Weapons & Vehicles Comparison

1

From Halo: Reach and Halo 3 to Halo 4:

Pistol — Pistol (First Person)
Energy Sword — Energy Sword (First Person)
DMR — DMR (First Person)
Battle Rifle — Battle Rifle (First Person)
Assault Rifle — Assault Rifle (First Person [This is beautiful])
Mongoose
Carbine — Carbine (First Person)
Ghost — Ghost (Driving Perspective)
Warthog
Spartan Laser
Sniper Rifle — Sniper Rifle (First Person)
Rocket Launcher — Rocket Launcher (First Person)
Plasma Pistol
Needler — Needler (First Person)

Which weapon do you think looks the best? Note the graphical improvements; each weapon seems to have better textures, higher resolution, and a slightly increased polygon count.

Finding first person images is harder than I thought. I apologize for low-quality pictures. If anyone finds anything higher quality, please let me know!

halo 4 all the way

> halo 4 all the way

I meant which weapon specifically. (:

Overall the DMR is my favorite in appearance, but I think the best visual update since a previous appearance was the Carbine.

pffffttt

OK OK

uhm, I must say the plasma sword and the hog

6

I would say Warthog and Carbine, based on the pictures provided. Although, I do like the detail on the Assault Rifle and DMR.

7

I don’t know why, but the new look of the AR has been pulling me in since I first saw it.

The DMR and Spartan Laser look really good too though. I mean . . . they all look great but those caught my eye.

8

sniper

9

I always liked the Reach Assault Rifle, but for Halo 4, the Carbine looks best to me.

10

The gray casing of the Laser looks a little bland to be honest. After looking closely, some of the weapons don’t really even look like they’ve changed too much aside from color (Plasma Pistol, Needler, even Rockets).

The Sniper looks a little dull in terms of color compared to Reach.

I think either the BR or the Pistol (1 handed melee looks awesome) looks the best to me, even though the Pistol doesn’t look hugely different.

11

The Needler and Ghost looks smexy.

12

> The Needler and Ghost looks smexy.

That’s probably because they’re the Reach models.

It’s weird how 343i felt that some weapons/vehicles needed changing and others didn’t need changing whatsoever.

13

I think H4 improved all of them.

Mostly the Sword and Ghost.

I’m indifferent to the H4 Sword, it has the same handle as the Reach model and a slightly different blade. The H4 Ghost is exactly the same as the Reach Ghost, look closely.

Still not a fan of the new Sniper. From the side it looks amazing, but from the view from holding it it looks like a DVD player.

The Ghost doesn’t have the fuel thing on the side, though.

Different Color + Better shine = different.

17

Oh yeah thats a good spot. I wonder why they removed it?

18

I just realized that I love how Halo 4’s rocket launcher looks. It’s not THAT different than any previous incarnation, but the thicker rocket tubes, dark paintjob, and overall sleeker appearance make it look really badass

I’m also liking the pistol. It looks a lot like Reach’s, but cleaner, and with the handle from Halo 2’s magnum.

19

Actually it seems that the Reach Ghost in that image link has been flipped horizontally. The fuel thing/turbine is always on a Ghosts left side, and it appears that is still there on the H4 model as well from other images.

So it does seem that the H4 model is the Reach model reused. Fair enough I guess.

I don’t think so, because I don’t remember seeing that tank on the Ghost in Halo 4’s wargames footage. If it is the same model, I really like the new texture on it.
