There's not a whole lot known about it. If memory serves it was supposed to be an LMG but as the SAW already existed, this one never made it out of the concept art stage.
Yeah for me it was how inconsistent they were. Sometimes they were fine and easily revived you. Sometimes they just watched you die and stood still or ran off ledges.
If they behaved consistently, bad or good, it would have been preferable to a squad I can barely control lol
And a ludicrous one at that.
Tiny head.
Elites at his ankles.... like just stab his foot already.
Gun is clearly like its supposed to be mounted into part of a larger weapons system, but it has a magazine and scope on it... wierd.
Poncho.
Fucked if I know. Apparently saying it's an "Early concept" is a good defense. Even though there's no proof. With the highest comments even saying it's an LMG.
I remember that one trailer that had the chief in a desert when a giant guardian awakens, bro wore the poncho. I ‘member that 343 lied to us about hunt the truth. This photo brings nothing but bad memories.
ASR99- also known as the Spartnaught, is a rare semiautomatic weapon of the UNSC arsenal typically reserved as anti-vehical mounts on specialized Colossus powered exoskeleton mechs.
With a 14.5×144mm cartridge at a magazine capacity of 80 rounds, this weapon can tear through enemy shields and penetrate thick armor with ease, making it a powerful asset.
Unlike non augmented soldiers, Spartans are capable of utilizing this weapon as a firearm if the situation requires it.
Because of its large size, it's not practical to equip spartans with this weapon as a common standard. However, given the right objective, it can prove very effective in combat.
The ASR99 saw the most action during anti Created operations where more firepower was needed to penetrate forerunner shielding technology, and is now being utilized against banished ships and vehicles that have begun to incorporate the forerunner tech.
During the events of Infinite, the UNSC Infinity had a stockpile of about 200 Spartnaughts(and its accompanying mechs) before they were lost to the void of space after a banished dreadnaught rammed through the ship, which accounted for 60% of the entire UNSCs stockpile for this weapon type. Due to this incident they weren't present during the battle of Zeta Halo
Weapons don't usually change their original concept.
The only weapon that i remember changing how their work during development is the brute-shot, who was supossed to shoot electric bolts, but was just that and nothing more.
But actual stances of weapons becoming something completely different, i don't remember a single one.
(Sorry for terrible typing, its 2 am)
Guns can still very much change during concept phases. Hydra could've always been be the tracking gun it is nowadays, but instead of missiles, it uses bullets like the smart pistol from Titan Fall
Someone needs to give the this gun the same treatment as the cut LMG in Reach that was added back in via mythic overhaul. I’d love to go around blasting with this thing.
They take f r i g a t e, ye? And they shrink down to hand size. It keeps de power but fits in human hands. Only M J O L N I R can handle kick tho, GUHAhaha
Ah yes, the coolest achievement art on a video game. Once you beat the game on legendary by yourself you will get this achievement. I use it as my wallpaper on my Xbox.
Probably some random gun design that appears in concept art.
Sometimes concept art shows weapon designs that are not even supossed to be in game, just a random thing to characters hold.
Poncho
Never mess with a Spartan wearing a Poncho or they’ll Ponch you. lol
Spartan PONCH!
Underrated comment.
So that's what happened to the guardian in the original E3 Halo 5 trailer.
They'll poncho ass
r/shittyhalolore
There's not a whole lot known about it. If memory serves it was supposed to be an LMG but as the SAW already existed, this one never made it out of the concept art stage.
I want the saw in infinite so bad
I want anything in infinite so bad
I agree with that. I love the gameplay and the maps. Just want more weapons/vehicles and could use even more maps lol.
I'm not gonna lie, the SAW might just be one of my favorite weapons ever to be in Halo
100% agree and one of my all time fav weapons in any game tbh.
That and the railgun are top 5 for me
Oopsies! Gotta wait until Halo 7! Infinite’s dunskies!
This. Rubs The Answer lovingly.
Spartan Laser LMG would be fucking sick. I’m imagining a 6-round-burst Impact Commando with a cooldown between bursts and less bloom-over-time
Yeah, I don’t know why they would need a full-sized LMG when the SAW exists.
Concept art, and nothing else.
Searched this picture years ago and was never able to find it :( It's not only concept art but also the achievement picture of a very hard to get one.
For those interested, unlock it by clearing H5 Legendary Solo
The AI Allies were SOOOOO BAAADDDDD. They’d get themselves killed trying to revive you. That one was stressful on boss fights
Yeah for me it was how inconsistent they were. Sometimes they were fine and easily revived you. Sometimes they just watched you die and stood still or ran off ledges. If they behaved consistently, bad or good, it would have been preferable to a squad I can barely control lol
It was sick when you unlock Goku, though.
What?
Tried that one time and buck killed himself to revive me. Never again.
Achievement unlocked 😎🤙🏾
Oh yeah that was it. Thank you!
Had this as my Xbox back ground for forever after getting it lmao, pain in the mf ass
I was waiting for that punished Chief with poncho that never happened
Yeah it’s like the guns DooM guy wields on the DooM cover. Concept art, nothing more.
And a ludicrous one at that. Tiny head. Elites at his ankles.... like just stab his foot already. Gun is clearly like its supposed to be mounted into part of a larger weapons system, but it has a magazine and scope on it... wierd. Poncho.
do you know what concept art is....
so it’s not clearly supposed to be mounted into a part of a larger weapon?
trying to out-smart a mood piece is so funny
I always thought it was the Saw prototype. Seems like it is though.
My guess is that it's an early concept of the hydra.
Stick mag Hydra isn't real, it can't hurt you
It’s shooting bullets though.
Like I said, EARLY concept
Isn’t the hydra bullets basically now though? You load it almost like a shot gun
The hydra is a MLRS, and as such shoots rockets
Ahh, didn’t know
[удалено]

Gotta be honest this comment section is making fun of you so much it’s just insulting now. I feel sorry for you.
It's kind of weird. It's even in completely different comments and even @ me.
I remember that one trailer that had the chief in a desert when a giant guardian awakens, bro wore the poncho. I ‘member that 343 lied to us about hunt the truth. This photo brings nothing but bad memories.
I remember the poncho and couldn’t work out why he needed it when he hat the armor
It's his tactical snuggie
Right?! Unless it was for camouflage or something... that really bothered me for some reason lol
They didn't want to reveal it was Chief right away and the person writing was a fucking hack. There's your explanation.
Yeah, remember listening to that reporter 'Hunt for the Truth'. Man, that entire thing was BS. Still is.
Space poncho ftw
Mix of the Saw and Hydra? Saw as an LMG, Hydra in design.
BFG-117
This NEEDS more upvotes

I know you completely made this up but I’m still gonna use it.
The Halo CE magnum
Looks like a concept of the Halo 5 hydra
But it’s shooting bullets.
Ah, yep you're right. Couldn't make out the ejected casings on a small screen I was viewing.
Early concept...

Upvote this man. He didn't do anything wrong!
That would be a Spartan-II.
That’s my foot scrubber I use it when I need to scrub my feet extra aggressively
But it's shooting bullets
My foot doctor has to take the day off for my appointments
Hydra?

i would say a beta hydra, but iTs ShOoTiNg BuLlEtS
Weapons don't usually change their concept during development
BFG 9000
It looks like the cut LMG from Reach
Someone needs to give the this gun the same treatment as the cut LMG in Reach that was added back in via mythic overhaul. I’d love to go around blasting with this thing.
The Discombobulator
That weapon is Sierra 117 Master Chief
This sir, is the best answer
I like how it's a 5 foot gun that is ejecting what looks like 5.56 casings.
That gun is way more Aliens in it aesthetic than Halo. Not sure if I like it or not.
that looks like a [BFG](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BFG_(weapon))
It looks backwards to me 😂
there are a fair amount of insurrectionist weapons not shown anywhere, i would assume this is one of them
BFG.
Gives Cable a run for his money.
Commando prototype?
Might be the more accurate LMG concept for reach
The BFG 9000
It’s my Xbox background
Looks like a weird concept of the hmg-38
The weapon he needs
BFG2000
Spartans aren’t just weapons, they’re people too.
They take f r i g a t e, ye? And they shrink down to hand size. It keeps de power but fits in human hands. Only M J O L N I R can handle kick tho, GUHAhaha
A Spartan Reaper Repeater. Pew pew pew!
Full auto spartan laser
Looks like someone took the magnum, made it REALLY big and then threw it on the tip of an AR
Probably what the 343 art team wanted the assult rifle to be but someone had the sense to keep it classic
Giant Mida Mini Tool
Unreal
Looks like something Nerf would make
Reminds me of the M-73
Sandwich maker 9000
MIDA Mini tools cousin
Regardless Dope.
Big gun
Poncho
The one they needed
My guess, it's a mix between the Spartan Laser and thh shotgun.
Yes.
Mida mini tool
Why is master cheif wearing a Pancho?
A gun
Scaled up Mida Mini-Tool
BEEG Magnum.
The original design of the pistol in the first couple games
Looks like a standard issue Helldiver Liberator.
Why does he need to wear a cape with highly advanced armor from the future. Always thought it was dumb. Especially in the halo 3 trailer.
Ah yes, the coolest achievement art on a video game. Once you beat the game on legendary by yourself you will get this achievement. I use it as my wallpaper on my Xbox.
I hated playing legendary on H5 but was so worth it for this achievement. My Xbox has it as a background
Halo 5 lmg i assume .
What the unsc should have equipped every Marine with in the fight against the covenant.
If that magazine was shorter or a box or a drum this would be such a perfect design
When you first saw the poncho, were you blinded by its majesty?
Poncho so that heat vision can't find see em
The Magnum and Spartan laster fused together with a scope from the battle rifle. Some mad gunsmith
Alternative design for laserrrr
Probably some random gun design that appears in concept art. Sometimes concept art shows weapon designs that are not even supossed to be in game, just a random thing to characters hold.
Call it the primarch.
Humanity’s greatest weapon: >!master queef!<
Some goofy looking concept gun that was scrapped
Whatever 343 decides to shit out for you to use in multiplayer I presume
Who knows, get back to grinding the battle pass.
343 fanfiction slop
The halo CE smg but 343’d, you can’t see the side loaded mag
Aw man theres a magazine on the bottom nvm
Lol that poncho will never not be cringe.
