I do have one issue with the greyhound, that being the magazine. Breaching shotguns use the traditional tube under the barrel, allowing one to load special rounds whenever they are needed. The design is also quite large for what the description says is a small utility shotgun. I think design wise, taking the original Halo shotgun and making it compact, removing or making the stock collapsible, would fit better. For gameplay, lower the mag size to three, and add multiple ammo types. Regular shotgun ammo in the smaller greyhound drastically lowers the range, akin to the Halo 3 shotgun, whereas specialized slugs up the range and add one hit headshot kill potential, turning it into a close to mid range precision weapon, high risk high reward.
I agree with you on Breeching shotguns, they need to be small and compact as they have one job and are then stowed, often on a bungie cord. I think the issue was having it evolve from a Breeching shotgun as this doesn’t make sense. Shotguns are unique in that they are designed with a purpose in mind or mutil-role. Its not like an AR or AK pattern rifle say that might evolve into an LMG, DMR, carbine etc… it has a specific job. A skeet shotgun won’t evolve into a combat shotgun as they would just design a combat shotgun. I think ammo commonality is the main factor. A carbine, rifle and LMG might use same cartridge/round so it makes sense to use a similar design but a shotgun uses speciality ammo so it can be a fresh slate. I think it would be to bulky to be a breeching shotgun but slimmed down it could be a slug shotgun but the write up needs tweaking.
@@Wernissage certainly, I’ve been into sci fi weapons design for years. I recently joined the discord so hopefully I’ll be able to be present for feedback more directly
@@Wernissage I'd like to add something too, the greyhound doesn't look all that compact compared to the bulldog. So, if you were ever to create something similar again, I'd recommend maybe making it a bullpup design. Since bullpups are more compact and can still retain a decent sized barrel so the range doesn't get affected.
See I like the Chimera and Greyhound. A slug shotgun makes me think of the KSG in Black Ops 2 and how awesome that was! I love the Speargun design but not something I would use. Edit: I like the idea of the Greyhound but the design is too bulky. As someone else said, the magazine should have been a variant of the bulldog mag as it looks more like a BR/AR currently not a Bulldog.
@@Wernissage I really liked the Greyhound. It looks like a battle rifle/shotgun hybrid. I would however have made it a bit smaller as it looks very bulky.

@@Wernissage This reminds me: If you have the urge to make another semiauto shotgun for Halo, take a look at the Fostech Origin. It's _so blocky_ (Something about the Greyhound... just feels a bit non-cohesive.
The Greyhound was definitely the weakest of the three, though there are a couple of alternate directions you could take it in to give it more focus: 1) As a *breaching shotgun,* it's far too bulky. Look to real-world under-barrel attachments for reference and inspiration: Both the M203 Grenade Launcher and M26 MASS (an actual breaching shotgun) have stocks that convert them to standalone weapons. They tend to be very small and skeletal -- I'm personally a HUGE fan of their designs, especially the M26 standalone. 2) As a *slug-firing shotgun,* it doesn't register as such. It looks more like a bulky SMG than anything else. There's a lot of room to work with here, though one interesting option (if an impractical one, admittedly) is that of a futuristic lever-action shotgun. "Taking an Elephant Gun to a Brute fight" is a fantastic idea, so why not go all the way with it? If not a lever-action, then for sure something that appears more rustic and old-timey.
The chimera and speargun are really cool. I like the idea of a lone spartan operative launching a remote det round over a long distance and lying in wait for a vehicle convoy to pass by. Boom. That sound design of it is really cool. Maybe a wee bit over the top, but in a really fun way. Underwater engagements is something I haven't thought about in halo, so the speargun is a really neat weapon.
You say you wanted the Greyhound to look like it was designed by the same company that manufactured the bulldog, but it looks more similar to the Chimera instead.
Making a whole other gun just to shoot slugs a bit of a strange and expensive decision considering all you would have to do is just load slug rounds into the bulldog. Maybe you could modify the barrel and choke but it would still over all be the same gun.
Zonies Coasters, I agree that it wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense to make a purpose build slug shotgun in universe, having a separate weapon would help differentiate the drastically different play styles of a traditional 8 gauge shotgun and a slug shotgun by giving them two separate weapons with easily distinguishable silhouettes.
Great job as always! I do think that the Greyhound would benefit from a grip mounted to the underside to kinda fill out its Silhouette a little better and bring it closer to the Bulldog aesthetically
For the MM52 Chimera you could also have a magazines that are air burst grenades. Because the XM25 fired these smart air burst grenades and that would allow you to shoot people say hiding behind a wall or ridge line. Just some food for thought.
The Greyhound looks unfinished, like the dust cover has been removed and the bolt is left entirely exposed. I can't imagine what this thing would look like when it cycles.
An idea I have, is a non-lethal weapon that's used against important targets that shouldn't be killed, such as a futuristic Taser or something similar.
The Greyhound sound, with the Halo 3 shotgun bit, should be pitched lower since it's a heavy slug. Give it beef. Like how the BR85HB in Halo 4 sounds like a laser weapon even though it's classified as a heavy barrel. That never made sense to me.
I seriously want there to be armor/weapon cores of the things you've drawn for Infinite. Maybe even a full on game where the art style is headed by you.
Why have the Greyhound hold only 5? the magazine looks like it could easily hold 10 or even more. I think a proper high capacity shotgun in Halo would be tons of fun.
Considering there is bunch of high capacity semi auto shotgun irl. Yeah i agree tho some UNSC Halo design seem outdated and less advanced than current military irl
@@aizseeker3622 I think the h2 shotgun had 12 rounds, and halo ce was a beast. But yeah, I was surprised when I found out that current US main battle tanks have a bigger main gun barrel size than the scorpion lmao
Wall buster: A back mounted equipment item that launches a cluster of powerfull bombs, killing anyone caught in it and tearing up any walls, floors, or ceilings in it's way. It's the perfect weapon for clearing a group of enemies clustered together, busting open a new flank route, or digging up a ditch for cover in a matter of seconds. Being how large it is, it's impossible to reload on the field, meaning it's a one use tool. Yes it wouldn't work in gameplay, but that doesnt mean it's not a cool idea
love the big block of a magwell on the chimera and the shade of green is perfect. i can't wrap my head around how the two spears of the speargun would attach to each other but that'd make for fun gameplay for sure. awesome sounds too, it'd be really neat to see a first-person view art for each one as well
I think it would be a great idea in the future when mod tools are properly provided to mcc for you and RejectedShotgun (or any other modders) to collab and turn these redesigns into usable weapons/armor in the games.
I hope this becomes a long running series. With all the anvil stuff happening in the mcc lore I’d love to see hybrids of human and alien tech. Like a flash bang combined with the flair from halo 3. And the spear gun makes me want to see the halo assault rifle mixed with a APS the gun used by the Russian frog men. Also the unsc never had a melee weapon. Maybe the machete from halos beta with a built in active camp unit? I’m done splurging ideas this video is great 👍 keep it up!!
One weapon that I would love to see back is the M247 gpmg. It fits a role that is missing in terms of gameplay and it is something that an actual army would totally need. Another weapon that might go really well with it is an automatic grenade launcher, something like an AGL30. The only thing that the UNSC is missing is a dedicated melee weapon for sartans, maybe a vibro weapon would fit the aesthetic of the UNSC.
Great ideas! I hope you would do more of new unsc weapons, maybe vehicles. I always wanted to use the ma5k from the books (ghost of onyx cover) imagining it like a carbine and a lighter assault rifle.
Speargun is definitely a fun sandbox tool, could even be used to pin an enemy to an area. Albeit, there should be a limit on how long the spear stays in, as most organic opponents would try to break the spearshaft in em, or break the steel cable. For vehicles? Open top vehicles like the warthog and ghosts, can have their users press a button to cut the cable on their vehicle to prevent collision with another, or allow em to move again if they get pinned to a small area. heavy armour? Might have the torque to break free, or be too heavy for the speargun to be effective. (Would be fun to launch a warthog at a wraith, or ghost at a scorpion. The ghost explodes, the tanks are relatively unharmed)
I feel like the chimera is basically just another version of the Railgun. Sure it doesn’t one hit Spartans but the rocket/sniper hybrid is exactly what 343 tried with the rail gun
My favourite, by far is the Chimera grenade sniper! All the weapons are great but the Chimera in it’s design conveys power 💥!!! And the sound design is so spot on. The combo of a beefed up 50 cal firing with the explosion of the grenade right after gives me chills and makes me wish it existed in real life so I could fire it down range
343 should make a Halo game centered around spaceship on spaceship combat, and maby an Alien style horror level where you as a regular human have to survive in a crippled warship while evading some scary monster that somehow got on board.
I have been loving all of you videos, instantly clicking on them when I see a new one. You are very talented in both what you do and even the structure of your videos, great to watch!
Edit: I know I’m two years late 😅 I really like the Speargun’s design and proposed gameplay implementation! I think it’d be cool to see a “modernized” L-8 version, something that could be a logical evolution of it, replacing the more archaic muzzle-loading system of loading the harpoons, and instead replacing it with something akin to the SPKR, where you just basically change out a whole dual set of barrels. That way, you could also make some continuity with the modernized Halo manufacturers :)
@@Wernissage Atriox would be pleased by your tactical innovations - Brutes wished they had the XM52 Chimera, 😆. 2nd-Favorite of these OC-firearms: L-7 Speargun being like a Utility/Versatility-based vsriant of the Lethality Power-based Banished Brute-Skewer - Very Awesome. I like every aspect of the Greyhound except for the gun-build + silhouette - *_Not exactly_* bad nor impractical, but less appealing, 🤔... ... ...Mmaybe it's the barrel that's throwing me off - looking too _roundly-mismatched(?)_ with the rest of *the cool-colored blocky design?* Also/Or the lighter grey-blue sight-railing alongside said-barrel? 🤷♂️😅 *_Also-also,_* I still consider guns like the 'Bulldog' and 'M57 Rocket-Launcher' as *_alternate-weapons* rather than *replacements* of classics. *Just a thought for FAR-FUTURE UA-cam Content:* You consider doing OC commission-requests of fellow fan-concept of Halo-Guns _(and other designs)?_ 😃
Functionally, I love the spear gun most. So much chaotic mayhem I could cause with that thing XD. And I actually like the grenade launcher too. I feel like, due to how big and bulky it looks, it'd be better suited to being a grenade turret that's belt fed. Because otherwise it looks too heavy for anything other than a spartan or brute to use effectively with just two hands. However, I actually like how bulky it is because it makes it look intimidating and scary, hahaha. Man, I LOVE your videos and brainstorming. I hope you never run out of ideas.
The Greyhound just seems redundant. Why would you need a shotgun specifically to fire slugs? You can load a slug round into literally any shotgun, more or less, providing its got the pressure handling. The standard Misrah offering would handle it just fine. The Greyhoudn would probably work better as some kind of unholy auto-shotty, like the AA-12.
Haven't watched the video yet, only up to where you say "grenade sniper". This makes me wonder, remember from the campaign gameplay demo last year how there was that "upgrades" button on the map menu? Maybe we can have different ammo variants or weapon mods that allow for that ammo to be used.
Why hasn't 343 asked you for a job yet? In fact, let me rephrase that: would you take a job at 343? P.S: The Speargun might be my favorite of the UNSC arsenal you have created. Good job man, as always! 👍🏻👌🏻
Feels like another Skewer copy. If it was a harpoon and sticks to the things would be cooler like a reverse grapple hook where the momentum of whatever your shoot can carry you for example.
What I really want from halo infinite is the new/old armours. Like the hrunting/yggdrasil mk 1 but make it balanced in game, really strong but very slow and weak from behind (kinda like hunters) and the mark 4 that red team used. Give them pros and cons then put them in the multiplayer sandbox. It'd be awesome
7:36 So, i am not sure if i understand this, because the bulldog itself is supposedly chambered in 12 gauge, making it fire faster but doing lower damage as opposed to its 8 gauge cousins
I feel like the Chimera would end up having some roll crossover with the Railgun, not a huge problem if the Railgun isn't in the game, a bit of a bigger one if it is.
Video suggestions: Reskin Covenant weapons to look like UNSC tech, and vice versa ...or... Design a few weapons with UNSC and Covenant design styles blended together.
@@alexanderthegreat6682. Not to mention there is a perfectly good reason for it: Have it to where the Swords of Sanghelios and Human manufacturers have teamed up for a collaborative effort to offer more weapons for soldiers.
@@dragonbornexpress5650 exactly, maybe a UNSC style plasma weapon, or a flame or explosive based covenant style weapon, with influences from both factions
@@alexanderthegreat6682. It's a gold mine of imagination. Have it to where there's like a UNSC version of the Plasma Sword, but the design is tweaked a bit so that average soldiers and ODST units can wield it with ease without cutting their hands on the plasma. Have it to where there's a Covenant grenade launcher that fires napalm grenades that ignite the ground upon impact or something. In fact, this should be the next idea on this guy's channel: Creating weapons with Covenant and UNSC influences combined.
Great work as usual! I’d love to see a Covenant video next. Even if the Covenant isn’t around anymore, it would be cool to see what *could* have been. Maybe some sort of Needler weapon, but as a shotgun?
I absolutely adore these ideas. In terms of sandbox potential, I really love the Chimera and most certainly the Speargun. I think they'd be mechanically interesting and unique within the sandbox, which is what Infinite in general seems to be doing with its weapon sandbox. I'd love to see these, or at least something similar, to an official capacity in-game. 343 please?
UM THE SPEARGUN IS THE COOLEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN. I LOVE THIS. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. Appropriate that you came up with an underwater themed weapon on September, the same month of International Talk Like a Pirate Day. I could imagine it demolishing grunts, bolting a hunter to a li'l guy and absolutely destroying its methane pack. The Chimera is pretty cool too. If I saw that in gameplay, I would know how it functioned just by its silhouette, its visual communication is THAT good. I was a bit unsure at first, my thought process was "Combination of a rocket launcher and sniper rifle? Oh, the Spartan laser", but then I put thought into it, all of the existing grenade launchers are kinda mid-ranged, so a longer range one would be a good introduction to the sandbox. I also really love the "THOOMP" of its sound. The only one I don't really love is the Greyhound. Its silhouette isn't self-explanatory, it doesn't look very much like a sci-fi weapon, and I had some trouble understanding its role in gameplay. That said, I just adore your reticle art so much, it's so satisfying. You put so much effort into your videos and they all look so beautiful.
chimera: a bit bulky, but since it's based off of the XM25 i guess it's a slide. the scope is kinda too low, i know the XM25 has the same silhouette, but it's because the scope has the lens on the top. a bit too linear for my tastes but that's just me, overall a good design greyhound: honestly looks like what is an equivalent to an AK with no dust cover, the barrel with the somewhat large heat shield looks bulky, same goes for the stock, the thingy under the pistol grip, all too bulky for a "small utility shotgun". but you did get the magazine size right though (it may be able to hold around 6-7 but still) speargun: honestly kinda weird for me for a weapon in the far future, even if it's a special forces weapon. one thing that does bug me out more is how 2 spears are in the different mechanism, like how one is in a tube and the other is in the handguard
Isnt a slug shot more powerful than buckshot? I would think that the greyhound has slightly more range and damage but a crap ton of recoil,kick,and cool down.
The Speargun is definitely my favorite. It feels like a finalized version of the scrapped one from Combat Evolved, and its use definately would make for some fun moments in the campaign, but I fear may unfortuneately cause problems in multiplayer so it might wind up stuck as a campaign exclusive like the Target Designator in Reach.
I have my own idea for a shotgun, though it's a Banished weapon. Lore: After seeing footage of Marines armed with the standard UNSC combat shotgun hold off the Flood until ammo supply ran out, The Sangheli loyal to the Banished sought to design a weapon perfectly designed to handle the many hordes commanded by the parasite, if it were to ever return. Design: The weapon has a short, smoothbore barrel encased in a tube that acts as a heat shield. The top of the weapon follows this design and has a built-in panoramic sight with dots indicating where the pellets will go. The stock and lower are similar to the Carbine, though the stock slightly shorter, with a more skeletal design and the trigger guard is designed to be used with heavy duty gloves. The magazine is a tube that attaches to side of the weapon directly above the trigger and holds 5 rounds with a swift reload. Mechanics: this shotgun is made purely to combat the Flood and thus was designed with sheer destruction in mind, meaning the projectiles will fall to the floor and continue burning for a few seconds after hitting an enemy. The projectile actually starts off as a downgraded fuel rod that then splits into 5 smaller rods after 10 meters. The damage of this fuel rod is just barely enough to kill a spartan, though the damage falls off fast. The split rods will always ricochet off of surfaces and will travel for about 75 meters before dissipating. Whaddya think? I struggle quite a lot with creating new weapons, especially when I need to specify the rough design of them. I hope it's a decent concept and has some potential as a banished variant of the Bulldog.
I would love to see a lever action in the halo aesthetic. Functionally, it would be a stepping stone between the dmr and sniper. Maybe it could have some kind of alternate shotgun mode
For the Greyhound, I like the design but not the sounds. It sounds way too beefy for what it is. I remember BO2 made the KSG12 (the slug shotgun) have a slightly quieter firing sound than the other shotguns. It doesn't sound as powerful but it still has an impact. Maybe replacing the H3 shotgun sound and adding say, a high cal pistol sound?
Huge missed opportunity for the Chimera is giving it an airburst feature like the real life xm25. Pressing the zoom button for the sniper set the distance and it becomes the. Possible to explode grenades over cover
You should do a video on UNSC Marine armor
I can get behind that.
Seconded
Green eyepatches for all

Love the Speargun, personally I think a Hydraulic *fwoosh* would add to it alot more, also glad to help out with the Discord Weenie ✌👍
I really like the XM52 Chimera, it looks awesome.
I love how you create sounds for these weapons. That’s awesome detail man. Great job
Thanks man!
@@Wernissage Do you use Pro Tools for the sounds?
@@fgdubz4309 I used Logic Pro X before, but for this video I tried making them in Sony Vegas Pro
It would be so cool to see these weapons in a Halo mod
We don't need to expand the arsenal of the unsc but I like the spirit.
I think it would be a great idea in the future when mod tools are properly provided to mcc for you and RejectedShotgun (or any other modders) to collab and turn these redesigns into usable weapons/armor in the games.
I hope this becomes a long running series. With all the anvil stuff happening in the mcc lore I’d love to see hybrids of human and alien tech. Like a flash bang combined with the flair from halo 3. And the spear gun makes me want to see the halo assault rifle mixed with a APS the gun used by the Russian frog men. Also the unsc never had a melee weapon. Maybe the machete from halos beta with a built in active camp unit? I’m done splurging ideas this video is great 👍 keep it up!!
One weapon that I would love to see back is the M247 gpmg. It fits a role that is missing in terms of gameplay and it is something that an actual army would totally need. Another weapon that might go really well with it is an automatic grenade launcher, something like an AGL30. The only thing that the UNSC is missing is a dedicated melee weapon for sartans, maybe a vibro weapon would fit the aesthetic of the UNSC.
Greyhound reticle is very similar to the SMG from ODST
bro, i love how you actually made the sounds for the guns too!
Great ideas! I hope you would do more of new unsc weapons, maybe vehicles. I always wanted to use the ma5k from the books (ghost of onyx cover) imagining it like a carbine and a lighter assault rifle.
The first one looks a lot like the GM6 Lynx .50 cal bullpup, by coincidence.
Speargun is definitely a fun sandbox tool, could even be used to pin an enemy to an area. Albeit, there should be a limit on how long the spear stays in, as most organic opponents would try to break the spearshaft in em, or break the steel cable. For vehicles? Open top vehicles like the warthog and ghosts, can have their users press a button to cut the cable on their vehicle to prevent collision with another, or allow em to move again if they get pinned to a small area. heavy armour? Might have the torque to break free, or be too heavy for the speargun to be effective. (Would be fun to launch a warthog at a wraith, or ghost at a scorpion. The ghost explodes, the tanks are relatively unharmed)
I feel like the chimera is basically just another version of the Railgun. Sure it doesn’t one hit Spartans but the rocket/sniper hybrid is exactly what 343 tried with the rail gun
My favourite, by far is the Chimera grenade sniper! All the weapons are great but the Chimera in it’s design conveys power 💥!!!
And the sound design is so spot on. The combo of a beefed up 50 cal firing with the explosion of the grenade right after gives me chills and makes me wish it existed in real life so I could fire it down range
What an epic crossover
343 should make a Halo game centered around spaceship on spaceship combat, and maby an Alien style horror level where you as a regular human have to survive in a crippled warship while evading some scary monster that somehow got on board.
I have been loving all of you videos, instantly clicking on them when I see a new one. You are very talented in both what you do and even the structure of your videos, great to watch!
Thank you!
Your original versions of the designs look like the CE versions which I think is cool
God all the sounds are amazing
This is so cool, great work!
pull aircraft out of the sky with that speargun, make a banshee nose dive
I’m glad I’m nowhere near the only one to use the “Just Cause” joke! 🤣
Nice designs too!
Ooooo I wanna see you amazing creativity of these unique ideas! Try out the covies next!
Edit: I know I’m two years late 😅
I really like the Speargun’s design and proposed gameplay implementation! I think it’d be cool to see a “modernized” L-8 version, something that could be a logical evolution of it, replacing the more archaic muzzle-loading system of loading the harpoons, and instead replacing it with something akin to the SPKR, where you just basically change out a whole dual set of barrels. That way, you could also make some continuity with the modernized Halo manufacturers :)
These are pretty good you should make a part 2 video on new unsc weapons
I wanna see you do a Brute Plasma Axe and Tomahawk, Sangheili Plasma Spear, and maybe a very old Covenant energy bow and arrow weapon.
This is bloody awesome mate. Keep up the amazing work.
Chimera looks awesome ngl
Your production value of your videos are insane. It’s crazy you only have 20k subs I love you content - keep up the good work! :)
Lovely weapon and sound designs man 🤙🏽
Thanks man!
@@Wernissage Atriox would be pleased by your tactical innovations - Brutes wished they had the XM52 Chimera, 😆.
2nd-Favorite of these OC-firearms: L-7 Speargun being like a Utility/Versatility-based vsriant of the Lethality Power-based Banished Brute-Skewer - Very Awesome.
I like every aspect of the Greyhound except for the gun-build + silhouette - *_Not exactly_* bad nor impractical, but less appealing, 🤔...
...
...Mmaybe it's the barrel that's throwing me off - looking too _roundly-mismatched(?)_ with the rest of *the cool-colored blocky design?*
Also/Or the lighter grey-blue sight-railing alongside said-barrel? 🤷♂️😅 *_Also-also,_* I still consider guns like the 'Bulldog' and 'M57 Rocket-Launcher' as *_alternate-weapons* rather than *replacements* of classics.
*Just a thought for FAR-FUTURE UA-cam Content:*
You consider doing OC commission-requests of fellow fan-concept of Halo-Guns _(and other designs)?_ 😃
343 should hire you as design chief
Functionally, I love the spear gun most. So much chaotic mayhem I could cause with that thing XD.
And I actually like the grenade launcher too. I feel like, due to how big and bulky it looks, it'd be better suited to being a grenade turret that's belt fed. Because otherwise it looks too heavy for anything other than a spartan or brute to use effectively with just two hands. However, I actually like how bulky it is because it makes it look intimidating and scary, hahaha.
Man, I LOVE your videos and brainstorming. I hope you never run out of ideas.
The Greyhound just seems redundant. Why would you need a shotgun specifically to fire slugs? You can load a slug round into literally any shotgun, more or less, providing its got the pressure handling.
The standard Misrah offering would handle it just fine.
The Greyhoudn would probably work better as some kind of unholy auto-shotty, like the AA-12.
Haven't watched the video yet, only up to where you say "grenade sniper". This makes me wonder, remember from the campaign gameplay demo last year how there was that "upgrades" button on the map menu? Maybe we can have different ammo variants or weapon mods that allow for that ammo to be used.
Whens part 2?!?! Love it
Out of all of these, the speargun looks the most unique and interesting
The Mangler is essentially a pocket Greyhound. Fires slugs, 3 hit kill and impressive melee damage too!
I think the skewer should have an alt fire where it can stick things together like the just cause spear gun
For whatever reason I never got this recommended to me even through I am subbed with notifications. Anyways, great work man!
OMG you’re one of my favourite halo content creators, keep up the good work and thank you for your presence on you tube! 👍
Would love to see some UNSC attempts to reverse engineer or innovate on Covenant weaponry.
They exist in canon. Just gotta put em into the game.
YOUR AMAZING!!
this is great, I absolutely love your content.
Can't Wait For More 💯
Don't worry fellas we do have 10 years of halo infinite, so it could be possible that 343 could add one of these bad boys in the game.
Why hasn't 343 asked you for a job yet? In fact, let me rephrase that: would you take a job at 343?
P.S: The Speargun might be my favorite of the UNSC arsenal you have created. Good job man, as always! 👍🏻👌🏻
Feels like another Skewer copy.
If it was a harpoon and sticks to the things would be cooler like a reverse grapple hook where the momentum of whatever your shoot can carry you for example.
@@BattleBrotherCasten that's kind of what it is though, except you're making two things come together.
What I really want from halo infinite is the new/old armours. Like the hrunting/yggdrasil mk 1 but make it balanced in game, really strong but very slow and weak from behind (kinda like hunters) and the mark 4 that red team used. Give them pros and cons then put them in the multiplayer sandbox. It'd be awesome
7:36
So, i am not sure if i understand this, because the bulldog itself is supposedly chambered in 12 gauge, making it fire faster but doing lower damage as opposed to its 8 gauge cousins
I feel like the Chimera would end up having some roll crossover with the Railgun, not a huge problem if the Railgun isn't in the game, a bit of a bigger one if it is.
I see it as being similar to the Brute Shot with higher damage and velocity, with with a much slower rate of fire.
Video suggestions: Reskin Covenant weapons to look like UNSC tech, and vice versa ...or... Design a few weapons with UNSC and Covenant design styles blended together.
Like the Helioskrill or Accord armors, but weapons
@@alexanderthegreat6682. Not to mention there is a perfectly good reason for it: Have it to where the Swords of Sanghelios and Human manufacturers have teamed up for a collaborative effort to offer more weapons for soldiers.
@@dragonbornexpress5650 exactly, maybe a UNSC style plasma weapon, or a flame or explosive based covenant style weapon, with influences from both factions
@@alexanderthegreat6682. It's a gold mine of imagination. Have it to where there's like a UNSC version of the Plasma Sword, but the design is tweaked a bit so that average soldiers and ODST units can wield it with ease without cutting their hands on the plasma. Have it to where there's a Covenant grenade launcher that fires napalm grenades that ignite the ground upon impact or something. In fact, this should be the next idea on this guy's channel: Creating weapons with Covenant and UNSC influences combined.
@@dragonbornexpress5650 maybe a more sword-like version, rather that an arm extending blade.
Great work as usual! I’d love to see a Covenant video next. Even if the Covenant isn’t around anymore, it would be cool to see what *could* have been. Maybe some sort of Needler weapon, but as a shotgun?
I absolutely adore these ideas. In terms of sandbox potential, I really love the Chimera and most certainly the Speargun. I think they'd be mechanically interesting and unique within the sandbox, which is what Infinite in general seems to be doing with its weapon sandbox.
I'd love to see these, or at least something similar, to an official capacity in-game. 343 please?
Extra points for mentioning the wet navy
UM THE SPEARGUN IS THE COOLEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN. I LOVE THIS. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. Appropriate that you came up with an underwater themed weapon on September, the same month of International Talk Like a Pirate Day. I could imagine it demolishing grunts, bolting a hunter to a li'l guy and absolutely destroying its methane pack.
The Chimera is pretty cool too. If I saw that in gameplay, I would know how it functioned just by its silhouette, its visual communication is THAT good. I was a bit unsure at first, my thought process was "Combination of a rocket launcher and sniper rifle? Oh, the Spartan laser", but then I put thought into it, all of the existing grenade launchers are kinda mid-ranged, so a longer range one would be a good introduction to the sandbox. I also really love the "THOOMP" of its sound.
The only one I don't really love is the Greyhound. Its silhouette isn't self-explanatory, it doesn't look very much like a sci-fi weapon, and I had some trouble understanding its role in gameplay.
That said, I just adore your reticle art so much, it's so satisfying. You put so much effort into your videos and they all look so beautiful.
Thank you! Really appreciate the feedback🔥
“When we think of the power weapons of the UNSC, what usually comes to mind is the sniper rifle and rocket launcher.”
* sad Spartan lazer noises *
I'm still amazed 343 haven't hired you yet!
Man I want these weapons now.
chimera: a bit bulky, but since it's based off of the XM25 i guess it's a slide. the scope is kinda too low, i know the XM25 has the same silhouette, but it's because the scope has the lens on the top. a bit too linear for my tastes but that's just me, overall a good design
greyhound: honestly looks like what is an equivalent to an AK with no dust cover, the barrel with the somewhat large heat shield looks bulky, same goes for the stock, the thingy under the pistol grip, all too bulky for a "small utility shotgun". but you did get the magazine size right though (it may be able to hold around 6-7 but still)
speargun: honestly kinda weird for me for a weapon in the far future, even if it's a special forces weapon.
one thing that does bug me out more is how 2 spears are in the different mechanism, like how one is in a tube and the other is in the handguard
Isnt a slug shot more powerful than buckshot? I would think that the greyhound has slightly more range and damage but a crap ton of recoil,kick,and cool down.
The Speargun is definitely my favorite. It feels like a finalized version of the scrapped one from Combat Evolved, and its use definately would make for some fun moments in the campaign, but I fear may unfortuneately cause problems in multiplayer so it might wind up stuck as a campaign exclusive like the Target Designator in Reach.
I have my own idea for a shotgun, though it's a Banished weapon.
Lore: After seeing footage of Marines armed with the standard UNSC combat shotgun hold off the Flood until ammo supply ran out, The Sangheli loyal to the Banished sought to design a weapon perfectly designed to handle the many hordes commanded by the parasite, if it were to ever return.
Design: The weapon has a short, smoothbore barrel encased in a tube that acts as a heat shield. The top of the weapon follows this design and has a built-in panoramic sight with dots indicating where the pellets will go. The stock and lower are similar to the Carbine, though the stock slightly shorter, with a more skeletal design and the trigger guard is designed to be used with heavy duty gloves. The magazine is a tube that attaches to side of the weapon directly above the trigger and holds 5 rounds with a swift reload.
Mechanics: this shotgun is made purely to combat the Flood and thus was designed with sheer destruction in mind, meaning the projectiles will fall to the floor and continue burning for a few seconds after hitting an enemy. The projectile actually starts off as a downgraded fuel rod that then splits into 5 smaller rods after 10 meters. The damage of this fuel rod is just barely enough to kill a spartan, though the damage falls off fast. The split rods will always ricochet off of surfaces and will travel for about 75 meters before dissipating.
Whaddya think? I struggle quite a lot with creating new weapons, especially when I need to specify the rough design of them. I hope it's a decent concept and has some potential as a banished variant of the Bulldog.
2:54 it's funny how in payday 2, this grenade launcher is called the arbiter
I would love to see a lever action in the halo aesthetic. Functionally, it would be a stepping stone between the dmr and sniper. Maybe it could have some kind of alternate shotgun mode
Daaaaaaamn, the Chimera looks like fun =D
I feel that the greyhounds sound is overpowered by the classic shotgun sound, can barely hear any of the other sounds in it
For the Greyhound, I like the design but not the sounds. It sounds way too beefy for what it is. I remember BO2 made the KSG12 (the slug shotgun) have a slightly quieter firing sound than the other shotguns. It doesn't sound as powerful but it still has an impact. Maybe replacing the H3 shotgun sound and adding say, a high cal pistol sound?
Wonderful as always wern
The chimaera appears to be a cross between the hydra and railgun
So beautiful to see a speargun. Would have preferred it to be based off of the cut speargun from prerelease halo CE
Huge missed opportunity for the Chimera is giving it an airburst feature like the real life xm25. Pressing the zoom button for the sniper set the distance and it becomes the. Possible to explode grenades over cover
