Wes Stone501 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I love the idea and the function of the SAW, but I think that 343 could've picked a better name and look. Mainly the name and I think we all know why. Im excited to use it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skummgummigubbe Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 well maybe it's just a placeholder but i agree the name does not fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawn Wolf Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I wonder if one can scope with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 The look and name make it resemble too close to realism which has not been Halo. Yes realistsic weapons have been in the game, but only as far as sniper rifle, shotgun, etc. but all of them had their own Halo esque spin. The 'SAW' is just too realistic. It looks like the MG36 which is a light machine gun. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Biggles Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 The name reminds me of CoD The gun looks halo. Kind of stuck between this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMartin58 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 It's a futuristic Tommy Gun. They should call it Tom. hahahaha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the MG36 which is a light machine gun. That's because it IS an LMG. I think the name fits well. Seriously, Halo can have an SMG and AR, but not an LMG? Explain that one to me.

Nickman5030 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 a SAW is a real gun that is extreamly powerefull and i think it looks beast in halo 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoosterTeethFan Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 i didnt realize we can call guns SMG and AR but not SAW i like it what does a saw do it cuts things down it fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneakylilchief Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 i didnt realize we can call guns SMG and AR but not SAW i like it what does a saw do it cuts things down it fits. but also the saw in halo 4 stand for "squad automatic weapon" which is what it its, for me my feelings on the saw are somewhat bi-polar, i'll need to get my hands on it to tell for sure.

Immortal Reaver Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 That's because it IS an LMG. I think the name fits well. Seriously, Halo can have an SMG and AR, but not an LMG? Explain that one to me. That's not the same. It would be the same if the SAW was called a Light Machinegun. People are never happy. They say it's not realistic enough, now it's too realistic. Pro tip: There are other realistic weapons in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB77 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 It has that yellow line which we grew fond of in reach. I like the idea of the gun. But idk if i like the idea of a 70 round magazine. 40 would be ok. I want more info on damage rates and the gun's rate of fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth Pilot Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 I will definitely be using this gun if it is in the loadouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Stone501 Posted August 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 too realistic? so u wanted a cartoon gun? To a point yes, halo guns aren't supposed to be realistic only slightly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB77 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 To a point yes, halo guns aren't supposed to be realistic only slightly This gun looks fine to me. It is just new. Why should such a gun never be used again. Suppression fire is important and a gun that does that would look like a LMG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explain that one to me. You have a point but where do you draw the line? It's been crossed for me. This gun looks fine to me. It is just new. Why should such a gun never be used again. Suppression fire is important and a gun that does that would look like a LMG. I agree why not? But don't you think it would've evoled a little bit more than that? Maybe I am not liking the look and name because of how new it is. I guess I'll see when I play the game Nov 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimming Pools Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 You have a point but where do you draw the line? It's been crossed for me. I don't understand the difference. There are multiple SAW's in real life, just as there are many assault rifles, SMG's, shotguns, etc. I'm sure that any problems will be resolved after you've played H4 long enough to get used to the weapon's existence in the universe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SternuS Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Well, i'm playing B3 recently, and i like the suppression fire, it...it makes you feel powerful, lol! It's just the design that doesn't really suits me. I mean, we're talking about the 26th century, right? It should has more accessories, like a torch or a scope or something like that, you know?

SykoWolf Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Whats the downside of the SAW , i.e what makes it worse in certain situations? I "think" it would be range, but i would like other opinions. Other then that, i like it, it makes sense to have a weapon like this to have in Halo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mACca431 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Finally a Mid range power weapon i am really interested to see how this is going to effect combat in game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players will get used to it just like every new weapon in the halo games. Its a power weapon for a reason and it will find its place after a few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
