I like the Needler Nerf gun, but if I get it it'll just sit around after I'm done shooting foam darts at family lol

If Halo Infinite launches in October that'd be pretty nice. I figure it'll launch alongside the SX/Lockhart and having consoles launch earlier than November sounds pretty good to me ^.^

Potential sneak peek as to what these two OG guns look like in Infinite perhaps?

On second thought, I doubt it. AR looks a bit too much like the Reach one, and I can't imagine them reusing such a design for something as rebooty in its art direction as Infinite.

As in-game skins too? Ugh ... ew. Gun skin microtransactions were a mistake.

Seems like the AR is going to be a new variant and not the traditional MA5D AR and the MA37 (Reach) that we've used in previous games.

First is the Halo MA40 Blaster, inspired by the weapon in the upcoming Halo Infinite.

Is this like Gears 5 then where everyone picks the Terminator or Sarah Conor totally destroying the immersion of the game?
I'd wish there would be options to turn this off. But I know that will never happen because people need to show of their ugly fancy skins.

If you can survive the pizza skin, you can survive the nerf guns.

Lol. Im down I guess, but im tilted they announced this before even showing gameplay. Guess merch announcements dont follow the same schedule as the games.

Following in the footsteps of Fortnite and Overwatch? Well, I guess if you're going to chase trends there aren't many more successful games than those to follow.

Pretty much. :/

Watch the Infinite enemy units/factions leak via toys like Halo 4.



Why? Are you seeing this as the start of marketing?

Could be. Halo 4 started doing stuff in March of it's release year (if not earlier, but this is as early as I remember):

Fortnite and overwatch didn't invent or start weapon skins. Halo 4 had them. This isn't also the first time there's been a crossover marketing deal with Halo.
You're trolling with this.

Just strikes me as very weird.

Apparently that dropped arround GDC and GDC 2020 is in about a month. 343i has a presence at 6 panels, but only 3-4 seem kinda relevant.

AR looks pretty good.

Glad they went with nerf if they want to be semi decent in use. I have a Halo pistol (boomco?) that is pretty trash as far as function. Painted up and it was passable for cosplay

Nobody said they did invent them. We are talking specifically about Nerf blasters, you know, the thing that's in the title of the thread? Assuming you read it.

Not at all unexpected, and completely harmless.

Hoping they drop the REQ packs system in favour of a Battlepass however.

Does an October release date for these make you wonder about the Series X and Infinite maybe coming in October rather than the Nov/Dec we're all kinda expecting?

It seems kinda weird to put out a product with a digital code for a game that you can't use right away, but that could just be me.

EDIT: Good job on me not closely reading the OP who literally speculates this

Looks great. Could this be the end of the Halo Infinite info drought. Surely questions will be answered about in game skins.
