BaconShelf Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 So, a new warthog turret idea; a Railgun turret. Before people say we have too many, allow me to explain. The Railgun turret is a one-shot against infantry and light vehicles, with little/no effects on heavier vehicles. The weapon would require a charge up of about 2-3 seconds. I can think of it as a less OP Guass turret, which dominates everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gojira Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Sounds good, I'd be happy if they had this in Halo 5, heck they could replace Rocket Hog with it. One question, would it have the throwing effect on smaller vehicles (as the Railgun and Concussion Rifle have) if it's not a direct/critical hit?

AnimalDenWinter Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Totally. That sounds good. I agree it wouldn't be OP at all! However, it would be pretty ****! If this was put in the game, surely it should be on a map where there's no massive vehicles like the: Scorpion or Banshee. Because then it would be fair.

BaconShelf Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 I figure it would work nicely alongside the Guass. if the guass was made more redundant against infantry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Of Harts Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 I think they should replace the gauss hog with this. But it still shuld do quite a bit of damage against heavier vehicles. Not as much as gauss but considerably more than default. So the default will be better for infantry, railgun would be better for vehicles. Perfect!

DN2012 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Actually, this sounds like a really cool idea. The rail gun is already a super cool weapon so a rail turret would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi1176 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 I think that would kind of replace the guass hog and it kinda seems the same of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Heck, a Railgun mounted turret in general would be a cool idea. It'd be very useful in a fortified base map instead of concealing a Gauss Warthog with blocks in forge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Composite Armour Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 I don't know why the UNSC don't have a tank with a Railgun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconShelf Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I sort of imagine it as less damage than a Guass hog (a little bit) but a 1-2 second charge to give people time to avoid it. @Maestro whatever happened to the stationary Warthog Turrets Ron ODST? They were so cool... Shame we can't forge them:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Composite Armour Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Also, isn't this just a Gauss hog with a charge up? The Gauss is a rail gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Is not JL Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 A railgun turret as a placeable turret would be nice, but having it on a Warthog renders either it or the gauss hog unnecessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadly Just AL Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I've thought of having something like that before, but then again I've thought of a Splaser Hog too. Lol. But it could work, not too OP due to a challenge with aiming and the charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buns Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 A railgun turret as a placeable turret would be nice, but having it on a Warthog renders either it or the gauss hog unnecessary. I agree with this. The Gauss hog is just a bigger more powerful railgun. A RailGun turrent for Dominon would be cool for custom maps. Also a Splaser hog sounds neat but I wouldn't want that in matchmaking maybe it should be just available for forge maps? AND WHY NOT PUT THE TROOP TRANSPORT HOG IN FOR GULITYS SAKE I don't know why the UNSC don't have a tank with a Railgun. Because the UNSC doesn't have people like you designing their vehicles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeckoningZebra1 Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 I think this is a great idea, but I think the one thing I would like to suggest as to keep it from becoming OP, is with light vehicles like the ghost, maybe not destroy it one hit but in two. I believe this would be a great wharthog turret for competitive play, and I'd love to see this in Halo 5. Great Idea, M&M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinWarrior Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 I think... This was planned, check the Artbook... I'm pretty sure there is a Railgun turret in there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zRexx Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) You know what I'd like: a buffed up version of the normal machinegun turret for anti-air. Make it have a section you stand on (like a warthog turret) and it would be split into three spinning coils with dozens of barrels in each, essentially a triple minigun. However, it would have a spin-up time before firing, it would overheat pretty fast, and you could not unmount the turret (makes sense considering it is THREE miniguns in one). You'd have to be pretty accurate with it because if you miss too many shots you'd overheat before killing the incoming banshee, so although it'd be extremely powerful (being able to shred through banshees efficiently), it'd take a lot of skill to use. Probably only for BTB though, as this thing would be pretty OP in 4v4 or 5v5. Maybe it would also have limited ammo, and said ammo would regenerate over time as the team gets more kills without using it. Perhaps a good alternative for personal ordnance, at least in BTB. The two vehicles that could be used to counter the turret could be Scorpions and Manti/Mantises, maybe they would have extra damage resistance against the turret.What do y'all think?
