Tallgeese Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 So according to this new article: http://www.gameranx.com/updates/id/8782/article/halo-4-leaked-weapons-include-fuel-rod-cannon-and-binary-rifle/ The Fuel Rod seems to have a new look similar to the style of the 'STORM' The Binary Rifle looks pretty cool and really looks like it could be a Promethean version of the Sniper Rilfe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCPO Mayh3m Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 I love the quote at the end of the article. "Like with most rumors, they should only be taken with a grain of salt." Anyways, I am sure the Fuel Rod is still yellow, it is in a dark area after all form the looks of the picture. As for the PromSniper, It looks like an Edit of the current PromRifle. imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Biggles Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 This is great news Glad to hear about new weapons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 I love spoilers, it just fuels me more for getting and playing the game lol. Agreed...these need to be taken with a grain of salt, but as far as the Fuel Rod goes, I think it will be dark and blue, it matches the 'STORM' motif. Also the covie weapons appear to be darker colored looking than their covie counterparts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen it before, on the first complete Spartan Ops gameplay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Element Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 i'm sure its still yellow as well. Just because the guys we are fighting have a new name doesnt mean that they didnt originate from the covenant. The dark color with neon blue would be to much of change from the covenant weapons that we know, i dont like it either. and the rifle is probably just an edit of the light rifle as Mayh3m said above 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WonderWombat Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 That fuel rod looks awesome. Not to keen on the binary rifle's name. Makes me think a blind man would use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinreaper Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I can't help but call the fuel rod pic a total fake. The geometry on it is almost exactly spot on to the Reach version of it, and I highly doubt they would just use the existing model and add a blue "tex_bump_env_illum.shader" to it. If anything, the fuel rod should like a cross between the Halo 2 and Halo 3 variant, seeing as how this group of covenant that we encounter is a rouge lost group of deepspace dispatchers that still do not know that the Covenant fell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SykoWolf Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Why is it called Binary rifle? Usually when you name a weapon you name it after its traits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with this. It's obvious the picture has been in some sort of editing software, because of the "whiteout" at the top of the pic. Why is it called Binary rifle? Usually when you name a weapon you name it after its traits It IS named after it's traits! It fires 1's and 0's at people at a superluminal velocity. lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardent Prayer Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I like how the Promethean Sniper looks. It just needs a bigger scope The Fuel Rod gun looks good as it is in the picture. I would like a new look to a weapon that we have seen for years with a different color scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choot 'em Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 I believe the image of the Promethean Sniper is legit. I found the actual screenshot that the image in the article was pulled from. I got the image from Halowaypoint. It is a Spartan Ops mission screenshot posted under the images tab for Halo 4. Look at the Promethean Knight in the image. That weapon is alot longer than the Promethean Light Rifle. Here is the image posted in the article. And here is an image of the Light Rifle... There is a noticeable difference in the length and shape of the barrel. The Fuel Rod Gun on the other hand does in fact look fake, in my opinion, unless it is just an extremely poor quality image. And after thoroughly searching for an original image, I have produced 0 results. Thanks for the info Tallgeese!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 I wouldnt mind a change up to some of the covie weapons to seem more dark and mysterious, but I agree the Fuel Rod is probably fake. The Promethean sniper on the other hand is legit as Choot'em pointed out. Thanks Choot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bashful Brute Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hmm looks pretty sick. Almost like that weapon leaked a while back, "The Reaper". Now that was a cool weapon. Too bad it was fake.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Yeah the reaper was indeed faked, but the Binary Rifle has been seen in a number of official shots and vids so it is legit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
