I like how 00 uses Gaming terms, like "fall damage" in his videos. It really shows that even though he has an incredible knowledge of material science, he's still gamer just like most if not all of us.
Notes of Kor' lonso, former covenant historian: An ancient weapon, one that only those that have proven themselves "worthy" were allowed to use (the Jiralhanae notwithstanding). the weapon was starting to show its age by the time it was seen by you humans, still it had its uses. it maybe a tad unwieldy to use but, any sangheili warrior holding one was sure to turn the heads of his peers.
Bruh c'mon. They're not that bad. The predictable and slow projectile combined with the increased distance you can be from them to make them stop firing (as in entering melee range) make it pretty easy. Now, the insane shade turrets, elite snipers, and drones can be pretty bad if you get in a tight spot.
@@kodokunagemu. True, but usually when I’m playing on legendary, they always get their shots on point, even when I’m moving or running. I was using a jet pack and none of their shots missed. To be fair, I had a skull on, but it was something to do with “major upgrades to all enemies” or something. Maybe that had something to do with the concussion rifle. Or maybe I’m just generally bad at the game. It’s my first time playing reach since 4 years.

I've been subscribed for quite a while. A few months ago I found that I had been unsubscribed, so I re-subbed and turned notifications on. Today I found that notifications for your videos had been turned off. I turned them back on. UA-cam has been doing this to a lot of people lately.
I like to imagine the Stalker rifle uses the same principles as the concussion rifle just modified so instead of exploding it would pierce. It would also feeds from a magazine.
Some of my favorite Fails of the Weak clips were people dying because a crate or something happened to get between them and a Concussion Rifle-wielding Sangheili. Edit: Phrasing.
Has 343 given this weapon a buff? It is a very effective weapon to kill players in MCC Reach while it was pretty useless as anything other than a get around tool in classic Reach. If yes, I think it was a good change, it's fun to completely obliveriate opponents with it!
I used to use it wrong and die. Then I started using it like a harassing weapon for flushing and it was good for that. The problem is that if you try and rush a position using it you can’t actually kill them before they get you. You can do that more with the grenade launcher in reach, or the brute shot in 2. Brute shot was great for pinging the floor in front of your target, and then delivering a death blow with melee.
2:02 Is that the H4 Concussion Rifle? I know 343 has worked on Reach, it would just be a little odd for them to do something like this although they have made a lot of extensive pieces of media to expand the universe, including by going backwards in time. On second thought, Reach's and H4's models of the CR are the same, but H4's has different colouring, isn't that right?
This thing is such inconsistent ass in Halo Reach in event hands it will liquify your organs and you in a shot or two, when the player uses it, a full magazine is needed to kill a single grunt.
I don't care what anyone says, this weapon is fucking awesome. The design is awesome, the sound is awesome, the reload is awesome, the whole thing just screams halo. Really hope it comes back in infinite.
I've always wondered though, how would the magnetic field be created around the projectile? My head cannon has always been the idea of a small "physical" projectile inside the plasma "bolt." I got the idea when reading a physics paper of some kind. I read something about using very low power pulse lasers inside an electron gas medium to generate an extremely intense magnetic field. The device used was a vaguely cylindrical tube and that got me thinking. I also calculated the bolt's width at something 124mm - far larger than the gun's muzzle. This also fed into the idea that maybe the plasma could be held around a smaller solid shell.
The electric arc at the front of plasma weapons strips the gas of its electrons to make it plasma and then uses the electrons to form a bubble. Since the concussion rifle has a magazine, it might use a projectile kinda like the plasma grenade, but other plasma weapons most definitely do not use a solid projectile, it would straight up be impossible because of how the weapons are designed.
@The Journey still doesn't make sense for an space army to use weapons with slow muzzle velocity, there are covenant weapons that are faster than Human bullet weapons.
@The Journey nooo, I m pretty sure they did it because in the first game people can dodge enemies. If your suggestion was the case, we wouldn't have railguns, normal human weapons stuff that was in the lore. For example they really knew about advanced physics enough to came up with graphine space elevators that would not do damage when they were shot down by the covenant. It was all about first game's campaign experience and limitations of the time during the development.
3-4 direct shits to an enemy spartan to score a kill, which makes it a viable weapon if you're used to tf2's sticky or grenade launcher arc Idk why people think it's bad, It's useful for knocking enemies into corners, messing up their aim, and preventing them from retreating
So, next is the plasma launcher, then the plasma repeater, then we get into halo 4 weapons, halo 4 sucks don't get me wrong, but the concept of hard light weapons, for me at least, sounds awesome.
The concussion rifle.
A glorified peashooter when wielded by a spartan
Death incarnet when wielded by an Ultra
Doesn't freaking help when the bastard of a ultra has a BS shield, so ya gotta use a noob combo on him whilst he is sling balls of explosive death at you with pin point accuracy

This is perfect.
Can’t forget the assassinations

Or by elites how to piss off me in Firefight or Campaign.

Ah the Concussion Riffle, aka the Poor Man's Brute Shot.
Except it doesn't ricochet off the ground. It's more like a light weight fuel rod gun.
@@Ratkill9000 the fuel rod has ricochet rounds in pretty much every game. (Other than MCC halo 1.)
The brute shot didn't have any ricochet in halo 3 whatsoever but did in halo 2 and H2A.
I always used it as the “covie shotgun”
Its more useful than the Brute Shot ever was.
More like a refined brute shot.
The Concussion Rifle was also used by Jackals a few times. this one Spartan Ops mission and in halo 5 warzone
People forget that the concussion rifle is light enough to be used by jackals
Ah yes, the ragdoll physics tester

The concussion rifle: it fires rugby players at terminal velocity at you. 🤣
this thing takes 2 shots to kill a grunt but can melt you almost instantly
I was partly expected you to go over the Plasma Caster very briefly. It is like a more advanced Concussion Rifle.
