapon aesthetic customization is in Halo 4 in a substantial way, which is always cool.

Well, it seems that most of the people are under the assumption that the weapons will only get different textures… but I for one would much rather have different models instead. Having different textures seems too similar to CoD for my liking.

The Reach AR won’t work since the bloom works well with the weapon. Since they’re trying to remove bloom to make a few vocal minority happy then the weapon won’t work anymore and be too underpowered to all weapons.
