Halo 4: Promethean Weapons Trailer - General

[video=youtube;snCG2GOHSoI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snCG2GOHSoI&feature=channel&list=UL[/video] 40 more days until this epic game is released! Dubstep trailer version for you dubsteppers. [URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15Ksq4dvLuk&feature=player_embedded[/URL]

Ugh, I wish it would come out for PC. I sold my 360 long ago

I could never play multiplayer with this game, the joystick on the consoles are too jittery for me it looks like I have parkinsons or something.

[QUOTE=Teh_Balrog;37813899]Ugh, I wish it would come out for PC. I sold my 360 long ago[/QUOTE] The return of Halo to the PC is a possibility, it's been hinted at several times by 343 in the past year, Windows 8 marketing featuring Halo 4, and several trailers saying "System requirements pending" after the Xbox requirements.

What exactly makes the Binary rifle special?

Damn these guns are awesome. Can't wait for this game!

Incineration Cannon just looks like a reskinned Fuel Rod Cannon

[QUOTE=Chocolate.;37814095]Incineration Cannon just looks like a reskinned Fuel Rod Cannon[/QUOTE] I don't recall the Fuel Rod having the ability to incinerate your target, not to mention all Covenant weapons are reverse engineered forerunner tech.

[QUOTE=Chocolate.;37814095]Incineration Cannon just looks like a reskinned Fuel Rod Cannon[/QUOTE] Its like a mirv. Once it explodes, its spawns a bunch of little bombs on impact.

If this game to PC with fucking Forge, holy shit, I would play the multiplayer all day, Halos multiplayer has always been really good, hope it comes to PC. With Forge, all those custom maps easy to use on PC.

I really hate how they played into every fps by showing the +10 YOU GOT A KILL!!! in the center of the screen. Reach did it right by having it in the corner. Anyways I can't FUCKING wait.

Hats off to 343 for making me as giddy as I was when I first saw Halo Combat Evolved. This looks like it's got so many new features, I can't wait to play this one. 3 was lackluster, ODST I loved to pieces and I thought Reach was the worst thing in the series. Cannot wait for this!

Can't help but find the new race's name completely out of place and unimaginative. Every other alien species has both a human name (which only humans use) and a real name, and real names are always something rather original. Or maybe Prometheans are actually named something else and this is just their human nickname but I don't think they've implied that.

[QUOTE=Skyward;37814044]What exactly makes the Binary rifle special?[/QUOTE] I believe it functions like the Battle Rifle when unscoped and a sniper rifle when scoped in.

[QUOTE=RG4;37815482]I believe it functions like the Battle Rifle when unscoped and a sniper rifle when scoped in.[/QUOTE] That's the light rifle.

Some of the sounds are just.... eh. Like the Suppressor, it sounds terrible.

[QUOTE=Delta616;37815442]I love how all your complaints are due to not having an education of Halo's lore or plot.[/QUOTE] Well if you are so educated please tell me why an alien race has a name derived from greek mythology, while there is no reason for it to have a human name.

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;37815508]Some of the sounds are just.... eh. Like the Suppressor, it sounds terrible.[/QUOTE] yeah i was expecting more of the promethean ones. all the other sounds kicked serious ass and i was like omg forerunners are gonna sound like tech orgasms, but instead they're actually sorta puny.

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;37815661]Well if you are so educated please tell me why an alien race has a name derived from greek mythology, while there is no reason for it to have a human name.[/QUOTE] The forerunner race and human race have ancient ties, they have been an influence to Earth, even when our race was just cave men. Why should I spend time explaining the expanded universe of Halo to someone who is perfectly capable of doing the research. Back on track to the Promethean name, they utilize the gift of "fire" to combat their foes.

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;37815857]That's a pretty weak explanation.

They apparently loved us and designed their tech to work with us. New Lore: Forerunners and Humans were created by the Precursors and we use to be very technologically advanced and the forerunners were jealous of us for some reason I think it's because the Precursors favoured us or something. Then we had a huge war with them and won but they de-evolved us but they still love us for some reason and that's we why can use their tech.

Also it just makes the devs look lazy by not developing their own game's universe and relying on other people to do that for them.

every fucking time this happens

the way they function seems like fancy covenant weapons :\ but they look cool

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;37815930] Also it just makes the devs look lazy by not developing their own game's universe and relying on other people to do that for them.[/QUOTE] This is why nobody will take you seriously, you say shit like this that is the complete opposite of how the writing process of Halo works.

[QUOTE=Fire Kracker;37816032]the way they function seems like fancy covenant weapons :\ but they look cool[/QUOTE] Well Covenant weapons are reversed engineered from Forerunner tech and weapons.

[QUOTE=MenteR;37815723]yeah i was expecting more of the promethean ones. all the other sounds kicked serious ass and i was like omg forerunners are gonna sound like tech orgasms, but instead they're actually sorta puny.[/QUOTE] The suppressor and the boltshot's normal fire sound terrible. The boltshot sounds OK when charged up but when shot repeatedly it just reminds me of World at War/Black Ops Zombies Pack-A-Punch'd weapons. Actually that's exactly what it sounds like...
