That fuel-rod in the leaked footage was never meant to be in the game. It was just a carry-over from Halo 5, one of many. Considering how Infinite's supposedly kept running by a skeleton crew, odds are they likely don't have the resources to either reanimate that fuel-rod (which would be required as apparently all the Halo 5 weapons in the files had some variety of issues with certain animations) nor to update the model into the Infinite artstyle (because there's no way they'd use a completely unmodified Halo 5 asset for Infinite)... and that's not even considering any Microsoft-Xbox contractual nonsense that may prevent them from reusing that asset entirely. Hence why the fuel-rod coming to the game is the fuel-rod's functionality and mechanics applied onto a modified SPNKr model, as the SPNKr already has all the animation work on both the PC and AI sides complete and wrapped up and modifying a model made for the game is probably way less work than completely updating one from a previous game. Still unfortunate, regardless, though. You can really tell the days of Halo being Xbox's flagship series are well and truly a thing of the past. 'Least the mutilator shotgun has been officially confirmed to be coming now, and that _does_ have a completely custom model and animations for it.
Dude cmon we can’t keep giving them the excuse of being “understaffed” there’s been no meaningful content in this game since forge they let everyone else build maps for them cause they’re lazy they are a several million dollar company owned by a billion dollar company stop making excuses for their shitty work effort. If you wanna blame Microsoft more than 343 at this point that’s fair but what happened at the beginning of the game there’s no excuse for the lack of content after launch that is on 343 100% all they add is armor cores that aren’t cross compatible and awful armor coatings instead of just letting us pick out the colors we want from a palette like we’ve been able to do since 2001.
@@lionsfan3581Halo infinite IS understaffed. Not only were there multiple layoffs, 343 (technically halo studios now) is working on several new halo projects at once. 343 has never been known for having very sustainable business practices and this is no exception.
I wonder if they are abondoning anything that 343i had already created. I think they are just putting band-aids on bullets wounds. I think their whole focus is on the new Halo game.
@@allthingshalo9388allegedly their whole focus was on halo infinite and this game would be the platform for halo for the next decade we see how that turned out it’s time for halo to go to another new company creative assembly would be great.
I would like to see for every big update we see thst they take the weapon models from the shop and make them into new weapons. They can do the same for the vehicle models. It's quicker and easier for the devs
no... that isn't all that matters. its garbage that they charge like 10-20 dollars a skin and can't manage a working gun not derived from an existing one. they are awful. tell me why the got rid of the 50 tier pass then tell me why they are adding it back, then tell me the answers don't conflict. this terrible company has not changed at all. this is 343's grave but Halo is welcome in it if it stays connected at the hip. meanwhile the assault game mode is just reverse capture the flag with an explosion... what took a century?
Honestly, I don't know what 343 worth thinking with the fear rod.God, I mean, I love that weapon.It's one of my favorites in reach hello two and three and 4 5 is well okay with it? But I was really hoping it would be the actual model infinite, not a rock and launches model like. I don't know why they wouldn't just put the actual model in the game. What's next? Are you gonna put the Spiker? As a pistol mono or are you gonna turn the brute shot into a Hydra? Honestly, I am really scared for what infinite will do to our classic. Weapons and honestly, I have mixed feelings with this. Honestly, I mean, what do you guys think? Do you guys prefer the original fuel rod? Or the rocket launcher, let me know
You do realize 343 is still in charge right? So that will never happen in infinite they can’t even build their own maps and you think they might add a whole new race? I don’t think playable elites have ever came back in any 343 game other than H2 remake MP.

They should of went with the OG like the leaked footage we've been seeing. Instead, we have a confusing wannabe render.

It looks like a destiny weapon
That's what I immediately thought when I first saw this abomination.
The fuel rod spnkr is such BS it's so stupid when it's IDENTICAL to a normal fuel rod.
I agree, it’s lazy
@@davidarango8208yet exactly what we’ve come to expect from 343. Pathetic dev company.
So its just the unsc's version of the fuel rod gun
It is the banished taking a human launcher and modifying it to use the fuel rod ammo.

Waiting on that mega constux vid😂
It's in the works, mate! 😂
WHAT IF; they used that new model for the fuel rod, WHILE putting the Covie/Banished skin in the shop, so a lot of people would buy?
You already know they will lol it’s 343 think about what decision would be the worst one for the consumer and you already know they’re doing it
I’m not buying shit from them other than a new game that won’t be cooked from birth
no... that isn't all that matters.

HELLCAT IS RETURNING!!!!!
yes more long form I love to see it
Thanks for the support, mate!
Why not just layer over the Fuel Rod Cannon in the Files over a Modified Rocket Launcher.
you what just call it "variants" of S.N.P.K.R
I’m still heavily praying that we eventually will get playable elites. I’m on copious amounts of hopeium, but I still pray.
Exactly
