WTF HAVE THEY DONE! That is a disgusting design...

the new sniper actually seems like a more advanced version of the H1 sniper:





they made the actual scope a bit bigger and the display actually readable.
imo it's accurate and i do like it. just wish it were just a tiny bit smaller.

Man, you are easily offended :P

i agree with ya Caboose. I would choose h1 sniper over h4 sniper.

Its a different art style man, just like Bungie did with Reach, 343 is doing it with Halo 4. And 343 is trying even harder to give Halo a different look, just because they want to make new Halo games stand out from the Bungie style. Its a big scope, and it looks different from the old ones. Get over it :P

It just looks like some rusty, fallout themed technology. It just seems awkward when advanced technological architecture present.

I think they wanted you to feel like this: Hey! Lets put you on an advanced forerunner world in which your "human" weapons will look like garbage compared to forerunner technology.

I think its a technique that 343 wants to use in order to immerse the gamer with their world.

Thats just the lighting of the level :P We haven't seen the sniper in any other context, excluding that one little bit of gameplay.

I agree with you on the different art style part. And they have done a really good job so far on making things different but still look Halo and fit in with the general design - until now, that Scope is really really bad and does NOT fit Halo at all... it's horrid and they better change it...

Although tbf, it could just be a bad photo..

Halo 4 best have Fred/Kelly/Halsey/Linda

Maybe, at least a easter egg...

Linda was in Halo Anniversary.

i assume you hated the falcon then since heaps of features were from the osprey :p

What features? Apart from, really, the rotors and VTOL capability, nothing else.

Virtually every human flying vehicle in halo (pelican, hornet, falcon, longsword) has VTOL capability. VTOL is much better than usual propulsion and taking off; it is much better for combat zones, as you do not need an airfield to transport troops out. You can sustain a guerilla war, as all you need to do is take the tarp off of the landing pad+VTOl-capable craft, and you can rain hell.

The falcon functioned more of a Helicopter/Osprey, as you entered from the side only, had side gunners, and could lift off vertically, however it haz the Osprey speed.

The Pelican would be much more akin to the Osprey; it simply switches out the rotors, has a different body, and you've basically got the pelican.

So with your logic, we should hate the pelican?

Sniper scope is Eh...
And the sounds are all the same i swear.

They could not have destroyed ALL of the flood, its not like the Flood were wiped out entirely.

I really do hop the Flood are back, its just not a Halo game without them.

yea maybe some flood spores were on the underside of chiefs warthog when he jumped into the ship..that could work. haha

That sniper scope looks like TWO scopes merged together to me.

Is this in Halo 4? Or is it just concept art that didn't make it?



I need a larger version of this...

I guess I should intervene. That's the Firehawk from CNC4 (See http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/Firehawk_%28Tiberian_Twilight%29).

I used that ship and photoshopped the overview image for a fan fiction article. Quite surprised to see it again. :P

So you photoshoped WHICH image? I don't understand what you are saying here. It's from CNC4, but what did you do to it?

It looks VERY Halo to me, I want to make it :D

Click the link and scroll down to the only image in the gallery. You'll see what I did to the image. ;)

If it's from CNC4, I would imagine that means the image that has the UNSC insignia is photoshopped.

Ah thanks, theres something else on my create list. It really does fit into Halo :)

I don't know if I'm behind the curve here, but
