Microsoft has teamed up with 343 Industries to release a new Halo 4 multiplayer trailer that flaunts a little gameplay. The most significant revelation, however, revolves around the types of weapons gamers will love.

Audio effects for existing weapons, such as the DMR, pistol, rocket launcher and shotgun, are better in the latest incremental title from the franchise. New weapons include a sticky grenade launcher and a devastating “one shot, one kill” rail gun.

The trailer, at least for Halo series gamers, will definitely add more hype to its upcoming release, especially with two versions.

One comes with a dubstep (electronic dance music) soundtrack while the other is more silent and allows gamers to hear movements and noises from weapons.

With the update, several guns now look more enticing compared to others.

A good example is the mean-looking monster rail gun that wipes out targets with a single shot, while the sticky grenade thrower looks promising if you are into timing of explosions.

Halo 4 is set to arrive later this year.
