Bungie has released information and a few screens on some of the new Halo: Reach weapons! Obliterating alien scum from planet to planet is always fun, and in Halo: Reach, a few new weapons have been added to make it all the more fun!



"The Magnum gets squirrely if you go all out and squeeze off rounds as fast as you possibly can. Real squirrely." said Bungie. What can we expect from this gun? Well it's definitely for close range, and will be most effective at either short range or mid range. Besides, squirrely long range doesn't sound good at all!



"It’s a bit different that the Plasma Rifle you’ve become accustomed to. It still sends out a steady stream of bright blue plasma bolts, but the cadence will taper off as the weapon overheats. And while you’ll never need to worry about it rendering the weapon useless as it cools, you’ll need to vent it out if you want to run it at full speed using the reload button." - Bungie

Dual wielding has been removed in Halo: Reach, and so this weapons purpose seems to be to create a suitable replacement for dual wielding. The Repeater is a counterpart to the Assault Rifle basically.



"The Plasma Launcher can send a volley of one to four plasma explosives toward your opponent, depending on how long you keep your finger on the trigger. How many rounds you’re prepping is communicated to you through a nifty combination of visual and audio cues. And when you see and hear it coming your way, you need to find some cover. Fast." - Bungie

The rounds are tracked by both infantry and vehicles, and the gun has a magnetism that is more so similar to the Needler than the Missle Pod. Vehicles are easily hit with this gun due to their size, but if you've got good aim this gun could be used on a ground enemy, which if they're coming your way may not be the best idea, but we won't know that until we try.



"The Focus Rifle takes the Sentinel Beam and the Beam Rifle and combines the two weapon’s traits for some deliciously deadly peanut butter and chocolate type death dealing action. Zoom in and hold the focused beam on your opponent and you’ll tear through their shields and take out their health pretty quickly. Even if you don’t kill your enemy, you can bet they’ll be encouraged to give up their ground and get behind something that doesn’t smell like burning." - Bungie

This gun sounds very interesting. I think most peoples initial perception of it (if not well acquainted with the Sentinel Beam and Beam Rifle) will be something to the likes of a flamthrower, one that can be as straight as a laser.



"If you point and shoot with a single pull of the trigger, you’ll send an explosive round out into the world. If it hits your target dead on, it will explode. If it bounces, it’ll arm much like a frag and explode after a short spell. But if you hold the trigger after you fire, the round will not detonate until you release your death grip. If you let the round come to rest, it’ll remain in play until you decide that it’s your opportunity to blow. And if you want to arc it and time the detonation mid air using the same method, you can do that, too. The round itself will do impact damage to an opponent even if you don’t detonate it, much like frag grenades now will, and when it does explode it also produces a fairly sizable EMP blast that will damage and deactivate the type of stuff you would expect it too." - Bungie

Deadly gun, anyone? This gun basically gives you a controller for your grenade, which is great, especially for those grenades that thing they are boomerangs.

Then there is everything that we are already used to that has been tweaked a bit:



Long range combat is what this gun was made for! Then there are the sniper guns on Halo which outrule this by far.



Only change logged in the assault rifle is additional accuracy, which is great. Hold 'em steady!



The Warthogs drive exactly the same, but there is something on the top to check out. First, the chain gun will overheat after prolonged use, which means no more non-stop shooting - you actually have to be good! Second, the Warthogs mounted with a Scorpion come with a machine gun turret.



What's new with the wraith? Can't you tell the colors are awesome now! Instead of just purple and purple only (minus the occassional grunt "content" splattered) the Wraith now has some green added it. A small difference, but it does lots for the Wraith.

lol pro pipe any resembalence to noob tube

the magnum in halo 1 was so awesome and over powered...
now it seems they are making it act more like a pistol in this game

I lol'd at pro pipe (Noob Tube).

Now every one is going to noob tube in Halo Reach.

Pro Pipe Looks like a giant Plasma Gun

Hopefully the Magnum is actually a pistol, cause in Halo 3 it was like a bolt action gun it shot so slow. Also you forgot about the new helicopter
