The lights are on
Get a look at 343's redesigns of classic UNSC weapons and catch the debut of an all-new Halo gun.
Misriah Armory has been very busy. As you'll see in 343 Industries' designs and descriptions of some of the guns appearing in Halo 4, the manufacturer has a very lucrative contract with the UNSC. Old favorites like the assault rifle, battle rifle, DMR, and sniper rifle will all be returning. The very last weapon, the railgun, will debut for the very first time in Halo 4.

I hope this game doesn't suck. Come on, 343. I'm behind you but still not convinced.
I'take two of each please and a special biuld order for ten SMGS as well.
The Railgun looks absolutely devastating.
dangg guns be looking good
:o
The sniper rifle sounds cool, but the railgun sounds even cooler!
YES! I love that they are incorporating both the burst rifle AND the DMR. It would be interesting to see how they would function if you could set their fire rate like an actual rifle. Safe (needless in a game), single, burst, (maybe auto?)
Still want dual wielding and kind of want the needler rifle but as long as spikers and I personally do not like gauss turrets but this rail gun sounds sick I would love to see the plasma rifle make a return but my favorite weapon they added to reach was the grenade launcher
Returning gun, returning gun, returning gun, returning gun.......DAFUQ is this thing?
these are really cool! The rail gun is going to be a nice addition
So is that a hand held gauss cannon?
is it okay to just sit at my desk and grin ear to ear?
Anything new? Come on.......
Cool hope that they make some kind of new sniper it would be cool using a sniper with rounds that explode like the needler did.
