Halo 4

Halo 4 Weapons Vid Dishes Out Aural Violence
Written Thursday, August 09, 2012 By Lee Bradley
View author's profile

Microsoft has released a new trailer focusing on the weapons of the UNSC.

Distributed via Halo Waypoint and slapped below for your viewing pleasure, the vid features both new and old weapons, ranging from the trusty old Assault Rifle all the way up to new stuff like the Sticky Detonator, the Railgun and the Saw.

For 343 Industries' first proper stab at the venerable series, the audio for all of the weapons has been built from the ground up. Have a listen and see what you think.

Halo 4 is out on November 6th, 2012.

Huh... both the DMR and the Battle Rifle are in! O_o (I didn't know dat.)

Weird, but I wonder how people will take preference.

@#1 I believe I read that they made it so the BR would be more at home in short to medium range engagments with the DMR being used for medium to long distance engagments. Obviously the sniper will be for extreme ranges.

Don't get me wrong, the sounds are great and I'm looking forward to this game just as much as the next person, but I think that they shouldn't have changed sounds too much. Sounds such as the shotgun, sniper rifle etc shouldn't have been change that much from what it was before because they're such iconic sounds, sounds that have been in pretty much every Halo game and to drastically change them that much, I'm not sure I think that was a good idea...

SAW looks OP, and Hopefully the rail gun is stronger against vehicles then it appeared in the video.

RAIL GUN!! Time to get a few FRAGS with that old baby! Also very nice to see more variety in the weapons! We will have at least twice as many as this I'd imagine with the new weapons from the new race of enemy (forget their name) and the covenants arsenal! Cannot wait =)

sounds good but doesn't sound like halo, will ave to see how the covenant weapons sound to be sure, of course it could turn out to be a stroke of genius that they've re done them all

The guns look and sound awesome but the best thing I can glean form this trailer is that the medals look MUCH better(excellent, actually) than they did in the E3 build where they were just blue/yellow ugly icons.

Should bring back the SMG and Scoped Pistol as well if they are having the DMR and Battle Rifle in it.

Hmm, a rail gun, now thats an old school sci-fi gun. Decent split of weapons, hopefully decently balanced.

@23, the magnum may have a scope, though not sure.

I honestly think, the way the load outs are being setup, I think that it could work decently. Enough variation to things to split up gameplay, not to much base variation.

I hope theres a classic game play settup, where power weapons are already on the map.

@9 I also agree. I think that's my main problem with Halo 4. The iconic sounds and images that make it easy to go "Yup that's a Halo shotgun. Yup that's Master Chief" are gone. I understand that things need to change, but for being set only 4 years after Halo 3...sure does seem like everything has changed way more than it would with only 4 years.

@#23/#25: The magnum does have a 2x scope. Pause the video around the 0:30 mark.

Maybe the video didn't do all the sounds justice but coming from someone who shoots a lot of real guns, they all seems a bit muted and didn't resonate very well, even when compared to most other shooters. Hope it sounds better when I get this game.

I don't understand why 343 Industries makes such a big hooey over their weapon sounds. All it makes me see is how I miss the crack of the sniper rifle and how nothing sounds right.

Since the video says "UNSC weapon sounds" I am assuming another trailer with Covenant and Promethean weapons will be released at another date yeah well the weapon sounds are different so what he had 5 shooters worth of the old weapon sounds I say its high time for a fresh new perspective looking forward to this for the very reason that its gonna be different we have seen Bungie's Halo and it was great so I say lets give 343 a chance before we total reject their new vision of Halo.

All these trailers got me playing Halo: Reach again and I am absolutely loving it. The chance to have 3 months practice is actually making the wait bearable.

I LOVE HALO! (and always will)

Incidentally, I pre-ordered the limited edition console this morning. WOOOO!

Most of them sound good, but the rocket launcher and sniper don't. They both sound like a weird cross between the gauss cannon and the beam rifle.

But, it's pretty hard to actually make out what's going on with so many background explosions.

when they are showing the rocket launcher part, you can see a sort of promethean pistol kind a thingy. its in the last scene where he kills a dude on top of a platform, he switches to his secondary which is the pistol thingy.
(it looks awesome)
