:Very interested in that rocket launcher. I know Halo 1 was originally planned to have a single-tube rocket launcher as well as the M41, but that it got dropped. It wouldn't be the first time a weapon cut from the original game made it into a later one - the flamethrower made it into Halo PC and Halo 3, and the gravity rifle got retooled into the beam rifle. The new assault rifle is giving me a pretty gnarly M41A Pulse Rifle vibe, which is neat. I've also seen some worries that the BR with iron sights represents adoption of a CoD aim style, but I'm hoping it just represents a way to functionally differentiate the BR and DMR in terms of gameplay. Just because a weapon has iron sights doesn't mean Chief has to use them. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 21:38, 12 August 2014 (EDT) | :Very interested in that rocket launcher.

::I seriously doubt standard FPS aiming will be added, if anything that trailer emphasized that they're going back on some of the more controversial changes in 4 (like Loadouts). And while I'm not sure how it would work with everyone starting with the same stuff, it ''looks'' like we might see weapon customization. The M7 looks like it has a small rail for optics over the front sight as well as a side rail near the front, and the MA5D and BR85 both added a side rail as well; oddly the M395 doesn't have one. The BR's red dot sight is interesting, and it and the DMR's scope are both rail-mounted. What was the MA5D's fire selector in Halo 4 is now something else (I see "IR" as one setting), and there's a new fire selector added to the rear and below, in a much more practical position. The BR85 actually has a flash hider now, and one that would cause the four-way muzzle flash it has too. Most interestingly, the M7 has a charging handle on both sides, and given that we've gone back to proper reload animations after ODST, we'll actually be using it for the first time! That said, it looks like we don't have the side magazine anymore; I would assume it's in the pistol grip, though that said, every M7 looks like it has a pistol grip mag. That rocket launcher looks suspiciously like an AA launcher, we'll see. I'm definitely happy 343 realized that not having the SMG made for a broken human weapon sandbox, and even just showing the AR/BR/SMG/DMR together like they were in the trailer is rather reassuring. There are still five weapon in the Beta that weren't shown in the trailer, though one can be assumed to be the M6, and probably the Shotgun (I wonder if the reload animation will finally be fixed) and Plasma Pistol too.

:After taking a good long look at the unidentified rocket launcher, I've come to the conclusion that its not a rocket launcher. About mid ways on the weapon, is what looks like a magazine mounted on the top at an angle. It looks more to me that rather than a one shot rocket launcher, as previously thought, but rather a multi shot, micro missile launcher. At least, that would make sense in my mind, anyway, due to the fact that there's a magazine mounted on, it. And I know its not the target sight, as that is below the magazine. Any thoughts?
