Well i don't have a load of points that you the cocky guy on these forums can shoot down, but i don't think it will be in reach. Simply because it is a useless weapon, and who can honestly say in Team slayer or any other game type for that matter got a kill with it? But seeing as brutes are in Reach now(which sucks)i guess we will see your weapon in it.

Would you like to explain why you think it won't be in Reach so I can shoot down all your points?[/quote][/quote] Well, first, basic Brute Infantry need to wield something, and second, isn't it just a matter of making it more "useful" then? [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] jonjon3000 To Hylebos, What unique role would the spiker play in the Sandbox?[/quote] It would be a close range weapon with a unique aiming mechanic. Because it isn't hitscan like the AR, the shots do more damage, but it's easy for opponents to dodge them, forcing the user to lead their shot at medium range for maximum effectiveness, which takes a bit of skill, especially if your opponents are quite far away from you. As a result, it operates bets between close and melee range, unlike the AR which operates best between medium and close range.[/quote] plus it has a slightly stronger melee due to the blades, this was easier to see in ODST
