Pwnage-o-meter explodes with Halo 3’s Spartan Laser
Let us introduce you guys to Halo 3‘s “energy of pure pwnage” we’ve mentioned before: the Spartan Laser. One fact we do know is that it’s an anti-vehicle laser weapon. But what else of it? Bungie’s updated their news blog with rather vague information. Check out the tech specs for the Spartan Laser:
Weapon/Anti-Vehicle Model 6 Grindell/Galileian Nonlinear Rifle (W/AV M6 G/GNR)
Official designation: M6 G/GNR
Length (o/a): 98.8 cm (38.9 in.)
Length (barrel):
Weight (empty): 19.07 kg (42 lbs)
Weight (loaded): 20.4 kg (45 lbs)
Cartridge:
Max. effective range:
Muzzle velocity: 299792458 m/s (983 571 056 f/s)
Magazine capacity:
Rate of fire: semi-automatic only
Unit Replacement cost: cR. 218000.00
Ok hold on. Did the QJ site just break down with some HTML coding error? Nope. Those black “censorship” bars are meant to be there (highlighting the text doesn’t even reveal anything). That’s how it looks like in Bungie’s site, at least. They even continue blotting out other parts of their entry, even with a description that states: “The M6 G/GNR is a type laser.” Rawr. What the hell.
Although the specifics aren’t really given, it doesn’t take a Master (of chiefs, perhaps?) to get the whole picture if you read the entire clipping. Mostly though, we are still left with the clear knowledge that it’s one of the (if not THE most) crucial weapons to have when taking down a vehicle. No one’s stopping you from using it against other players though. Whether you’re on Valhalla or High Ground, this baby will definitely bring the pwnage-o-meter off the charts.
