That certainly is a whole lot more macho!
Predator is one of those testosterone driven movies that is hadly every made anymore. I miss those days. I hope DOOM lives up to my expectation!

Is that secondary component a grenade launcher? Like the one actual military rifles have but it was left out because of game balance?

I've got no idea. I modeled the lower attachment after the shot gun from Halo. I think you're right abot game balance. But I think this is a nifty gimic. With the varied firepower, the weapon behavier can simply be modified to match, slower, fewer rounds for the shotgun and slower reload time, other modifiers to maintain balance.
I'm sure Bungie had their reasons.
Thanks for looking!

I only ask because I saw a similar weapon in the MGS4 trailer. I don't actually own Halo 2-or an XBox-but from what I've read, a Battle Rifle with a shotgun on it, would be an excellent urban cobmat weapon. They would have to disable the grenades or something, though.

I think the game perameter can limit 1 optional attachment at a time. Either shotgun or a grenade launcher equivalent. When I played Halo for hte PC, I didnlt see any grenade launchers. THe next heavy ordinance was the rocket launcher.

I was talking about controls and balance; there's no way to fire a second weapon given the current controller config. The best response would be to use the dual-weilding configuration; L-trigger fires the secondary, with no grenades or melees.
What would be interesting would be if everyone started out with the battle rifle, and had the chance to pick up the various attachments around the map, with random spawns. Current 'launchers are one-shots.
Halo 2 has a four-shot Covenant weapon called the Brute Shot. It's basically a grenade launcher with a blade attached, and has the highest Melee damage in the game.

I like that idea for the configuration for this weapon. (note I have the game and play on xbox live alot!!!!!!) I would love to have this weapon in the game because lot of the time you need the BR for long reange but than another guy get close...then the shotgun would come in handy. ^_^ I alike the bruteshot alot but if you don't have the mult-pack with the new maps then it is pretty bad (in online gameplay) aganist anything expect BRUTES and weaker convant. Elites and sparatans the bruteshot is not as good as say dual welding. I wish that the bruteshot had either more shot or more ammo! That would be very cool to have some of these weapons and some older one weapons (like the old pistol GRRRRR!!! all you needed was 4 headshots on that thing) in halo 3. (note magnum in halo 2 suck....you cannot kill a sparatan or elite will dual weilding 2 of them!!!!!)
Sorry I when on a tangent!!!! ^_^ I play this game too much! I am LVL 32! I been playing for like over a year! ^_^

Many have complained about the pistol switch. I thing Bungie made the right choice: the original pistol was meant to be a support weapon to the AR. If it were in Halo 2, with dual-weilding, the game would be ridiculously unbalanced. Bungie's official response is that new players weren't using the pistol, favoring the more powerful looking AR. The BR, from what I've heard, is nearly as powerful as the Pistol was, and designed to be more n00b-friendly than the pistol.
Several players, notably [link] complain that the pistol was the only defense against someone who spawns near a sniper rifle or rocket. They ignore the fact that spawning with excellent weapons isn't much removed from having them nearby. In fact, I've charged a guy with a SPNKR and killed him with an AR.

Yeah I agree that the BR was a good switch from the orginal pistol. It just that the pistols in halo 2 now are extremely bad. That is the point that I was trying to make. ^_^

Well, they're a support weapon. They're supposed to be a reserve.

love the chief. played through halo 1 yesterday and realised i dont like the battle rifle, the original assault rifle packs more punch. looks good in this though, i might like it more if they considered these mods

Love it, always wondered why there wasn't a attached grenade launcher to the rifles in Halo. Keep up the excellent work.

You never cease to impress. This is probably one of the best master chief artworks on deviant art.

I sometimes wonder how you get things so smooth and clean. Nice composition and colour use to creat the focal point.

I wish there was a gun like that in Halo.... of course it wouldn't help me much : (

The master key system you have devised looks significantly less dorky than:

I am a big fan of halo and I think that would be an awsome guy in the game, that our a Battle Rifle with an M203 gernade launcher on the bottom. The only thing I notice is that the Warthog seems kinda big compared to the Marines.

Heh. I love that bullpup config, by the way.

I'd question the ability to load the shotgun, the loading bay's obscured by the BR. /k/ommando rantings aside, top notch stuff, as to be expected from a pro like you.
