I seriously think so. I know most of you will probably think I'm just feeding off the hype of Halo 3 and will find it hard to believe me, that's ok, you're entitled to your opinion. Simply feel free to disagree.Anyway, back to my reasons:Negatives: It's a melee weapon but it's also two handed so you can't use grenades.Only weapon in the game that denies all ranged attack abilities, even grenades.Positives:It's very powerful.It looks awesome.It has a 'lunge' attack, similar to the Plasma Sword.(not as far or quick as sword lunge)It does area-effect damage on impact, allowing you to severely damage vehicles, stop some uncoming vehicles in their tracks or possibly send multiple groud troops flying with one swing.:twisted:It has the ability to reflect incoming grenades, possibly back towards their messenger.:twisted:It may have a 'projectile pulse attack', similar to the one Tartarus used to push the Arbiter into the pit during the end cutscene of Halo 2s 'Quarantine Zone' level. (Remember, it's two handed so the left trigger, normally used for grenades, may be this pulse attack)The weapon and some of it's abilities has already been confirmed by Bungie, most of this will also be confirmed in the new EGM. let's just say...trust me;) NOTE - The 'projectile pulse attack is all theory on my part but I have reason to think it's very likely.Halo 3 Gravity Hammer concept art provided by OldParr:D (thanks)Discuss.
