New screenshots show Halo 4 weapons in Halo 5
Six screenshots of a post-beta version of Halo 5 multiplayer have been leaked and they appear to include weapons from Halo 4. The Promethean Incineration Cannon and Boltshot weapons are reappearing, to name a few.However, both have supposedly had alterations made to them. The former is now battery based rather than ammo based and uses a charge shot whilst the latter now fires two homing shots, meaning that it can no longer be used as a mini shotgun. A game tester has also revealed the following observations:

However, both have supposedly had alterations made to them. The former is now battery based rather than ammo based and uses a charge shot whilst the latter now fires two homing shots, meaning that it can no longer be used as a mini shotgun. A game tester has also revealed the following observations:
- Incineration Cannon is back and has changed compared to Halo 4. players can charge up a shot and the longer you charge, the more powerful it is. Battery based rather than ammo based.
- Railgun is back from Halo 4 and works almost identically – could hold up to 11 shots
- Overshield was present had some weird screen effect when you picked it up – looked like a bug
- Boltshot is back but doesn’t work like halo 4 – no shotgun fire mode. fires two shots at once and sort of tracks players
- Suppressor is back and fires a lot slower
- Blue outline on weapons was in the build
- Killcams were disabled in the build, could spectate players while you were dead
- BR spread was near-gone – fired so fast
- Spartan chatter was reduced hugely, less pointless callouts
- Spartan bro moments cut down. game ending segment is just your spartans walking towards the screen, no more highfives and shit
- Killfeed modified to be like this: “PLAYER NAME” “WEAPON KILLED WITH” “PLAYER NAME”
- Pistol RoF is modified to be slower but is a lot more powerful – competes with AR and BR
- Ground pound is harder to use, radius is tiny
- Overshield was bugged, my shields said i constantly had it even after death
