These are my favourite of your redesigns yet, the Light Rifle and Binary Rifle in particular are gorgeous

Guilty Spark goes blue to red when he has lethal intent - it would of been cool if the guns were blue while walking in an area without enemies but once in a gunfight or enemies show on your motion sensor it would change to yellow/red

Fun fact there’s some concept art of Promethians themselves that’s much closer to Bungie era stuff out there

Another banger video, man

My big wish is to see your designs in full 3D. That would be incredible.

"The Covenant (and Flood) were mostly defeated" Jul Mdama and Atriox: Well yes, but actually no

I really like what you did with all of the redesigns, my only criticism is just how sharp and angular these designs are.

I feel that an important part of the prometheans is that they are different to the architecture, because for one they are built by different factions of forerunners but secondly our weapons don’t look like our architecture.

The light rifle redesign was definitely my favorite even though I wasn't expecting it to be since I loved the original design so much already. The redesign definitely feels like something that the forerunners would use, and it hit the perfect spot of adding new elements while keeping what made the original design look great

Thanks, your content is keeping me into Halo in what is essentially a content drought.

I like the suppressor design. In my opinion the 343 designs for the light rifle and scattershot are pretty good as is, maybe just need some simplification.

I think what’s throwing me off is how light they are. Good designs no doubt but I feel like the other designs looked more sinister with the darker color pallet. Maybe you disagree but that’s just my take. Great work!

In some ways, I like the idea of forerunner weapons being more human, as it's pretty clear that Bungie originally intended forerunners to be ancient humans before 343 totally retconned that. Though our only instance of a forerunner weapon previously was the sentinel beam which was pretty alien itself.

I'm curious on your take on Prometheans itself

For the Scattershot's ironsight you could've replaced it with a holographic sight, since that's actually make sense for it to be floating while still achieving the same desired look

You should redesign the Prometheans themselves next!

A bit of a nitpick, but I feel there's a reason some of their designs look a little human. It's because the Forerunners are a human adjacent race, they are the sister race to humans, they were made by the same creators, so it makes sense that they would also follow a more human design.

I love your designs usually, but I really gotta say that this time around, I'm not feeling these. While they kinda hit the mark aesthetically for being more faithful to the artstyle, one thing 343 did right imo was make them more sleek, where yours seem more sharp and jagged, something that I do not feel fits the forerunner aesthetic. While the architecture is full of abrupt angles, you don't get the feeling that you would cut yourself on a Beam Emitter tower, for instance. These, however, look very sharp. Just my input.

I love your videos of combining both old and new artsyles together.

If you looked into some of the bungie forerunner concept art you might have found more inspiration for the bungie era also are you gonna try redesigning the promethean Knights etc that would be awesome

honestly this is time i've preferred all the original designs. i actually really like the design of the promethean weapons and i think they would fit pretty well into the bungie games with just a few small changes.

The Forerunners were complex in their simplicity. One would look at structures knowing that despite their polygonal design and flat pallate, they represented a technology god-like next to even the Covenant's. To our human minds, these structures should not function; components seem to be missing, and yet they work like magic. That made them mysterious, monolithic, and terryfying, and 343 made them too familiar.

Can you design bungie exclusive weapons in a 343i design? That would be a interesting video.

I have loved every single one of your designs but I just can’t force myself to like the Suppressor or Light Rifle here, I think its the textures. They look too bricky/building like. I know you were using their structures as a base but our building don’t look like AK’s or AR’s they look like weapons. The forerunners are also humanoid.

These are beautiful... hope 343 takes inspiration from your designs if they bring the Promethean weapons back in Halo Infinite! Really wish you included the Incineration Cannon and Boltshot, though... then this video would feel more complete.

Can't say I'm a big fan of these personally I quite like the originals but still super cool to see your takes on stuff. Good vid.

IMO, the first two were great, the binary rifle I feel like should've been a lot thinner at the barrel.

Hello those who missed the premiere

I liked your redesigns and I feel like they perfectly encapsulate what you were going for, however I feel like they don't really fit the Promethean aesthetic, rather the (bungie) Forerunner one. The Promethean weapons don't have a "standard" configuration, they adapt to whomever is holding the rifle (for example, when knights hold the scattershot, the grip is removed; and when crawlers hold the suppressor, the weapon is totally incorporated into their heads) and is the reason why both the floaty bits and the familiar shapes make sense, though you could argue against the latter in favour of variety (I too am not a fan of the light rifle's design).

Damn I wasn’t sure exactly HOW you were gonna do it, considering our only real in-game taste of forerunner weaponry was the sentinel beam: but each time I saw one I was like “yeah that’s forerunner alright”. Your ability to design within the understanding of halo is mind-blowing

I can't wait to see the Wernissage redesign mod. I'm totally gonna rock those armors.

Even if you didn't include the incineration cannon or the turret we truly are satisfied. Through the video I watched all the designs and they made me think "wow that looks so unnatural and weird" and that's exactly what they are supposed to be. You created a feeling those weapons never actually gave before. That improvement is an artistic kind of talent

This makes me want Prometheans in Halo Infinite. I feel like if they were redesigned with your style they would fit perfectly.

The only problem i have with your ideas abut remaking forerunner weapon, is when you say it doesnt look alien enough and to human. Forerunners are humanoids like humans so their weapons are supposed to look a little bit like ours. Each covenant weapons were made by different species by different armories etc.

A lot of these look like they'd be very awkward to hold as a result of making the grip more "alien." Even for a Forerunner.

What if we got the MK4 Mjolnir armor in Halo 3 for a Halo wars MCC update!

Already excited and it's not even anounced yet

I hope to see more especially more of the the 4/Online/5 Helmets. You're great at this!

Wow bro you just keep putting out bangers, keep up the great work! 💯🔥

Still waiting for a Halo game where you are the Covenant, and the UNSC is your enemy.

You are extremely underrated and you deserve more recognition

Absolute banger of a episode, love it.

This channel just came totally out of nowhere and NAILED it. Great work! I'm addicted already

Love these videos from you!

To me, I know this is a hot take but I'm not much of fan of the redesigns, while the new light rifle is what you can say my favorite design, something about me that feels like the redesigns are a bit too blocky, I don't know, maybe it's just me

These are excellent, you've stripped the oversaturaturated look of the weapons making them look more celestial, ancient and advanced. Good job fam. Try to contact 343 if possible you'd be an asset to them.

Now with all the weapons done, moving to other things would be a good idea, like redesigning vehicles or even more armors.

Those are amazing! Good job werni

These are way more understated and feel authentically halo, amazing work

If I don't see a promethean mac-10 in going to be extremely disappointed. Edit: I was not disappointed.

I was gonna do something like this but I guess you’ve done the hard work for me, lol. Great stuff as always

Your most daring and brilliant video yet.

I prefer the Human-like grips. Alien or not, the Forerunners who originally used Promethean weapons had hands similar to a Human. Naturally the grips would be similar when the hands that use the grips were similar.

I absolutely LOVE the Binary Rifle design ❤

So if i remember there is a lore reason for why forerunner tech isn't entirely uniform and that is simply many of their installations and weapons/sentinels were built at different points in the forerunners history, the stuff in the 343 games were from not long before their downfall while the halo rings are significantly older than even their shield worlds. It makes sense that things would look different across their eras when it comes to such a long lived empire

Loved these. Such good designs.

I gotta take dumb driving class rn, this is exactly what I needed today

Can't say I exactly like your redesigns in this video Don't worry. I won't start insulting you or anything. I know that most things can't satisfy everyone I just can't get myself to like the "overly simplistic" designs. While part of it might be cause of your designs being 2D in nature, I generally disliked the blocky-ness I liked your attempt at distinguishing the Binary rifle however. Maybe a bit more leaning towards the original design would be nice. But it's just me The Lightrifle and Scattershot's redesigns, however, don't sit well with me I do wish 343 had done a bit more to make the designs more "alien", but I still prefer the original ones I appreciate your effort tho. And, once again, I'm just sharing my opinion. Not looking to pick a fight PS: I was really hoping that you'd talk about changing some of their functionalities as people complain about them being too similar to human weapons

Amazing work once again! I especially loved the suppressor design as it added a bit of needed bulk to the silhouette. One critique though is that the new models seem a tad flat, maybe try doing studies on lighting on angled surfaces or draw the weapon at different angles? All in all though keep up the great work!

You really knocked it outta the park with this one werni, gotta hand it too you, you're great!.

Great work, my only criticism would be that the video is quite slow. Nevertheless very enjoyable gg

I really want a covenant redesign video

Can't wait to see what you've got in-store for the future. We will watch your Career with great interest

I love these! The Binary Rifle and Scattershot are especially well done!

These look great, but I think you may have taken the inspiration from the architecture a bit too far, especially with the Binary Rifle. They look less like guns and more like Forerunner buildings.

people can talk crap about halo 4 and 5 but they cant deny that their music is pretty hype

I was WAITING for this! FOR SO LONG! JUST FOR ANOTHER VIDEO IN GENERAL for some reason, even though I have post notifications, I don’t get notified. Anyways, great video, as always. Cant wait for more, btw u r a genius with these videos. My favorite was........ EVERY SINGLE ONE!

these are incredible dude, id love to see you bring Fireteam Osirus into the classic artstyle or Gen 3 Mjolnir

I don't care much at all for these redesigns, which is contrasting to the rest of your videos. I don't think it's appropriate to use the design of architecture for the design of small arms. This may be the case for the covenant, but it works there because smooth lines are ergonomic and look like they could be wielded by organic beings. I actually kind of like 343s direction here.

I’m ready! How ‘bout you!

Love the redesign of the scatter shot since I'm sort of a fan of that promethean weapon only. I like how you sort of kept the round lights in front of the gun and made it a bit simpler.

I love the very stone-like material texture on your redesigns, definitely feels more like forerunner tech

holy shit 🥶

Redesign the Promethean is next

I dig these designs, dude! I've been waiting to see more takes on these weapons for awhile now. I do like that you changed the human like grips, definitely a lot more alien this way. However, one thing that I thought would be neat is if ther Promethean weapons were more like the Sentinel Beam, as in being physically attached and would break off when the Promethean is defeated - There wouldn't be handles or grips designed to be held, so just like the sentinel beam, it would be scavenged and the user would kind of hold the weapon awkwardly. That would definitely be an interesting and unique way to design forerunner weapons. Keep up the good work my guy, I hope so see more redesigns soon!

That Binary Rifle is downright gorgeous. Please do keep it up!

My only gripe is your redesigns look very 2d, I think angles making it slimmer at the top and bottom for all of these would be great

Someone needs to mod these models into halo 4 and 5.

Keep em coming!

Such an underrated creator. Keep up the good work man!

Tbh think they look to basic, the light rifles hole at the end is way too big and the beam rifle looks more like a Canon then a sniper. Now from a lore point of view the Promethean weapons look different to the sentinel beam and other Forerunner weapons that have been seen before because they were designed by the didactic for his army against the flood and maybe the librarian designed the sentinels and general design of the halo and ark designs

All in all these are good designs, but I feel that you missed that these aren’t forerunner weapons, they are promethian weapons. Promethians are mainly converted humans, so the grips being human makes sense. That’s really the only issue I have, the rest of the designs are spot on with bungies smooth forerunner aesthetic

May I suggest, you show us how you got to point A to point B like: what you drew as a basis, how your textures etc etc Love the content, keep it up

Really digging the redesigns, can't wait to see more.

I have watched all of these videos back to back and I have some criticism on these redesigned looks. I like that you are attempting something like this let's start there. But I can't help but notice the overwhelming use of boxing or hard edging in all of your redesigned looks. I mean yes you say you like the old and vintage look of halo, but halo was on old generation consoles. This definitely impacted how things looked but we are in the process of moving into a more complex environment of consoles, so they'll finally have the look closer to the identity those designs elements envisioned by the creator of the series. Not sure if they want their evolved beings to look so archaic with hard edges and flat non state of the art aspects like the floating parts of the reassembling weapons. Which function as they do in Spartan and non promeathan hands because they are fully integrated into their armor like proto knights and even the crawlers. So they have the behavior of normal functioning weapons also for game play reason but that's a different thing altogether. All this to say that these designs seem to ignore the overall purpose they made to serve in universe. So while they may look interesting they are still in my opinion completely missing the mark of future tense halo universe designs.

I love so much your ideas, and i like this new designs but... why this weapons look a little bit... "flat" ? 😯

For me the biggest problem is mechanically they act just like UNSC weapons. This was one of my issue with the covenant weapons in H2 and H3. UNSC weapons were Ammo and Clips while Covenant were Battery and Heat. But then more Covenant weapons became Ammo and Clip mechanics which was sensible (especially for the Brute Weapons) and UNSC only got one weapon that was Battery and Heat also sensible for an experimental weapon and after more exposure to covenant and forerunner tech. For a mechanical solution I think having all Promethean weapons use the same ammo would be an interesting start. It makes more sense of hardlight ammo as it could take any shape with the ammo fitting the weapon. Also could create an Ammo ability that refills weapon so you don't blow through it all with an incinerator only to have nothing left for your suppressor.

These are absolutely perfect 👌

Personally I like the original designs more. Not to say your designs are bad. For me I can see merit to changing the stocks and grips to be more alianistic as you have, as well as changing up the designs to follow some of Bungies Forerunner designs. I think a solid middle ground would be good, keeping 343s base design but more subtly adapting your alterations to their silhouette, to me, would be the most ideal.

Honestly, these are better, but I still don't like the overall ideas behind the weapons. They are literally "the forerunner battle rifle", "the forerunner shotgun", or "the forerunner sniper". They were very lazy in their design. Redesigning Prometheans when?

Dude, you definitely have a future in art design! These and all your other videos are (in my opinion), better than most of the actual designs 343 puts out!

The light rifle looks magnificent. Nice work

Hmm...I've seen a few of your videos by now and most of the time, even in designs I disagree with I can see the merit in the why and how, with weapons or armour having a more hybrid style between the classic and the modern and trying to employ both. Here though I...I'm sorry but the designs presented are honestly not in keeping with the Forerunner design at all. Like, for example, enemies like the Sentinels and their beam weapons while simple have complexity to them, they appear as high tech as they are practical but...well...with the designs presented you've kind of just taken the outline of each weapon and made them blocky and...almost too simple. Forerunner tech, even in their structures while appearing simple on the outside always had complexity under the hood, they in their own way had smooth angles, complex constructs. They did not build bricks. So while I appreciate the effort and accept that yeah this is a hobby for you (Because KZfaq likes to make it impossible to go full time on it) this one unfortunately are my least liked out of the designs you've presented. They simply make me appreciate the 343 designs more, how while yes they have a few more floating parts than Bungie's forerunner weapons, they indeed have simple, strong designs. Methinks the issue may more be lined up towards the designs of the Knights, the Soldiers, the enemies that hold these weapons, because in the hands of a Spartan they fit like a glove.

Sorry, prometheans weapons designs in Halo 5 are so badass that they don't need redesigns

I feel like looking at the Sentinel Beam could’ve helped a little, considering it’s the only Forerunner weapon in Bungie’s Halo. Honestly, I’m not sure I’m feeling these ones, but to be fair there’s not many Forerunner weaponry to compare to, so you did a fine job with what you had. Keep up the good work Chief.

I couldn't imagine a spartan holding one of these redesigns, but I have to say that the 45) angles really make them look like the "modular" designs the originals were going for.

Look man I really like your videos but I really did not like these designs, this is only my opinion but I just didn’t like them, but hey good job tho, keep up the good work

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I actually don’t like these redesigns. They don’t really say Forerunner to me. They don’t even look like they belong in Halo. Sure you can say the same thing about the original designs, and the Prometheans in general, but 343 at least picked an aesthetic for them and stuck with it unlike Bungie did for each of their games.

These are some beautiful weapons man

you did what bungie would be proud to do. Awesome Job!!! The weapons are more like really from another world.
