Many of us know that primary and secondary weapons will be availble for purchase with spartan points in Halo 4 along with armor mods. We also know that there are many armor permutations in the game, however at SDCC members of 343 stated that armor will be unlocked through rank.
My question is if we’re only using spartan points to by weapons, armor mods, and AAs (not sure if these are purchased), exactly how many primary and secondary weapons are there? 5 primary and 2 secondary are confirmed. What other primary and secondary weapons would you like to see?
I believe that it’s been confirmed that there will be 14 different starting weapons.
Apparently, there are 15 primaries and 2 secondaries.
There is a mod which allows you to carry 2 primaries however.
Any ideas on what they are or what you would like to see return as starting weapons?

As long as shotgun and Promethean weapons aren’t starter weapons, then I will be happy.

Well…I don’t have any suggestions-I’m pretty happy so far with their choices.
Apparently-the shotgun is a primary. Now I find this interesting as either they would have to constrict it to certain playlists or nerf it in someway.
I’m thinking the light rifle might be a higher end starting weapon,(shotgun and scattershot would suck). The only other primaries I can think of would be needle rifle and plasma repeater, but I don’t really want those. SMG and plasma rifle would be nice maybe even spiker.

I’m not going to make any suggestions since we will have so many new weapons.

The Scattershot is NOT a primary.
However-I’m pretty sure the Needle Rifle and the Plasma Repeater are OUT of Halo 4.
Hang on-I’ll give you a list of primaries:
Assault Rifle
Battle Rifle
DMR
Storm Rifle
Covenant Carbine
Shotgun
Light Rifle (Not certain)
That’s like…7!
im pretty sure 14 startign weapons, probably around 6 AAs, and probably alot of mods
Are sure about the shotgun though that seems a bit risky as a primary.

It’s risky if not implemented in the right way.
If they do make it one the power will be reduced and range will be extremely short.

Light Rifle probably. It doesn’t seem to give off that “power weapon” vibe like the Scattershot. So that’s 7.

Sure-that’s what I thought.
We’ll see how it works when the game comes out. If it’s OP or UP, we have the Cortana Web

Good point-I’ll add that to my post
So are magnum and plasma pistol going to be the only secondaries because I heard a rumor there would be more?
The Sniper takes up a lot of the screen

I don’t believe the Shotgun has been confirmed as a primary.
