Binary Rifle
While shot when unscoped it has a shotgun like projection
(aka, noscope = complete out of this world luck)

Incineration Cannon best reloading animation confirmed.
Binary Rifle = Intervention.
Now all we need is a throwing knife.

I feel like more than anything, people will just start quickscoping more in general because of this. Very common in Call of Duty games. With the Binary Rifle in particular, I suspect this could become the norm even at range. Get close enough, quickscope, kill/miss. Bypasses the laser sights entirely.
The Incineration Cannon and Binary Rifle in a campaign setting kind of terrify me at first glance. One hit kill enemy weapons and explosives have often been an instant funkiller in the past, as seen with Legendary Jackals and spammy Fuel Rod Grunts/Chieftains. Hopefully they're used well.

I also notice that every weapon video has medals, even though the floor experience never does.

So it's basically a shotgun that becomes a "Battlefield" shotgun with a slug when you "scope in."
Yeah, I read it as being description of War Games - competitive multiplayer, as opposed to cooperative.
BTW. The Binary Rifle wreaks vehicles. I blew up a Warthog with it, thinking I had a Light Rifle. One shot. Not sure if it was damaged or not, but my pants certainly were after I pulled the trigger.
1 v 1 binary rifles only 360 no scope montage
lol'd,
so the binary rifle is anti vehicle. Lets hope the sniper isn't again.

Do each of the little Incineration Cannon "explosion pootbabies" that come out of the main blast also work as one-hit kills?

"OHK no matter where, huge tradeoff, you almost cannot use it from the hip, it has a shotgun style spread, you give up situational awareness"
2 shots in Magazine
6 shots total
When someone is zoomed in, it has a laser sight so you can see if someone is scoping you

Beating a dead horse- but it's agonizing waiting for a reveal of the most vanilla playlist that will come at the last minute if it comes at all. These big ass maps are killing my hopes.

Way to be optimistic...I for one will be welcoming the 1-50 rank system back. Maybe not visual to everyone in lobby but in our playercard, I'm ok with this. As long as were matched accordingly.
Let me dream
It sounds like it; from the videos and comments I think if you get tagged by one, you disintegrate.
It would be great if you still had some control over yourself while disintegrating. So if you get tagged on the foot and start melting upward, you could still aim and fire off a last minute shot or toss a grenade.

No, it was in a CTF game.
I knew about this a couple of days ago, but I didn't have the heart to tell you.
Our dream is dead.

I kinda don't like how similar the Binary Rifle looks to the Light Rifle. I bet a lot of people are going to confuse the two.
I believe he meant that it wasn't going to kill you if you ran into one; it's more designed to slow you down, help kill you with someone near by or divert you to another path.

Day 1 patch that tells you what weapon you're holding at all times

Yeah I get it, just doesn't sound fun.
I just hope it's utility is so limited in multiplayer that it's hardly ever selected.
I'd imagine they have it planned or thought about, but my thought is that they won't be "revealing" it. It'll either be in a list when/if they decide to give us all the playlist info before launch, or when your fire the game up it'll be waiting there.
Irritant also means to also be a distraction.
How does Drogo's big peepee taste, Seth?
True, but I think we'll get word if ranks are, or aren't, in on that day considering it is a semi multiplayer panel.

i like how the reload seems almost in sync with when the flamey boom balls explode.

Steitzer yells " YOU ARE HOLDING THE BINAAARRRY RIIIIFLE!" every 10 seconds. Ship it.
Some of the ideas they have for the Promethean weapons seem like they could be good additions.
However, definitely not a fan of randomizing no-scopes. So instead of someone getting a noscope because they had good aim, we'll get no scopes randomly. I don't see how that solves the issue.

It's hard to judge off terrible off screen pictures but it seems Ragnarok is more of a spit shine remake like Heretic instead of a visual overhaul on the level of Reflection or Avalanche.
But then I also just remembered that this is the first remake of a 360-era Halo map. The jump in visuals will probably be smaller just due to that.
edit: remake of a 360-era map AND a wide open map at that, which will cap the visual fidelity the map can reach.

they are talking about Hit Points of the vehicles
i want to know all the numbers!!
if your not listening to this podcast your missing out,
I hope someone is working on a point-for-point recap
edit:
I think the Binary needing to be scoped in is a good way to balance it
I mean its a OHK anywhere on the body

Im all for reducing randomness, but this is a non issue. If you have a problem with this then maybe we should ban random cross map sticks.
I pretty much rely on Mr OddOne for this info. Every time.

Just with the Binary Rifle. I'm guessing cause of it's one shot kills scoped in.
There is 2 other snipers you could use.

That's not programed randomness, it's just players getting super lucky every once in a great while. Even if some scrub picks up the UNSC Sniper now, he could pull the trigger and get a cross map double no scope. Was his no scope random? Yes, but not because it was programed to be random, but just because he got incredibly lucky. It's just something that happens, you can't really eliminate that.

Nope, after you turn 21, birthdays just mean you're getting older.

I have the very faintest inkling that there is a chasm in our musical tastes wide enough to swallow oceans without ever filling .
that shit is my jam.
i'll take all the wubs and unce unce unces.
edit: seriously though. when does the OST come out again? I NEED this soundtrack in my veins. The remix album is going to be objectively fantastic.
