Previously we reported how we’d found a complete list of Halo 3 vehicles within the Halo 3 beta. Well, we’ve done it again, only this time with weapons.
Remember, this isn’t final, there could be more, there could be less. But it more than makes for interesting reading and gives a good insight as to what to exepct from the final game.
Weapons found so far:
Assault Rifle
Battle Rifle
Beam Rifle
Brute Shot
Carbine
Excavator
Gravity Hammer
Flamethrower
Magnum
Missile Launcher
Needler
Plasma Pistol
Plasma Rifle
Fuel Rod Cannon
Rocket Launcher
Shotgun
SMG
Sniper Rifle
Spartan Laser
Spiker
Sword
So the flamethrower returns, finally making it into a console version of Halo and the Fuel Rod Cannon too, pops up again after it’s brief stint in Halo 2’s single player campaign.
Most interesting though are the mentions of all new weapons, the Excavator and Gravity Hammer. Most likely of Brute origin given their larger involvement in the story this time around. We’ve actually seen the Gravity Hammer before, several times. Remember Tarturus wielding the ‘Fist of Rukt’ at the end of Halo 2 and the Bungie released documentary ‘Et Tu, Brute?’ also featured several Brutes swinging their own personalhammers in fits of rage.
But what will it do? Will it simply be a massive hulking hammer to batter people round the head? Or, as the name suggests, will it have special gravitational abilities as used by Tarturus and similar to that of say Half Life’s grav gun? Who knows, but the idea of a 7ft Spartan killing machine running around smacking foes through walls with an oversized hammer gets me all gooey.
As for the Excavator? Well… that just sounds nasty.

Just because the Gravity Hammer is in the game, doesn’t mean that it’ll be in multiplayer. The Gravity Hammer was in Halo 2 as well, but it was only in Single Player. It was in the TAGS! It wasn’t accesible to players.
Comment by Josh May 20, 2007 @ 4:56 amThe magnum? Not the pistol? And what the hell is a flamethrower doing in Halo? Get that crap out of here
Comment by A7X Eric May 20, 2007 @ 10:40 pmI can’t think of one person who enjoyed the pistol more than the magnum.
Comment by jy May 20, 2007 @ 11:58 pmi remember seeing some concept art of the chief holding a flame thrower in the early developement days of halo 2… i was hoping for a flame thrower. i enjoyed the pistol more than the magnum, to be honest the magnum was pretty crappy but i suppose maybe the pistol was too powerful
Comment by AJphoenix91 May 21, 2007 @ 9:17 amthe flamethrower is from the pc version of halo:ce … which was actually what halo was first planned for.
Comment by joe May 21, 2007 @ 9:30 amum, hey jj, you couldn’t be more wrong.
Comment by diacu May 22, 2007 @ 2:46 amthe magnum was useless, the trident was amazing. the trident was a short to mid range weapon whereas the magnum was small and shit like the smg.
I think EVERYONE liked the pistol better than the magnum. Heck, I think everyone liked the pistol better than EVEY wapon in halo 1. Also, the flamethrower is certainly not new. It was in the PC version of Halo. However, it was kindof lame, so I hope they make it more interesting in H3
Comment by Oreo May 22, 2007 @ 7:15 pmIts the pistol as well as the magnum, I think you should make it more clearer. And if all this is true, I just can’t imagine what the maps will be like!
Comment by LostprophetVII May 27, 2007 @ 11:52 pmwow… you guys can’t tell the difference between halo 1 screen shot and the new halo 3…
the flame thrower is from halo 1, look at the health bar.
Comment by xgc pr0ph37 May 28, 2007 @ 4:12 amTo the above…lol, it’s a pic showing what the flamethrower from Halo Ce yes, but it is there so people can see what the H3 Flamethrower might resemble.
Comment by BrokenWing May 28, 2007 @ 4:26 pmWtf…that screenie of the flamethrower is from halo pc..
Comment by ddd June 12, 2007 @ 10:45 pmno way buddy ( sarcastic voice ) look at the post abovee you
Comment by Orion255 June 18, 2007 @ 4:53 amA gravity hammer is pointless because there would be no ammo (unless there is some kind of gravity power) so it would never run out. It would still be fun to crush peopel though hehe
Comment by Grunt-Master June 20, 2007 @ 11:59 pmFrom what the et tu brute vid showed it looks like when you hit somthing it gives out a gravity puls, maybe it has slpash damage or something. even if it has infinte amo its not like it will have a lung like the h2 sward.
Comment by N Fox June 22, 2007 @ 12:43 amwow dats quite a few nice weapons
Comment by {NR}Seal June 27, 2007 @ 1:16 pmwhat is that one gun in the top picture?
Comment by kg July 11, 2007 @ 1:49 amnever mind.
Comment by kg July 11, 2007 @ 1:55 amyou know, the flamethrower tags could have been there just for fire effect and they named it flame thrower just cause. the gravity hammer will be in halo 3, they saw a spartan carrying one at the E3 demo and another on a spartan’s back. the scarab was used for excavation before the war or something, so maybe the excavator has to do with scarabs, possibly a hidden scarab gun?

Comment by distinguish September 13, 2007 @ 11:52 pmWHY do are random people showing up and commenting on fairly old articles?
Maybe just because H3’s getting close people are Google-ing it or something… how are they even finding this place?
Seriously guys, if it’s old hat let’s get off the topic.
Comment by K-Bizzle the Dizzle September 14, 2007 @ 4:54 am“WHY do are.” Geez, I should read what I write before I post it.

Comment by Ihop September 16, 2007 @ 4:02 amwow retardsthe flamethrower was inthehalo for the pc and the pistolis going proballyto less powerful than in halo
Comment by bob September 17, 2007 @ 3:58 amEVeryone here is is A F***** MORON EVERY HERE IS GOING YOUR SO STUPID THATS A HALO PC SCREEN OR YOUR RETARDED THERE ISN’T GOING TO BE OTHER ALIENS YOU CAN BE IN HALO 3 BUT THERE CAN MAYBE EVERY THINGS A MAYBE!!!!!!!!!!!! I THINK I MADE MY POINT!!
Comment by Master Tricks September 17, 2007 @ 3:41 pmThe Gravity Hammer showed up in one of Bungie’s newest videos on http://www.gameinvasion.comcast.net. Ditto the flamethrower. The gravity hammer can stop a Warthog at full speed or hit a rocket out of the air… assuming you can time your swing correctly. The video only showed about 5 seconds of footage from the flamethrower, but it was in a multiplayer game (obviously played at Bungie, because the Hammer and the flamethrower aren’t in the Beta).
Comment by MD September 23, 2007 @ 3:45 pmBut, speculation is pointless now because the game comes out in 2 days…
Oops, nonworking link. The site is http://gameinvasion.comcast.net
Comment by MD September 23, 2007 @ 3:47 pm1 day 5hrs 3min and 32 sec
Comment by Ethan September 23, 2007 @ 11:56 pmwhat about the mauler? did someone forget?
Comment by dion September 24, 2007 @ 9:37 pmOld News and not nearly as kick ass as the flamethrower.
Comment by Lupus September 25, 2007 @ 12:53 amthe pistol could zoom 2x making it the best weapon possible to cap whoever with 2 shots
Comment by GreyWolf September 25, 2007 @ 3:20 amWhat is the excavator weapon?

Comment by XXentiel September 26, 2007 @ 3:50 amoh and piece of advice, if u see someone with a spartan laser… HIDE URE ASS OR U WILL BE DED, U HEAR ME, D-E-D DED!!! ^-^
Comment by XXentiel September 26, 2007 @ 3:51 amfuck u, there´s no flame thrower or such a thing as an excavator, there is however a weapon thas does not appear in the manual and is something like a revolver, but made by brutes, and by the way, it is a fuking image from halo:ce pc version
