To anyone who's curious to know how the self-assembly and floating sights work, it's likely due to a physic called quantum locking. It's when a piece of magnetized metal isn't fully attracted or repelled by another piece of metal, but rather, it's left hovering in place. It's usually quite strong, too.
Honestly in Halo 5 they kind of improved the Promethean weapons and mostly if my loadout is only promethean weapons , I would take Light Rifle and ScatterShot. I live for those weapons. But mostly I favor Covenant Carbine and either Shotgun , Sniper or BR (second weapon are normally are my Backups). The sounds are ok but Halo 4 has better sounds for Promethean Weapons especially Binary Rifle, those normally have me shocks if it hits me.
Supernatural and Alien, that's what makes these look and act awesome. Sure maybe it's not the best Halo weapons and it does lack what made the early games great but they're still really cool.
The style of Promethean weapons are really cool. Remember, these weapons were also used to combat the Flood, so just think about what the Forerunners had to go through to create these weapons. They can literally disintegrate biomatter.
Would also like to remind you that Promethean weapons are literally just budget Forerunner weapon, as in they were MADE on a budget. They are the equivalent of the Owen and Sten guns of the 1940's as they needed to make a shit-ton of them in small amount of time. The Forerunners had just got out of a 300 year war with a faction that was ALMOST technologically superior as they were before the Flood managed to make a move on the victorious Forerunners and wiped out a good portion of their resource stores. REAL Forerunner Infantry weapons had the capability to one shot a Scarab Walker.
@@kanewilson8624if we had human-forerunner war weapons that would be pretty insane, but it sounds like they might make anything the covenant and unsc made totally useless. prometheans weapons aren't too powerful obviously they're made to be the equivalent to some covenant and human weapons but still feel fairly strong and unique. i would like to have and them back maybe with another revamp, especially to the suppresor and boltshot.
I second that. I thought that the new boltshot's 3 round burst was cool minus how slow the projectiles travel. But quite a few of these sound effects sound way too cartoonish.
Just wish some of the changes from 4 to 5 didn't happen. No charge for the scattershot is kinda a bummer. I also wish we got a few more new Promethean guns in 5
Im 5 years late but you are telling me that an alien race that developed the halo rings has weapons that use clips, magazines and behave just like human weapons, but the other race that stole their technology from the forerunners has weapons that actually feel alien? Huh...
Yes and no, these weapons that are mostly used by the Prometheans were made especifically to kill the Flood, and it uses Hard Light contained to make it work, and that's why it incinirate the body, so if they are fighting with the Flood, then they can't reuse the body. But the Forerunners had more weapons, but that was when they were fighting with the humans; when the Flood came into the picture they stopped developing those weapons, because the Warriors were no longer in command. I think that's the explanation, I could be wrong, I really don't remember so much about that Besides, Forerunners used a lot their armors, those were really op, that's why you see The Didact flying and using the Force in Halo 4, because that's what Forerunners armor do, with some other stuff
There are 2 explanations for this 1. The forerunners had soldiers called warrior servants that used these weapons to fight the flood when it was not as powerful as it was at the end of the forerunner flood war 2. The forerunner weapons are able to synthesize to match the user, hence why the weapons look different when used by Prometheans compared to humans
They removed the Boltshot's charge burst and Light rifles 3 burst / single shot system, lowered the ROF on the Suppressor dramatically, changed the Binary Rifle from a one shot kill sniper to a sentinel laser from halo 3 but with only a few seconds of fire time, added a dumb charge shot to the Incineration Cannon. In short, they made the weapons boring.
The Suppressor has better range and accuracy (the Halo 4 version was really just a cheaper version of the SAW), the Halo 5 Binary Rifle isn’t entirely like the sentinel beam and it’s still a one shot kill weapon as long as you aim for the chest, and the Incineration Cannon’s primary fire is good against lesser enemies that you don’t want to waste good ammo on. However, I still prefer the original Incinerator and I don’t like how the new Boltshot shoots too similarly to the Suppressor in the same game.
The promethian weapons are so redundent in the series. Each weapon should have their own purpose. In the ruby rebalance mod of halo 3, even weapons with similar functions are different enough where each have their distinct purposes. The only promethian weapon that has some distinction is the rocket launcher, cause it's a scatter shot and not one single porjectile on impact
Honestly we don’t know. Cause after Infinite came out that’s when Hard Light weapons were introduced. This I think we can just stick to promethean weapons. Not to mention now all enemies doesn’t care what weapons they supposed carry, they can take anything now. Even UNSC

Except for the binary rifle, that scope is just vibing up there during reloads
Promethean weapons are probably what I love most about Halo aside from the Flood and the Forerunners themselves.
They sound so crisp and clear.

@@MDS129 my favorite promethean weapons are binary rifle lightrifle and boltshot and incineration cannon

In my opinion, the promethean weapons (excluding the Scattershot) should have the sound effects of Halo 4 but have the firing modes of Halo 5.

@@wyattthacker3679 I feel the sounds are fine already, especially with how the reload sounds are different almost every time.

Say whatever you want about Halo 5 (you're probably right), but it's Promethean weapons are objectively the coolest things in the universe
Just wish some of the changes from 4 to 5 didn't happen. No charge for the scattershot is kinda a bummer. I also wish we got a few more new Promethean guns in 5
I kinda miss the original incinerator though. The red lights really made it stand out and lets you know how dangerous it is.
@@dissonanceparadiddle you mean for the Boltshot? The Scattershot didn't have a charge mode.
@@RealSirMikay yeah that's what I meant
@@MisterJohnDoe yea same with the binary rifle
The Promethean Weapons(Forerunners) should Return in Halo Infinite.
YES! I'd also love to see new ones introduced!
The need to be in to add to the campaign story.
These are some of the best weapons ever made in the history of shooter games
Yeah, and I thought the Wonder Weapons from Zombies were cool.
The new Destiny 2 trials weapons look like these.
@Alex The Awsome you're fun at parties
They don't but I fucking wish lol
Wow, foerunner tech is awesome, better damage and designs than UNSC and the covenant techs.
Fun Fact: Most Covenant tech is actually derivative from what the Forerunners built.

I didn't know you could charge the incineration cannon...
Only in Halo 5. In Halo 4, the Incineration Cannon only has a one-round capacity and can't be charged.
They removed the Boltshot's charge burst and Light rifles 3 burst / single shot system, lowered the ROF on the Suppressor dramatically, changed the Binary Rifle from a one shot kill sniper to a sentinel laser from halo 3 but with only a few seconds of fire time, added a dumb charge shot to the Incineration Cannon.

Because people back in halo 4 thought they were stupid and bad

Let's at least appreciate those awesome aesthetics.
The sound design on the binary rifle was also downgraded
I agree with everything except the binary rifle. Its way cooler now. The halo 4 version was just another sniper, which we already have two of.
The promethian weapons are so redundent in the series. Each weapon should have their own purpose. In the ruby rebalance mod of halo 3, even weapons with similar functions are different enough where each have their distinct purposes.
The only promethian weapon that has some distinction is the rocket launcher, cause it's a scatter shot and not one single porjectile on impact
Gee, I didn't know the Incineration Cannon was actually a Scattershot reskin.
i hate how they ruined the binary rifle and incineration cannon
In my opinion, the Light Rifle has the best sounds.
It definitely does
Just to clarify, are these hard light weapons?
Honestly we don’t know. Cause after Infinite came out that’s when Hard Light weapons were introduced. This I think we can just stick to promethean weapons. Not to mention now all enemies doesn’t care what weapons they supposed carry, they can take anything now. Even UNSC
These probably are hard light weapons. Or they could just be straight up laser guns, for all we know.
how can they lose to the flood with this kind of tech ???
They were hopelessly outnumbered.
Such a shame there hasn't been a Halo game since 2010
You mean 2015?
@Miles Busch but Halo 5 was released in 2015... and I thought Halo 4 was from 2012.
