Thoughts on new forerunner weapons?

Boltshot was fun, but better when fully charged, reminded me of the mauler.

Scattershot only has the range when it can bounce off of walls and ceilings, unless you are point blank with it, it does not kill, it will need to scatter to hit the enemy. They human shotty in comparison has slightly less range, but does more damage seemingly.

The LR is prett nifty, its dual modes make it nice for different situations, but it has a medium sized clip and high RoF so you burn through ammo quick. It also seems to have more spread than the BR and DMR and Carbine.

The Suppressor (AR equivalent) is pretty sweet...it has dual modes as well, a burst mode similar to the smg, and a full auto, it does pretty good damage when full auto but burns through ammo like crazy.

The incineration cannon was sweet, I didnt get to use it, but watched a team mate use it, it is only 1 round, but when it shoots, it releases an explosive projectile that looks like a red fuel rod and explodes with fire like the flame grenade from Halo 3. You can not be too close to the enemy becuase the fire will spread and burn you which happened to my team mate lol

The pulse grenade is cool, works well on vehicles just long enough to slow them down for a kill or hijacking. Worsk well for chocke points on infantry, but in the open, the grenade is not as useful, it does a drain of your shileds over a couple seconds and when it explodes can kill if someone is injured already.

All in all I think the Promethean weapons are cool, they add a bit ofuniqueness to the game and a bit of balance to players who want a mix of human and covie specs.

I like all the new weapons and the disintegration of your opponent is a nice touch. love the scattershot the most because of it's reflective abilities. It's nice to see 343 making steps towards a wide variety of weapons and making promethean weapons that can counter the others.

I love the new Promethean Weapons, mainly for the fact they each are unique (Boltshot's "Shotgun / Mauler" like charge, Binary Rifle's Instant Kill, LR's Dual firing modes, etc.)....oh, and they disintegrate enemies upon death :D
