Hey guys, just thought I’d cut together a few weapon pictures for a comparison from Halo 3 to Halo 4. I wanted to do this, because most people would rather do Halo 3 to 4 rather than Reach to 4. I also wanted to do this because there has been a lot of controversy over the weapon designs, and I wanted to see if they are true.
The AR Comparison Photo
This is an OK change. I don’t see the problem. I like the view Halo 3 AR a lot more, but that’s probably just nostalgia.
The BR Comparison Photo
I don’t see why they changed the BR this much. It seems like change just for the sake of it. I really hate the new look. What do you guys think?
The Magnum Comparison Photo
Personally, I prefer the Halo 4 version. Although, once again, nostalgia wants me to pick the Halo 3 magnum, the 4 magnum just looks a lot better. You should be able to see your whole hand, it shouldn’t be scrunched up like in 3.
Rocket Launcher Comparison Photo
Is it just me, or does it look almost the exact same. I’m glad they went back to this look, rather than keeping the Reach design.
Shotgun Comparison Photo
Um, I can see that it looks cool, but they shouldn’t have changed it that much…
The Sniper Comparison Photo
This is the weapon that most people are mad about. I could see the reason during E3 when it looked like wall-e looking at you, but it looks great now. I like the new sight, however, I wish you could see the stand coming off the bottom. Also, they should change the sight to green, just saying.
The Spartan Laser Comparison Photo
I like this change as well. It’s not too much, but it makes the weapon look a lot better. The screen coming off the side doesn’t have to be there though…
So what do you guys think of these changes? Personally, I like that they changed the sniper from the Wall-E look, it looks much better. Most of the other ones I love too, except the shotty and BR, change for the sake of change is not OK when you are making a game in a beloved franchise.
I like all the new weapon looks execpt for the shotgun and the sniper. I’m glad with most of the changes because most of the guns look like actual guns now instead of toys like in Halo 3.
I never liked the sniper designs because of that -Yoinking!- screen on the side of the scope, how big that scope is. The new sniper scopes looks a little bit better than reach’s sniper. The only other change I don’t like is the DMR getting a -Yoinking!- rubik’s cube on top too.

What bugged me the most in Halo 3 was the lack of triggers on the weapons…
my favourite weapon of all time in any game was the Halo 3 Shotgun and I loved it but I have faith that I’ll enjoy the Halo 4 version. The design is nice but it doesn’t really make me think of a shotgun.

Huh. I did’nt know that the guns did’nt have triggers in halo 3. Anyway, I am also glad most of the weapons SOUND like guns now too. The Assult Rifle sound in Halo 3 was honestly kind of pathetic. The Battle Rifle’s sound was a little weak as well.
Would have given you props for doing all the weapons, where possible, and without the hit on Reach.
As it stands, your list is incomplete without the DMR and there is not need to have an incomplete list.
Your attitude towards Reach and change is distasteful. It’s ok to change the sniper but not the BR because of your POV, not because of Halo’s belovedness.

Um, I did Halo 3 to 4, I wasn’t doing Reach weapons. If you want me to add it I will, but I just wanted to do Halo 3 weapons.
