Listen you all i have seen a thousand screens and viedos of halo 2 but none of them have the assult rifle, shotgun or pistol and bungie has not sai anything about them being in halo 2 or not either so im worried, these where the best wepons in halo 1 are they not going to make halo 2 i sure hope so! please let me know what you think or if u know or not.Thnaks for the info u all i have heard 2 completly different stories some say that ppl where using them in the e3 04 demo and some say they where replaced by the BR and smg which might be which is it and also is there anyway is ppl where using them at e3 04 i could see a screen of them?ok you all i think if they replaced the AR with smg thatwould suck cause a smg would be way less powerfull cause u can even duel weild em so it would haft to be power like cut in half,also i do think shotgun will be there and if u have seen a viedo of it tell me where to find it,but the battle rifle being replaced with the pistol sounds bad even though i do think it should be powered down we stilll need a good side arm.By the way ill be here all night up dating this so stay active.Also i do think they may very well be keeping theses weapons under guard so we are suprised when we see them for the first time in game.And also when did frankie say they where for sure replacing them?Lets get off the pistol talk shall we and back to the overall topic i still dont have a for sure answer..

shotgun is for sure...i've seen a video...but the other two remain to be seen...don't really need the other then anyway. Smg is like the assault rifle..and pistol is overpowered anyway...battle rifle should do the same job but balance it out a bit more

assalt rifle and the pistol will most likely be replaced by the battle rifle, and the shotgun will stay, even if it is a bit of a simplistic weapon...besides even if the pistol was the best gun it doesn't mean they should keep it; I am growing a tad tired of the endless pistol fights in multiplayer.

Of course they will be in Halo 2. There have been many articles and posts from people who have not only seen them, but have used them during the E3 2004 demos. Besides, what would Halo be without them?

Not to be harsh, but learn to type. Type correctly.

No, the Assault Rifle and the Pistol won't remain in Halo 2, at least in their Halo forms, not according the Frankie's updates. Bungie put the SMGs and the Battle Rifle in to replace the AR and Pistol. Learn, boy, learn.

It is likely that there will be some new type of a pistol, if you read the books. In First Strikes it mentions that a few of the Spartans (Fred and Will, I believe) are examining some new equipment that came to the CASTLE base. They both take what we know as "Battle Rifles" and a new type of pistol that was un named, it had a much larger barrel, and was probably a lot more powerful then a pistol though it didn't say anything about a scope. Kind of reminded me of a cougar magnum for some reason in the way they described it. Anyway, so they might include THAT pistol in Halo 2.

Bungie did state that all weapons would be in Halo 2... But they didn't mention how they would change (to suit the balancement issues)

I thought that the assault rifle would go but the pistol is supposed to be powered down and have a silencer added.Also the scope would be taken away. ( silencer optional ).

Where did you hear about it being powered down and having a scope attached? It can already zoom, they wouldn't need a scope on top of the pistol like... in Marathon...

They've being keeping that informationing very secretive, besides the information they have already revealed to the public. I believe Halo 2 will most likely include remade versions of weapons in Halo, with several others. Dont you people want some surprises when the game cmoes out? :)

simply put:

pistol = battle rifle

assult rifle = smg

battle rifle and smg from what i have seen in videos one up both of their predasessors. and i love it! the battle rifle kicks ass and makes more sense than a pistol. and hopefully is more balanced because the pistol was ridiculous. the shot gun will most like be in the gaem....damn well better be...and someone mentioned that they say a video where a shot gun was being used, i want to see this video. but back to on topic, i think the shot gun should be a slug shot rather than a spread. but then again there is that balancing issue. because a slug would mutilate anything infront of its barrel.

look at what i have said properly and then type what you think. I said that the scope/zoom would BE TAKEN AWAY.

Stop asking stupid questions people.
Shotgun is in many screenshots and if you listen to the interviews they say they cant say anything about the pistol.
IF BUNGIE CANT SAY ANYTHING HOW IN THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW!!!!

I think it'll be cool having a silencer, sneaking up on a gruntie and then popping him open without anyone ever knowing.

We speculate.

Thanks Cap. Obvious. I just skimmed the original post, so I didn't notice the part where you mentioned it being taken away. But I do think that the Battle Rifle will replace the pistol and the SMGs will take over for the AR.

But you have to admit it would be fun sneaking up on a gruntie, shooting out the lights and then sssst he falls to the floor and the elites don't come running. he he he.

True. It's annoying to have to either melee them in their sleep or from behind in order to kill quietly.

As we come to a conclusion, we have decided that we still want the pistol, but with a silencer, less power and no scope. Agreed.

We concur, yes, but that doesn't mean Bungie will be so nice as to listen to us and make last-minute changes.

Its really only shishka and stosh the moderators that are listening isn't it?? Bungie won't see our thread and change their minds. But who knows, they might already have put in what we want.
