Awesome, informative, entertaining. Everything I'd hope the update would be. As for the mystery weapon my guess is a covenant mortar system.
-
Forgive me for sounding like a n00b, but what are "hit scans?" Plus, how do you tell which weapon has "hit scans" and which don't? Thanks.
-
And the mystery gun is likely to be the needle rifle: the first part is the spinning disk that shoots the needle starting to spin(look at renders to see disk on needle rifle) and the explosions are the bl4mite needles exploding.
-
that's what i think as well
-
Darnit, was hoping for some clarity on the Noble callsigns... Guess it's too early to ask for that anyway. That's okay, now I'm more determined than ever. YOUR SECRETS SHALL BE MINE, OR IT IS DEATH BY BUNGIE FOR ALL OF YOU! *ahem* Carry on, gentlemen.

Sound and the Fury I'm reading that book
-
The sound of the mystery gun made me a little wet in the pants.
-
The mystery gun charges four shots, the first one going in as soon as you pull the trigger. once the four shots are "loaded", you hear the beep say they are ready to fire. When you fire this weapon, the shells/plasma archs into the air, and while in the air is then armed, at which time hits its target and explodes. It is most likely a bigger version of the fuel rod cannon. I fyou remember, when you fire the Fuel Rod, it shoots a small projectile that for a short period is not deadly at all, and in fact bounces off of anything it hits, then less then a second later is "armed" to explode on contact. This is similar to that, only, my guess, is used for an attack at long range, a sort of barrage, if you will. my only confusion is the fact that you hear the sound of the projectiles as if you were right next to them the entire time, even after being fired. it might be because they play the sound clip in its native state, without the illusion of "perspective", so you hear every part of the sound effect before its put into the game world. i am confident in my prediction. something else that it slightly reminds me of, is the weapons used the variant of the wraith tank, that basically rapid fired Fuel Rods, using them as Flak. This could be a small, personal version of such a thing. so going off of that theory, i predict, in multiplayer games, this will essentially replace the Missile Pod (or the Covenant version of it) for anti air/ground vehicles, but i could be wrong in that belief.
-
By far the best update I have ever read. I wanna say that the weapons sound unbelievable, the echo and reality of the sound is just amazing. Good work sound team. Is the last weapon perhaps a lock on missile like a Javelin?
-
Nice post, thanks for all the sounds!
-
Damn that skirmisher looks super badass, I'm scarred. [Edited on 02.02.2010 10:35 PM PST]

If the sound design is anywhere near as good as BF:BC2, it's going to be amazing. From the sound of it, it will be.
-
The new weapon sounds like a plasma grenade launcher.
-
That mystery gun is reserved for Oonsk!
-
Sniper rifle sounds BEAST. mystery gun sound; i came. thrice.
-
I love the new Assualt Rifle sound. Both the DMR and Frag Grenade sound great too!
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Feral Jackal That new gun sounds craaazy.[/quote] agreed!
-
ZOMG LEEKS! I totally love everything that was thrown at our faces in this Weekly Update. I also got what I wished for: the sounds of the weapons. And for some reason, I suppose that [i]mysterious-bad-ass-weapon[/i] has the word 'nuke' in it somewhere.

Cool. =]
