In regards to the plasma pistol in Infinite, notice how they brought back the charge shot humming sound from the Bungie Halos. Nice touch.
Good ear, and of you listen closely you will hear a mixture of halo 5 version as well.
Yah I heard it and I love it

The sound of zooming in and out on CE will always be special to me.
Me too, that sound is so iconic for us
it sounds well done in CEA
facts
In every Bungie game, they sound almost identical. Stop with the CE fanboying.
Every other magnum animation: casually moving the slide while bringing the gun out
Halo 5 animation: *weapon appears*
btw for clarification the bulldog and sidekick pistol in halo infinite are not the classic magnum and shotgun from previous halo games they are just new additions to the archetypes and 343 has stated that at some point in the future the magnum and classic shotgun will come back but they are just taking time to make sure they get it looking, sounding and feeling right before they chuck it into this fresh new sandbox
If you want to get technical about it, most weapons across the series aren't the same as earlier counterparts in one way or another. Reach's AR for instance isn't even an MA5 series, the BR in Halo 4 and 5 is wholly new production model, and there are very little similarities across the many different M6 series Magnums.
They never said that. They said they're open to the idea of including legacy weapons after launch
I still feel like the way the Bulldog works could just been the standard one. Think Bulldog fits more the role Mauler had in Halo 3
@@voicingdragoon7 It's actually much more in line with how the Shotgun worked in CE. With its respectable effective range for 2-3 shot kills, high rate of fire, but very low one-hit kill potential.
The Mauler was more of a "melee support" weapon. It's effective range was about as far away as the tip of your nose, and it was completely ineffective if you didn't follow up with a melee attack, or didn't have another weapon dual wielded to soften them up with first while you closed the gap.
@@LordEmpyreal the sidekick and bulldog are both higher rate of fire but lower damage versions of the classic shotgun and pistol. Because of that, they could have still worked well in a sandbox with the new weapons and classic weapons, so I dont know why they didnt just keep the classic magnum and shotgun
I'm so happy the spike grenade returned in Infinite, its effects looks so good and improved too
Honestly the spike grande sucks massive balls though, I’ve stuck the bots and they don’t even die at full health
Halo Infinite grenades have good shrapnel effects despite the cartoony explosion
@@LiftYagami The spike grenade is amazing. It's just not a grenade.
Sick it to walls, not people. Use it when making a tactical retreat to bait and even hide it. Got consistent kills on bots and players with it, just a few shots before while baiting them gets them in kill range.
Even in small UA-cam channels. But your true.. I’m extremely hyped for halo infinite, just like I did with halo 2 and 3.
They felt like they threw farther than the plasma gernade.
infinite's sniper's sound damn
I wish 343 brought back that green thermal scope for the Sniper Rifle.
@PUMACRAFT ok
as well as the blue needles for the needler
It’s blue but it has green effect when you looks at objects
@ImACaveSpider damn i seen you many times at Halo videos. but the fact that you have a a minecraft pfp just confuses me.
Infinite sniper sounds like Reach sniper with more bass.
343 really nailed the design of the heatwave. Looks like Bungie forerunner design.
Yeah. Plus it had its primary use slightly changed to crowd control.
Still gonna miss H4 and H5 forerunner guns tho 🥲
@@helleboreofficial4692 you really think they're gone?
@@argo9721 if you're about to say any leaks, just don't. I wanna stay leak free.
If anything I'm expecting the Flood to come back, because of Zeta Halo having a huge history with it because of the Primordial, Mendicant Bias, the Palace of Pain, etc.
I'm not expecting Forerunners, as much as I liked them.
@@helleboreofficial4692 yep really hope the flood makes a return and once again have that horror aspect like CE originally did.
@@helleboreofficial4692 yeah i do enjoy the 343 art style of forerunner stuff but bungie was def better.
The improvements from halo 5 to infinite are beyond awesome, the animations are beautiful and some are just brutal animations like the needler
Infinite is indeed, the best343 game yet😊
@@jasonsmith530that’s like saying Princess Diana is the most attractive car accident victim
@@anusmcgee4150she is tho
It's so annoying how the infinite needler looks and functions the best but has by far the worst sound in the series
I think it might be a bug. Hopefully they make it better by launch
@@ggssgtheorig7516 Yeah that thing seemed way to quiet. Either way, changing the audio is probably the easiest thing you can do with the thing.
@@Robosapien_ that wish,is now real
Confirmed, they're tweaking the sound
Nah, the best needler is the Halo 4 one.
Fun fact: due to increasing graphics of halo 4 ,343 had to compensate for almost every other thing ,level design , sound compression and quality , weapons sounds etc.
What do you even mean? Like of course next game, especially one of a new company takeover would have improved / changed?
@@ABoxIsMyHome You don't understand the time Halo 4 was launched
Same for H2A multiplayer. They were going to do all the maps
@@ugiustuskeiserus8066 Yup BUt time shortages and also that shit base XBOX ONE Hardware ruined the development of MCC in general
Also had to compensate with story quality. All in the name of those graphics
The magnum in Halo Infinite is not necessarily the magnum we all know and love. It's just a regular new handgun in Halo.
More like the pistol in 2 and ODST ain't it? Not sure we should even compare it to the magnum.
That's not even a magnum
Also it's a pistol like the only one in the game so he had to do it
@@karverdurane476 it's like a H2 magnum variant
Well the same could be said about the pistol in nearly all the games post ce so its not like the pistols were hand cannon in all games
to bad the shotgun lost its look, I think it would’ve look cool in infinite and 5, but all versions are fun…
except for 3’s, you have to literally be within 1 centimeter of an enemy for it to work
and you’re right about that, one of my favorite designs
Thankfully the Bulldog shotgun in infinite isn’t technically a successor. 343 could just add a more og shotgun in their 10 year halo plan.
@@taildecker9364 thats what they said they plan to do they said the bull dog isnt replacing the shotgun its just gonna be an alternative for it faster firing but less damage
well the bulldog isnt replacing the shotgun its just gonna be an alternative for it with faster fire rate but less damage they explained how legacy weapons will be added after launch such as the magnum
@PEDRO ALONSO MORENO MANRIQUEZ Halo 3 shotgun has the best look but worst functionality. I think the Halo CE's overpowered shotgun is the most fun to use.
Bro honestly I hate how the plasma pistol looks in 5 and Infinite
Same here!
its the sound that really does it for me when you pepper it
I think it would look better if the top was flat, like the previous games. Instead of being a perfect circle
Why did the design return in Infinite... I wanted the Type-25.
Agreed. It looks like a donut.
Infinite seems to have reused a lot of animations from Halo 5. Not necessarily a bad thing because I actually like the animation work in Halo 5, especially on the weapons. Just something I noticed.
It’s lazy. Halo 4 even took most the animations from reach too.
Like which one?
I ask because that's really unlikely. Infinite was built in a completely new engine made from the ground up.
@@ivanmontalvo9333 Wasn’t even a new engine, they basically did an entire facelift on the BLAM engine. It’s the same thing when they said that modern warfare was using a new engine when you can clearly see the ID Tech 3 licensing on the back of the disc cover lol.
@@CarvedStones mmm... I'm pretty shure that the slipspace engine is a complety new engine built for Infinite.
@@ivanmontalvo9333 It’s not, it uses blam as the foundation.
Dude what the heck happened to the needler sound in infinite
Also I love that they brought back the melee animation from CE for the needler
Infinite weapons sounds really good for the most part. The only weapons that sound bad imo are the needler and gravity hammer. Needler straight up sounds like a stock machine gun sound effect. Halo 4's was much better. Gravity hammer needs that "WOOOOOoooom!"
The weapon firing sounds in Infinite so far are pretty decent, for the most part. The reloading sound effects, however, leave a bit to be desired. But seeing as this is from a technical preview, I'm optimistic that 343 will improve them in the meantime before launch.
Wrong they sound the same
Souds like sht
Man the CE magnum still king. In sound, look, punch.
Sound no way
Disagree, Halo 3 ODST's pistol performs better and you weren't stuck with it.
@@Larmichim-sj6st Great Pistol, probably #3 for me. Halo CE, then 5, then ODST, then Infinite. The rest are fine.
God the Sidekick is so good. A worthy successor to the magnum in everyway
2 minutes in and I see two mistakes.
1. You didn't show off the H2A MP Magnum's second melee animation.
2. You showed the CEA Magnum's firing segment twice.
In most halo 5 weapons he only showed one of the melee animations, in infinite he wasn't comparing the weapon change animation but the pick up one.
There's also no tactical reload.
@@llamadasinrespuesta4631 I know.
Uuhhh there's a 3 mistake he did
It does take a lot of time to complie clips like these and edit them together. Mistakes are kind of bound to slip here and there.
Halo really has some of the least consistent art direction I've seen in any franchise. Sure, 1-3 it's not too bad but then you have Reach, CEA, H4, H2A, H5 and now Infinite all sporting their own or mixing art styles.
Party poopeeeeer party pooopeeeeer
@@giorgiofelice2928 parties been pooped for ten years.
@@eclipse9304 every party haves a pooper
Poop indeed
Agreed. The amount of times they change the sounds is a little... I don’t know.
There are different animations for empty vs tac reloads, and differences between weapon pick up and unholster animations.
I feel like these should have been included.
Awesome video!
I just wish the plasma pistol wasn't using the 343 era Covenant design of "probably filled with tumors".
Classic plasma pistol has always been a good design.
Weapon sounds is something that I felt was a big part of Halo. Apart from the unique looks, the unique sounds of Halo guns made the game stand out from other shooters. I think that might be why I have a problem with them using actual existing guns for audio in Halo Infinite, they sound more real, but they're no longer unique, they sound just like any other generic shooter now.
Because infinite is a generic shooter with a Halo skin.
@@JereBowl lmao I dare you to find another shooter that even comes close to how infinite plays. Put that money where your mouth is
i am a gun amateur. here's my guess about what the UNSC guns would have been inspired:
handguns: the M6D of Combat evolved has been clearly inspired by the Israeli Desert eagle, by its opening stile on the top slide, by its inox finish the Deagles are famous for , (even if some variant exist in grey or gold finish) and of course, its firepower. it's ironical how the M6D of CE was called simply a pistol while the much less powerful ones in other Halo games are called magnum, while Bungie should do the reverse. the M6D have also some resemblances to the Austrian Steyr M9 , by the form of its grip and no hammer on its back.
the Halo 2 M6C looks more like a Walther P99 and its silenced variant in ODST kinda looks like a Maxim 9 with the barrel , a real american-made suppressed pistol. the other pistols : overly futurized in Halo 4, but the 5 one looks like a Caracal , while the Infinite Sidekick looks like a slightly visually different Caracal or a P99 once again, without the scope on the barrel bottom
M7 Submachinegun: it looks like a thinner P90 with a magazine on its side , and the concept of caseless bullets came from the HK G11 , which was a rifle. looks like that Bungie was been inspired by Star-gate back in the 2000s. in Halo 5 , it really will looks like a P90 with the mag on the to gun, the design have also some details which reminds me of the APC9 (although it will be a coincidence) and the stock and barrel looks like a MP7
MA5 assault rifles: fun fact, the Bungie weapon designer wanted a totally futurized rifle without any inspiration (except maybe for the rifle of the movie Aliens), but people finish to point out it finally looks like a belgian FN F2000, which will be a big coincidence. it is technically a battle rifle since it shoots 7.62mm NATO. some of its characteristics looks like they came from a HK G3 , like the 7.62mm and its handle seen in the first versions
Battle rifles 55: apparently inspired by french Famas or Chinese QBZ 95, and unlike the MA5 , we can consider it like a true AR, it's the same ironical issue of naming than with the pistols
shotguns: the M90 shotguns seen in the first games share the resemblances with real modern pump-shotguns made of polymer , with pistol grip and big polymer stock such as the R870 MCS , the Fabarm or the Benelli M3, the ones of Halo 4 & 5 are overly futurized, while he Bulldog of Halo Infinite looks like a SRM Arms with a pump.
DMR: at the basis they're like variant of the BR55, but by looking closer , they looks like a Kel-tec RFB
Snipers: they generally looks like a mix between Accuracy international rifles , such as the AS50 , and the Mechem TNW.
grenades: generally looks like futurized M26 or M67 american military grades grenades, fun fact , they're not actually frag grenades since they detonate their explosive charge to kill the targets
Saw Machinegun: clearly have been inspired by the Ultimax series of Singaporean machineguns
Heavy machineguns: the ones seen mounted on Warthogs cars or stationary seems to have been based about the american GAU-19 or the M134 Dillon
hope my comment have been interesting.
The boom on the infinite needler is just as satisfying as the garand ping
Say what you will about Halo Infinite, but that Sniper Rifle firing sound....god DAMN.
That's what you would expect to be "the last sound you'll ever hear" if you're face to face with it.
Hope infinite has rising dirt from grenades like 1,2 & 3 and needler needs work
Actually, the needles in infinite has recoil and "needle spread"
@@Colin_716Classics but sounds like a assault rifle thou
@@masterchief6332 lol yah it does
I can't believe between Halo 1 and 5 people forgot how charging handles work. Great sounds, and some interesting animation all throughout the years.
it's what happens when you have a gun guy on the animation team vs when you don't
Halo 4 sound design has a special place in my heart. Not sure why, I just really love it.
i love how the top slideshow is aligned well except for halo ce anniversary
They seriously ruined the plasma pistol and most covenant weapons. They sound and look like children's toys ever since 343 took over
meh, mostly just in 5
@@kremlin1900 lets be honest, the plasma pistol in infinite sounds and looks like dogsh1t
@@userRDSM it looks nothing like the classic, but I honestly don’t think it’s that bad.
They ruined the entire Covenant style. At least everything is no longer purple with green lights like in 4...
the entire first 3 games look like children's toys
I don't like the shotgun in Halo infinite, assuming it replaced the old one.
This is just a new shotgun, the old one will be added after launch.
@@yourewallsareveryconvenien8292 Thanks for the nut. I can sleep well tonight.
@@yourewallsareveryconvenien8292 yeah I agree I just seriously hope 343 bring back the classic shotgun back to halo infinite even in the campaign not just the multiplayer.
the M90 shotgun seen in the first Halo's will always looks the best. the M45 seen in Reach looked nice too. if only they bring back the M90 or M45 as a bonus gun in multiplayer
3:52 i love this sound.
Great stuff! So many old nostalgic weapons! ❤ :')
One thing though....
WHERE'S THE PLASMA RIFLE?! I guess it wasn't included since it stopped appearing after reach (or H2A technically). 😔 I miss it.
Halo 5 has the brute one
4:59 *upgrade*
5:01 fuck go back
5:03 I SAID GO BACK
5:05 Perfection
I hope the grav hammer and needler sounds change
*Infinite sound effects sound so different between the time of recording of this video and now, too. At least that is the case for that Plasma Pistol.*
I LOVE H4 and H2A sounds. Infinite is really good as well
I love how the Sniper sounds in Infinite
The finally sped up the rocket ready time in infinite Season 2. It was absolute torture.
My favorite weapon design
Assault Rifle: Halo 5
Magnum: Halo 1
Battle Rifle: Halo 2
DMR: Halo 5
Rocket Launcher: Halo 4
Sniper: Halo 1 Anniversary
Shotgun: Halo 4
Is it my impression that the sound of halo Infinite guns have much more of a punch to them compared to the others?
343 finally found the bass option.
Everything looks and sounds beautiful in exception of the Needler and the plasma pistol. :(
Holy shit the infinite sniper is so beefy
Also the odst guns are so little lol
The halo infinite needler sounds like an assault rifle Lmaoo
The assault rifle missed the different sound at the end of the ammo. Halo 5 made it well. Hope they update it before release
love how 343 added recoil and weapon climb to literal dudes who punch through concrete in multi-billion dollar sets of armor that can withstand falling from an accelerated atmospheric entry logic 100
I wish they used the Halo Reach design for the Sniper in Infinite.
You forgot to show the Tactical Magnum in Halo 3's multiplayer on MCC
That's litterally just Halo 3 ODSTs Pistol, just with a slower fire rate
Why is your sub count so low? You make great videos
Starting with Halo 4, they removed the whistle of the needles when meleeing with the Needler. I want my needle whistle back
18:45 lol those damn grunts are hilarious

It would have been cool if they took the Halo 5 promethian weapons and redesigned them as Brute weapons.
Me encanta con en halo Infinite convivan todos los sonidos del disparo sobrecargado de la pistola de minuto 10:30
Not showing the vanilla H5 launcher is a sin, IMO. That launcher is actually pretty cool, and the SPNKR variant came out a few years later. It makes more sense from a soldier's perspective to hold a tube rather than this huge contraption filled with tons of moving parts and that makes a ton of noise.
343 made the Best Assault rifles ...
Thanks, you did about halo3odst.
Love the "ping" sound that the Halo 4 sniper rifle has.
After seeing the Needler reload in SPV3 I am spoiled. That should be THE official Needler reload animation.
Oh dear... Halo Infinite kept Halo 5's plasma pistol design.
I always thought it looked like a donut. I hate it.
Evolution of Halo Running with guns plz (Halo 2 to Infinite)
the thing about having so many weapons in a game, is that it makes it so much harder to balance them.
So mad respect to 343 for trying to add all the weapons. The Assault Rifle looks/plays amazingly in infinite
It's weird how to firing smoke effects are completely gone in Halo 5 and Infinite for the AR, BR etc.
What’s your favourite Halo series weapons?
the needlers in the 343’s games break my heart
the halo infinite sound design best imo
God I miss the bark the sniper had in the OG versions of the first 3 games
I imagine using the word OG
it was also heard in Reach
you forgot the the reach animation for pulling out the plasma pistol
I like this video. All of my favorites are Halo 3
All these designs have something going for them
btw halo odst actually got the BR in firefight tho understandable if not included cuz just be the same probably
How did you get the Halo CE pistol and AR in Halo 2 Anniversary?
In the shotgun section of the video, in the beginning of it they messed up the Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST
The plasma pistol is sexy looking and sounding in all of them buuut... infinite just is the perfect version.
H1 to H5 Assault rifles look the best. i like reach as much as the next but i dont get why they went back to that model for infinite. it just looks out of date and out of place compared to everything else
Both ARs are actually different Gen. The Halo Reach Assault Rifle is a MA37 while the Halo Infinite Assault Rifle is a MA40. They're lore-based weapons so they're not like the Halo 5 AR. Just like the BR55 from Halo 2 where it now has a BR75 in Halo Infinite.
However I did have a theory about why they went back into utilizing older/newer models.
Ever since the created conflict, when the Guardian disabled Earth's defenses, it seemed to make sense to go back to weapons that didn't utilize technology that was vulnerable to Guardians, especially when _most_ of the UNSC's weaponry and vehicles were futuristically powered.
But for other human colonies that weren't affected by the Guardians, I'd guess the UNSC is now limited to their pre-human/covenant war weaponry. It hasn't been established WHEN the MA40 Assault Rifle was created, but I'm hoping for it to be at least between 2556 - 25560, then that will give you an answer on why they changed it to a similar model to Reach's.
Exactly. The reach model was made to look like it does to showcase an older version of the AR. So it doesn't make sense why it's back in Infinite.
Bungie era has good sounds effects.
And the worst pistol ever award goes to... Halo 3!
Why does the hud look different in h2a when he shows it a second time ?
Because mcc made a new multiplayer for halo 2 anniversary using the halo 4 engine so some of the animations are different
Halo 4 and 5 is just the best animated and feature packed games
Halo 4 AR sounds 🔥🔥🔥
Plasma pistol: Whole squad rolled up
How come you didn’t include the gunfighter magnum from Halo 5?
Halo 4 sounds so hideous. AR was neat
especially the battle rifle, that noise haunts my dreams
Halo 4 sound direction: make it as tin-y as possible!
i always found that Halo 4 was the last Halo game to have metallic weapons sounds , the other games just sounds like plastic
Some guns wernt in this and some were that didnt make sense to be in, which is fine. Entertaing to watch regardless

The BR and sniper in Infinite sound so beefy and perfect. Also, it's interesting how Bungie recycled most of the sounds so while they do kinda sound weak and outdated by today's standards, we are so used to them that they are still classics.
P.S. A lot of 5's looks and sounds are abominations.

Halo 5 weapon sounds are some of the best in a series what are you talking about
@@argo9721 A few of them are fine, but overall the weapon sounds are either weak or uninspired. Better than Halo 4’s weapons sounds for sure though. The sound design of Halo 5 that I’d say was great is all the little stuff. Headshot “clicking” sound, ambient noise on maps, stuff like that is what it did well. Not the guns
you missed one of the halo2 pistol punch animations
14:58 look in 0,25
Did you have a time constraint? Also some of these weapons weren't in Combat Evolved
the animation of changing the weapon and picking it up from the floor is different.
I think Infinite design really pull off a great combination between old style and new technology. Hands down the best looking Halo in my opinion, just a pitty that explosions and spark particles look horrible.
