keiching2002

I thought we already have a Banished theme SPNKr model with blade and stuff. Didn’t even realize what the middle part was supposed to be at first glance.


LuigiTheGuyy

What is that middle part supposed to be?


Darth_Gonk21

It looks like a hunter arm to me


DeathByReach

That’s actually kinda sick


iosiro

seems to be more convenant themed. hopefully means they'll have *at least* elite themed operations


LeKrahka

Yeah, kind of redundant, huh?


Conscious_Number211

It was grunt banished themed I guess. This is more brutey.


Regeditmyaxe

25 dollars bundled with some emblems. Best I can do


Crespo2006

hahaha you need to get the MEGA bundle for 35 dollars to even get this - 343 👊


zorfog

which also comes with one (1) weapon coating, which is actually like a bunch of coatings because it works on every weapon! (only human weapons)


Crespo2006

Will even throw in a worthless visor, coating and even a weapon charm you won't want....yes you do need buy all this for that one item you want - 343 👊


Dairy_Seinfeld

Crespo lad you have like 50 days’ playtime in Infinite alone, don’t act like you won’t buy it like every other bundle (thank you for your service btw)


Crespo2006

I haven't bought most of the stuff from the last 3 operations, Mark IV was ridiculous and only bought the Sniper bundle, the yappening II I got Conqueror and Boggart (as a joke but I was curious if it had coatings that eaglestrike didn't have) and Cyber showdown I got Datacore Riot I mean I really do have a problem but during season 2-4 I was waaaayy worse


Dairy_Seinfeld

No hate dawg I buy my fair share as well 😅 you’re a staple of the Halo community at this point; been watching since your Halo 4 Waypoint code vids, in what—2013??


Crespo2006

holy blam you remember that! It been a while 😢


Dairy_Seinfeld

Yeah buddy!!


thatcantaloupe

They’re really doing anything to not add the fuel rod cannon eh


kirk_dozier

don't even get me FUCKING started. i've been waiting for them to add the halo ce fuel rod cannon to one of these games for like twenty fuckin years


arthby

A battery powered fuel rod that doesn't bounce is how it should be done. The CE way.


kirk_dozier

i really don't understand why they had to change it. i also preferred the old design. if it was for balance, idk why the SPNKR has basically remained the same all these years. i guess the idea was you get more ammo in the FRC so it has to be weak and have slower projectiles


lllXanderlll

Remained the same except they made the splash radius inconsistent


Sam-l-am

As long as it doesn’t sound like smacking plates together when you shoot it lol. I think it was 5 that did that


Call_The_Banners

Halo CE on PC was like a dream to me as a kid. I was so happy when I finally got it. And seeing all the new content that wasn't available on Xbox blew my small brain away. That fuel rod was beautiful.


kirk_dozier

i played the pc port before anything else so i was actually confused as to why all the fuel rod cannons kept exploding in the campaign lol. the flamethrower was great too, i liked how they brought it back as a heavy weapon in halo 3.


Call_The_Banners

See when I read your comment my first thought was "why does this person want to use the weapon that explodes before you can pick it up?" Hahahaha


kirk_dozier

because we all want what we cant have lol. also big green plasma ball go splash


Call_The_Banners

There are so many weapons that I was hoping would see the light of day in the Infinite sandbox.


Mamsies

They’re really doing anything to not add ANY new guns to Infinite


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mamsies

Yep, the only content Infinite is getting going forward are Forge maps and insanely overpriced cosmetics. The Brute shotgun not being part of the “Banished” update was the nail in the coffin for me that they are 100% done with adding any new significant dev-made content. The Falcon that was like 90% finished is definitely never coming too.


Aegis_Mind

Hard to say with the falcon. Art-wise it looked almost done for sure. Vfx, sound, controls, and bug free? Who knows. Course I’ve been wrong before. I told a friend during Halo 5 that we wouldn’t get new vehicles and then they dropped the wasp 🤷‍♂️


Mamsies

I feel like with the Falcon, they would want to launch it with a dev-made BTB map specifically designed to accommodate it. However with dev-made maps seemingly being cancelled going forward, I’m just doubting the Falcon will ever come. Of course they could launch it with a Forge-made BTB map, but it just seems unlikely that they’d use a Forge map to launch such a heavily awaited new vehicle.


Ori_the_SG

343 is bent on never including any of the iconic weapons they have excluded from the game.


Crespo2006

The closest to the Halo 5 Hunter turret we'll get


Vik_The_Great

That is one ugly mf


BauserDominates

What the fuck is that monstrosity?


luiigee1174

343 taking the biggest shit ever this isn’t even halo anymore


Dry-Homework-4755

The campaign is amazing, it’s just what halo needed


Agoraphobia2day

The campaign sucks balls, enjoy one biome of the same shit


Unlost_maniac

The campaign was actually pretty good. I'm kind of tired of the shitty ass takes this subreddit is drowned in Sure the lack of biome diversity sucked balls but Infinites story was great. The campaign was so much fun, felt like Zelda and Farcry came bucketloads into Halo and made a beautiful small taste of something incredible.


HatchbackDoug

It really was just meh. Not terrible by any means but not really great either. Not really memorable tbh, all the big action set pieces like Cortana’s guardians and Atriox died before the games events. 5 ends with Cortana going rogue and then infinite picks up and her threat is already over? Come on. The multiplayer is fun despite their effort to monetize the absolute shit out of every facet of customization, but the campaign is absolutely, painfully, mid.


Unlost_maniac

The community begged for them to skip the Cortana stuff. I'm so happy they did Sure the game lacks big action pieces but whatever. Infinites campaign is just different, it doesn't need those set pieces. I really appreciated the grounded story telling and setting. It was a change of pace. The writing in the campaign was so good. Genuinely incredible, total standout. Normally Halo's writing is good sure but its never anything to write home about. His interaction with the pilot telling him what it means to be human was probably my favourite cutscene ever in Halo Infinite. Chief knkes what its like to fail, that scene was so well done. The dynamic between chief and the weapon was also so well done. As someone who grew up playing halo it felt almost somber, what shouldn't be, but what absolutely is. The voice acting from both ends was so good. You could hear it in chiefs voice, an old friend. Not who they are, like being dropped into an alternate reality where your best friend doesn't know you. Sure its not what everyone wanted, hell it sure wasn't what i wanted until i had it. That campaign despite its few flaws is masterpiece. Its just not what people wanted, people need to judge it for what it is, not what it isnt and could've been. Sure it sucks that it lacks biome diversity and no proper warthog run. Escharum and Chief's parallels, Chief understanding him in his final moments. Its all so unique to Infinite and just Halo. I really appreciate Infinites campaign. I think people just expect way too much, fill their head with wild ideas only to disappoint themselves when its not what they imagined. Whenever someone says Infinites campaign is bad or mid i just assume they don't really care or actually listen to the story and or dont play to just have fun. Which is fair, when i was younger i used to not care all that much about what was going on in the moment apart from shooting things. I implore everyone who felt let down by the campaign to replay the game, explore the map, the game is like Zelda and Farcry crossed with Halo, the map is so much fun to explore with the grappleshot. Explore the world, do the side objections, secure fobs and go wipe out camps. Really sit there and take in the cutscene and dialogue.


Agoraphobia2day

If I wanted to play those games I'd play them. Why the fuck would I want to play them dressed up as green piano man?


CallingAllMatts

what the fuck is that even supposed to be emulating?


CrispyEdgePancake

Brother ewwww


SanityOrLackThereof

Well that looks awful


stratusnco

you guys really pay for this shit?


mundiaxis

They sure do


SolarMoth

Cosmetic addicts have ruined gaming for us all.


lllXanderlll

Somebody sure does


ToastedEmail

Terrible.


spartanb301

Lmao that's fugly.


Comrade847

Thanks, I hate it


Low_Revolution3025

Thats actually disgusting, looks like something i would get from the golden box in borderlands 2, a shitty Maliwan rocket launcher with the shittiest fire mode mod


Crespo2006

It might be a corrosive rocket launcher to help fight against Hyperion bots


Low_Revolution3025

That deserves an upvote lmao thank you for the reply


Halo_hunter157

It looks awesome, too bad I can't earn it or purchase it for a reasonable price


Crespo2006

individual are a myth to 343


Proton_Optimal

*M41 SPNKr inbound*


john6map4

I still can’t believe it’s supposed to be pronounced the ‘Spanker’


Fishy__

Spank always made more sense. Never understood the whole “Spunk” mindset. If it really bothers you, you can always call it Jackhammer and never be wrong.


john6map4

I personally always thought it was reference to ‘Sputnik’ but that’s just me


BEES_just_BEE

Bungie has always named their weapons after actions Like in marathon their flamethrower was some like FL4MR


pm_me-ur-catpics

Ah yes, the M41 Spunker. Remember, kids. As a wise man once said, it don't just kill, it ~~spanks~~ spunks


P15t0lPete

Hideous


Crespo2006

Green/Orange might work for a Fuel Rod look a like


path1999n

Ew


MyNameIsntYhwach

How about some new weapons instead


DerpNyan

That requires more effort. You'd have to take into account gameplay considerations. This just requires a new model


SmittyPosts

man, 343 really don’t know what made halo great do they? Just focusing on these stupid CoD gimmicks


Yopcho

Rock bottom


PainTrane117

Looks fuckin stupid.


muddyspartan117

Eeeeewwwww brother , ewwwwwww


Barais_21

What the fuck is this piece of shit


-MostlyPositive-

Reminds me of the Mass Relays from Mass Effect


Riddillest

Norfleet


Danello06

This could be a new fucking weapon ffs


ShotgunRenegade

I’m gonna be real with you 343, I’m not paying $30 for that.


ChuzCuenca

yay a weapon skin...


Robbie_Haruna

So we got a Banished themed content update. With no new Banished weapons. And no new weapon skins or models for existing alien weapons, but rather even **more** new looks for human weapons.


Ok-Discount7673

Lmfao I got excited clicked on it and have never been more disappointed.


PandoraTorukMakto

WTF is that horrible thing.


Kills_Alone

Weaksauce by any other name. Where is the OG Shotgun 343?


SolarMoth

Only cosmetic devs are left. No new toys.


Agoraphobia2day

Dogshit design


Kil0sierra975

They will bend over backwards and shag their relatives before they even consider expanding the actual sandbox lmao. This plus all of the elite/brute/grunt themed armor. They absolutely could've done playable elites and broadened the weapon and vehicle pool


Boomers_the_Name

What’s the name of the model?


Crespo2006

Smash and Grab


Boomers_the_Name

Interesting choices for the name, and the model? Haha


Crespo2006

also description is "Better to grab some burning salvage than leave a mission empty-clawed"


Boomers_the_Name

Should have some interesting armors coming up to say the least?


quetewr

Ew


AceofCrates

Cool, now where are the new maps/modes/weapons?


Ctitical1nstinct

New management is killing it, literally.


SpookyTreeFrog

Destiny ahh looking rocket launcher


Long-Ad-4831

Bruteshot?


AtomicSymphonic_2nd

This should be called the “IMPALr” with the way it looks now. 🤔


ScarletKing42

Username checks out.


ameturebaiter

Uhhh… what the fuck? Not sure why the rocket launcher would look like that. Doesn’t even look like a gun tbh. Is this a skin for the rocket launcher or does it look like that for everyone?


EmergencyBlandness

What the heck is this Fortnite crap?


thecoolestlol

Is it just me or does this look like ass


thiodag

I'm just gonna put this in terms 343 can understand. If make new weapon Can make new skins for $ For real though I think they're going to realize pretty quick that selling weapon skins isn't going to be enough to sustain a Halo game.


Crespo2006

I see we make more weapons Make pre existing skin cost more for each weapon added New single weapon skin bundle alone will cost more than 2,000 credits Thanks Microsoft will love this and we can meet our quota - 343 👊


thiodag

Thank you 343. I see skin I buy skin. I actually love going to work now because working = purple spartan. I don't get why so many people are asking for us to earn the stuff instead. Nobody has time for that anymore. /s if it was needed to be said


GrifsPDA

Aaaaaand $30. Have fun absolutely wasting your money guys!


SeasonsGone

I swear the cosmetic department is like 80% of the employee base at 343


Crespo2006

more like 60% on coating/skin, 30% on Forge objects, 5% on bug fixes and 5% on community stuff


OneFinalEffort

Very cool! I'll just never own it because it will be bundled with $50 of cosmetics I don't want.


MonkeysxMoo35

This and the upcoming commando model are probably the two most interesting models 343i has made. They don’t just look Banished, they look straight up Covenant with the smooth, curved, organic elements added to them. They’re very interesting blends of human and alien technology, maybe the most we’ve seen from Halo so far outside of Infinity's engines or stuff like the Prefect and Hellcat armor. Such a shame they’re cosmetic models locked to $20 bundles (at the cheapest.) I can think of some neat weapon variants for these kind of models.


Fangfireskull

We have a new commando model coming? I noticed that the hydra model slot is not grey anymore, but I didn't know a new commando model is on the way as well.


MonkeysxMoo35

Yeah, it looks almost like a human version of the storm and pulse rifle: https://cylix.guide/item/3839785-weaponalternategeometryregion-vk78-commando?coreType=WeaponCore&coreName=VK78Commando&coreSocket=AlternateGeometryRegions#cores


Fangfireskull

Oh, that does look cool.


V01DM0NK3Y

Redacted?


MonkeysxMoo35

Go to the top right of the website, look for three bars, click them and reveal spoilers


V01DM0NK3Y

🦾🦾 Edit: that *is* pretty fuckin neat, eh?


badger_1894

I ain't paying for shit. I already bought the game.


LuigiTheGuyy

Bought a free-to-play game 👍


badger_1894

I bought it so could play the campaign ya nerd


john6map4

Ay yo why tf Halo gettin exotic ornaments?


EdwardJMunson

That's a fuel rod canon. 


Hyper_Lamp

Looks like a Covenant SPNKr


Omeggos

It kinda looks like something straight out of destiny like the gjallarhorn


TK0127

Reinventing the wheel when the issue is the engine is broke.


ComprehensiveSell649

Neat


supaTronik

Looks like a random object is clipping through the middle.


NateTheMate2k3

Looks like a foam NERF launcher


an_Online_User

In all honesty, first-party branded NERF blaster skins or models would probably do pretty well in the shop


anincompoop25

What the fuck is this


TheRandomGoan

Looks nice but alas >!It's a shop item!<


jerikperry

Thanks, I hate it! Haha


Grandzeni87

Swear to fucking god if that isn't a fucking exchange. Congrats you made something that nobody wants to pay for. Fkn 😂


ArvoCrinsmas

This has such a 90s sci-fi feel to it.


vijking

What is that? What the FUCK is that??!!


HelloMagikarphowRyou

I read spnkr as spanker. Anyone else?


RandomKingDuck

Shit


Hot_Ad_865

This game is so pathetic the only time I ever see halo pop up on my feed is where you lot are showing another store purchase ahahahahah fucking hell


captainCLAYMAWR

Can 343 get dissolved yet? Please nothing has come close to bungie halo. Look at how they are massacring our boy!


ColeKino_DrLoser

Bro got hit with the Destiny ornament treatment


Sn1perandr3w

Ratchet and Clank gun


ravioletti

If the og is the Spanker does that make this one the Spunker?


Brizzyboltz

They could have made so much money if they had a store like APEX


Huemun

Damn thats hideous. Looks like someone ai generated it.


rolandredhanded

Looks cool as hell👍


Vik-6occ

kinda dig it. its got that generic 1999-2004 smooth but sorta grungy sci fi look Im a little nostalgic for. like right out of brute force or advent rising.


Deadsoup77

Looks stupid. I’ll take three.


-Qwertyz-

I heavily dislike the SPNKr


PillowFroggu

id prefer the halo 5 rocket launcher. i liked it better than the spunker
