I hated the double standard for this weapon on Heroic or higher. You shoot an elite, he turns around and says "Did you say something?" Elite so much as looks at you with this weapon, and it's instant death.
Bro I’m playing legendary campaign solo rn. And facts... it’s so bad when you use it, but elites and brutes are able to DESTROY you with it. Not to mention the can literally snipe with it from long ass distances
@@rigbone0260 only use precision weapons and plasma pistols, and remember to use needle rifles against brutes, as they 3 shot anything that’s not a chieftain
This weapon is the bane of my existence. Especially in Heroic/Legendary campaigns. The Ultra Elites and brutes that used this thing hurt me physically.
2 well aimed shots and a warthog will be flipped on its back, 3 well aimed/timed shots and you can make it splatter the other team if they are dumb enough to get close.
I mean, a Covenant counterpart to the grenade launcher that is essentially a mini-grenade launcher fired like a civil defense rifle with a revovler cap mag! And only Concussive Grenades!! So unique!!
I remember this weapon being really difficult to use in MP effectively, but once you mastered it, it was so satisfying. it just never really had enough ammo to be TRULY useful, and wasn't available very often either
Its an excellent weapon for supressive fire, pretty useful for objective based gamemodes, you can push back attacking teams by spaming it in a corner where you know they are coming
Do you guys prefer this or the brute shot? They perform similar roles and similarly (same mag size, same sorta blast radius and damage) I lean towards the brute shot myself frankly, since it has the melee blade and a flatter trajectory
I love this comment and it actually pisses me off that no one liked or replied to this comment. It REALLY pisses me off no one is willing to compare and contrast details. I love the two guns but i always prefer the concussion rifle even though it has less damage and no blade. It's really good against vehicles and hunters. It works well in damaging aircraft too. If you're skilled enough you can block any projectile like a sniper rifle round or an entire wraith shot if the bolt is perfectly placed. I think its kinetic impact is what makes me favor it over the brute shot. Plus lorewise it would be the better weapon since the bruteshot is a ballistic shell and the concussion rifle is a splashing blast of superheated plasma.
Now that i think about it, the hyrda, bruteshot and the concussion rifle, are the same gun but made by different manufacturers. Bruteshot has a melee capabilities, the hydra just has a auto lock system. The concussion rifle is just in-between these two weapons, acting as the elites version of a boomstick.
I think the biggest issue I had with this weapon when playing Reach for the first time was that I was treating this thing like a slightly inferior brute shot. In Halo 3 the brute shot was slightly weaker than the concussion rifle, but to compensate had a faster fire rate, did more damage to vehicles, and maybe did bonus melee damage due to the bayonet. The concussion rifle takes three shots to kill over the brute shot, yet none of the brute shots other advantages aside from disrupting the gravity of vehicles and enemy players. I think that t depends on what player you are, either you like a spam weapon that focuses on distortion to kill enemy players and sending vehicles spiraling out of control, or you prefer a spam weapon that acts fast and has more lethal abilities to players and vehicles alike
Man, I knew this thing was strong but I didn't realize how wide the 6-shot radius was. Is the 4m radius of splash damage exactly half of direct impact damage? Like, can you get a four shot kill with 2 direct hits and 2 near misses? Or is the damage high enough where it's 2 direct hits and 1 near miss?

Nice but annoying to face on legendary level, every enemy weapon instant kill .... Halo Reach the last hard challenging on campaign, Halo 4 the easiest legendary level to beat.
I always felt this weapon was a wayyyy shittier Brute Shot. Honestly hated most of the weapons when going from halo 3 to reach. This being one of them. Literally no reason for it to exist imo.

Elite so much as looks at you with this weapon, and it's instant death.
BRO SO TRUE. On high difficulty all it does is push enemies around, and does no damage

Luckily there is a campaign mod that fixes this... but you won’t earn any nameplates’n’stuff with it on.
@@FeinryelRavenclaw how do u play that mod ?
@@rigbone0260 only use precision weapons and plasma pistols, and remember to use needle rifles against brutes, as they 3 shot anything that’s not a chieftain
Everybody gangsta until the wraith ignores your knockback
**Note** Mongoose gets destroyed by Concussion Rifle explosion knockback, but Banshee and Falcon destroy you.
@Ana L'Seepage well of course
This weapon is the bane of my existence. Especially in Heroic/Legendary campaigns. The Ultra Elites and brutes that used this thing hurt me physically.
I concor, especially when you tried using it but it was bloody USELESS against everything!
We need more Spartans on Duty. Remembering REACH
Why in hell aren’t more people still making Reach videos?
Becouse???is old garbage?

No, 2 shots to a warthog going full speed will cause it to endlessly flip across the map then land on it's wheels
3:40 very nice detail, especially knowing that halo 5 doesn't have that.
@Rudy
It does but the effects are a lot less noticeable
@@ultra-nationalistodst8085 yeah and besides that in certain areas there is no effect at all
@@Rudy-xx8hm I'm not sure why, but these days game's look better but dev's focus less on detail.
@@ultra-nationalistodst8085 nani
This is my favorite weapon in the whole franchise, makes me sad to think we will probably never see it again in the series :(
The falcón was my fav vehicle from all halo games, pretty useful for machinimas too

So unique!!

Just a bruteshot redesigned so it would make sense for elites to use them too
Yup, sound effects are very similar too
I like it better because it’s a lot smaller, so players can’t tell you have it on your back.
@@Kurogumo Yeah but melee bonus is gone
Holy shit, this was uploaded today hahahaha
I thought I was looking at a 2010-2014 video
Great to see this, I loved the Halo 5 ones, keep doing!
the vehicles sound scary when they charge up the boost and splatter you
7:12 Did u notice that during the melee animation only the torso moved. The waist and below remained completely still lmao
1:55 blue spartan straight vibing to the concussion rifle
Man I love the Concussion Rifle
3:20 this is beyond science.
In the legendary campaign this was USELESS
Johnathan Smalley wasn’t for the elites
@@vlsparrowlv3396 Ya it definitely was made for you in the campaign
Judah Davis ?
Judah Davis I say “ wasn’t for the elites“ because they were so hard to kill if they had one
The brute shot in 3 was useless in legendary too
Its an excellent weapon for supressive fire, pretty useful for objective based gamemodes, you can push back attacking teams by spaming it in a corner where you know they are coming
damn that's a lotta damage but i never used this weapon lol, cool vid
Can you try to analysis other weapons from the halo games? By other meant 1-4
He's made some from halo 3
Many thanks for producing these analysis videos! I'll definitely have this knowledge stored in my mind for when Reach comes out on PC
np 👍
I loved that weapon when I played Halo Reach.
It bring me good memories.
This is random but the soundtrack for this game was beautiful.
My favorite iteration of this particular weapon!
Hearing the Halo music brings back sad nostalgia
All the funny bits in the video make it not just factual but entertaining too lmao
Bro I was in your game a week ago and it was great
That shell bending is absurd for Halo: Reach standards
Still not as bad as Halo 4 thougg
a minor detail being during the bullet magnetism test, i saw the bolt move ever so slightly to the left during the first few shots

i like how you played the track that you first hear when you see cortana, at the same time you have the "solution" to the jump problem being shown. :3
Does weak damage to vehicles? Have you met reach elites on legendary?

plasma launcher
Cool video
And nice music selection
what do u think about the concusion rifle. i my self did not like it, i just couldnt rely on it.
Man, I knew this thing was strong but I didn't realize how wide the 6-shot radius was. Is the 4m radius of splash damage exactly half of direct impact damage? Like, can you get a four shot kill with 2 direct hits and 2 near misses? Or is the damage high enough where it's 2 direct hits and 1 near miss?
Great videos. Keep up the good work.
Does it have better luck vs ghost, revenant, and wraith if you shoot underneath them, especially to one side or the other?
3:05 parkour
I honestly don't know what's worse on Legendary: A General with a Fuel Rod cannon.. or an Ultra with this...
General with Fuel Rod is easy, it's grunt fuel rod you need to worry about.
Noice vid
The front end of this gin looks similar to the face of a scarab
Is that TF2 Soldier?
The increased jump height is cool, but then again; jetpacks.
Theres videos already like this for all weapons of reach like 9 years ago, but good vid
What’s the ttk of the halo 3 magnum vs br. Or maybe the ttk of the magnum through the series
I only find this gun useful to flip vehicles and boost around
Hello
Ima be honest this is one of my favorite weapons
Nightfall makes me happy
SUBBED BRING HALO REACH BACK!!
Aozolai can u do vid on halo 5 assassinations?
Does anybody else think that it looks like an Elite's head? Specifically the Minors, with the helmets open from the sides
*CONCUSSION JUMPS*
yeah the concussion rifle doesn"t have a high damage against vehicles, but it's every useful for flipping vehicles off track
See if they gave a homing modification to it, it would become near unstoppable
What soundtrack is this?
I guess you could call it the “Elite” shot
the Reach Conker was actually pretty decent, but it felt really underwhelming in 4
Is it the same as the Halo 4 one?
It’s so satisfying to get kills in reach
Amazing. I wanted to like this gun, but in campaign it was a liability. Only you could make it look so useful.
Heyo
yo!

Nah not possible
But still again good study of this gun

F for REACH
:D
1st here to comment and to get here
Nobody cares
Yep nobody cares!
It's like a shitty version of the brute shot.
Nice but annoying to face on legendary level, every enemy weapon instant kill ....
Halo Reach the last hard challenging on campaign, Halo 4 the easiest legendary level to beat.
Concussion rifles always were trash to me
I always felt this weapon was a wayyyy shittier Brute Shot. Honestly hated most of the weapons when going from halo 3 to reach. This being one of them. Literally no reason for it to exist imo.
It was fairly effective against other infantry. It had incredible knockback and heavily distorted the screen and it even did decent damage.
A Turtle Bruteshot was better in every way though.
@@tylerellis9097 I'm aware I was just saying there are reasons to use it.
@@aturtle4943 I personally don't see any reason to replace the brute shot with this. Like tyler said, its better in every way.
First
For sounding powerful its not that strong
That armor looking weak for 2019
