another weapon maybe?

Except it has to be a weapon from the Original Halo and be dual weildable. The only weapons we have not seen yet are the pistol and assault rifle, and only the pistol is dual wieldable.


And the Assault Rifle is officially out, it has been replaced by the Battle Rifle.

If the pistol is dual wield, it stands to reason it's going to be weakened. I mean, does it make any sense whatsoever that the pistol from Halo 1 (assuming it's carried over, which would incite a riot were it not...) would just be thrown into the new game unchanged, and on top of that be available for dual wield?

If you thought people complained about the pistol before, you can imagine the uproar if it went and got doubled in strength.

Granted, they could just reduce the accuracy and make it all a moot point.

Luke Timmins has voice communication working in game for real, and has done some very neat stuff with player commands and team voice stuff.

Maybe instead of communication it is Voice Recognition for possibly commanding marines.

"I also animated the first-person shotgun (both single and dual shot [or barreled]), so that should be in the game and working now…it looks pretty cool, but it’s definitely a lot weaker than the fuel rod and it has a fster rate of fire now, so people are probably going to hate the shotgun and love the pistol. Oh well, all’s fair in the cruel world of gameplay balance."
