Concussion rifle is what happens when you take the Halo 3 brute shot, make it even weaker than before and add completely obnoxious screen flash effects to it.

Fair enough. Maybe they'll tweak it for H4.
COVENANT CARBINE BITCHES.
Basically this, but it's not a bad gun. Better than the plasma repeaderp.Originally Posted by Pooky
Is there a Forunner Weapons video yet? I'm pretty sure that's the only thing anyone cares about out of all the weapons.
No it wasn't. The Repeater was useful. The Concussion Rifle did jack-shit except throw things around with obnoxious physics. And on single player, Elites would two-shot you with it while a whole magazine from yours wouldn't even take his shields down.
Worst. Gun. Ever. I'd go so far as to say that H2CE's gravity gun was more useful.
I don't think we were playing the same game then. Most of the time the concussion rifle got a lot of kills and the Plasma Repeater wasn't reliable enough. I know I played a lot of Invasion....BUT STILL!
Concussion rifle is great in MP, but an annoying PoS in SP. I'm surprised that 343i's including it in Halo 4. I expected the DMR would be the only Reach weapon in the game.
It would be nice if there was more consistency in the design of these weapons. The storm rifle looks like it should be a precision weapon. At a glance it could be mistaken for the carbine. If it's replacing the plasma rifle it should look the part, like the plasma repeater. Also, the new beam rifle shaped like the focus rifle.
I never played Invasion after the beta. I thought the game-type was broken then, and from most of what I hear it was never fixed.
In multiplayer, I had far better luck with the Needler or Grenade Launcher.
I pretty much always pick up the concussion rifle in non-vehicle maps, its perfect for fending off sword users as well as demolishing pretty much anyone coming after you at close range. I don't understand the frustration with it in MP, it was definitely a useful weapon in pretty much any mid to shortrange situation.
SP is another story xP
Im a little disappointed that they didn't redesign the Plasma Pistol, Needler, Fuel Rod, and Concussion Rifle, and instead just recolored the Reach assets :\

That Carbine looks awesome.
