[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MATCLAN [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Covenant Killer It would just be like a Spartan laser in game, so I don't see it.[/quote] Why not replace the Laser with the Gauss Rifle then? It could have less overall ammo and maybe more cooldown but balance this with vehicle/player penetration capabilities and a thermal (or X-ray?) scope. Heavy vehicles could not be destroyed in 1 shot but the thermal scope could allow you to see the driver (if you weren't already sure of his position) kill him with the penetrating round thus the vehicle is stopped. Note that by penetrating I don't mean a shot that will penetrate scenery or environments, but raather one like the Sniper round except that it will pierce vehicles as well as players.[/quote] Yeah could work. Also seems more human than the lazer, and the lazer is the only human weapon with no reload so would fit in amongst the others better.

Oh, so I see no-one read my post stating how the M99 is not like the Gauss cannon mounted on Warthogs and that it is in fact significantly smaller and less powerful.
-
maybe only featured in campain and be one shot one kill but a two round mag

-
how about the hard sound rifle, would be easy to make into the game, as they do not splatter enemies, just their organs
-
mabey it could be like a normal sniper, but less bullets per clip and the ability to snipe people through vehicles and certain scenery (like crates)
-
If it were included here's how to balance it: look at the cannon on a Gauss 'hog. See how there are only 4 revolving chambers for the amunition to be stored in when it doesn't have a limitless supply? There's the solution, it should either only have 4 shots or have 4 shots per clip with a long reload time. Maybe a cooldown phase in between shots would be good as well.
-
That would be awesome! However, I think it would be kind of over powered. In Contact Harvest, Johnson fires it and the Insurrectionist is completely destroyed. Still it might be good as a [i]rarer[/i] weapon or something only featured in campaign.
-
Sure, but please realize it wouldn't be an anti-everything super-weapon like a Gauss cannon. It would just be an alternative sniper rifle really, limited armor penetrating capabilities. Meaning you'd need to actually shoot the driver to stop a vehicle with it. [Edited on 12.15.2009 11:24 AM PST]
