Halo 4

In the variety of things Halo 4 will be bringing with it, one will be an entirely new faction of high-tech weaponry. In this new video from Halo Waypoint, we get a look at the seven new weapons introduced in Halo 4 based on Promethean technology.

Here’s a brief rundown of the details of the weapons, along with two versions of the trailer: one featuring background music, and another sans-music so that you can better hear the sounds the guns make.
