In keeping with all the recent rampant speculation I am going to muse about a few things that I think will be in Halo 2, as well as some of the misinformed rants made by people wanting the game to be 'balanced' yet have no idea what that really means. First off the pistol. The pistol will probably be back in Halo 2 yet in a different form. People have complained that the power of the pistol is unrealistic, it is not. Look at the Desert Eagle, or simply look at the stats placed on it in the game manual, it is easy to make a pistol more powerful than an assault rifle, a Colt M1911 is stronger than an M16 A-2.
Another, the Covenant A.I will be pretty good, but it will not be nearly as godly and spectacular as you all think it will be. It will be beatable of course, probably a little more cunning than it currently is but that's about it. The Brute will be a very awsome and powerful enemy as well, the Brute was just a grunt with a different character sprite at E3 2003, for those of you who still do not know. There will probably be some sort of a health indicator, but probably not a health bar, who really knows though.
I will add more with the EDIT command as I think of them, muse in response if you will.
