I know that the Battle Rifle, Covenant Carbine, and SMG are all new weapons for H2, but anybody else know about any other new weapons?

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

Energy Sword and possibly a Covenant Sniper Rifle.

Yes, OXM mentioned a sweet looking Covenant Sniper's Rifle that was originally going to be put into Halo 1, but wasn't because of lack of time.

If you read the books, they said it has a plasma effect similar to the Covenant ship that was a sniper in the battle of Reach when it was glassed. (It was the ship that took out most of the orbital MAC guns and turned the tide of the battle)

Actually, I don't think ANY of the Covenant ships really ahd a major part in taking out the Orbital guns... but one ship, as you said, did have a method much like Cortana's for focusing the plasma into thin, concentrated streams and cutting ships into pieces- that's probably what you're trying to express.

Why yes, it was. How cunning of you, to have read my mind like that? Tell me, read Frankie's mind and tell me about Halo 2's plot. Just kidding! Nice. I enjoy finding someone who knows what they're talking about.

Oh, don't forget the fuel rod cannon, a hand-held rocket-launcher with a homing rocket, and the almighty plasma sword. I also heard from a very reliable source (7th Column) that there will also be a new Covenant vehicle that is playable (besides the ghost, wrath, or banshee).

H2... when I first heard someone shorten Halo 2 into H2 in this forum, I thought for a second that they were talking about the Hummer. Blast those gas-guzzling, ugly behemoths!!!! Did you know the Governator himself (Arnold Schwartzenneger) owns 7 of them all in different unique colors? What a waste of moolah. I'd rather preorder 5 copies of Halo 2 and a plasma screen. Booyah!

One copy of Halo 2, One Xbox, One G5 for when the game is out for computers, rather than the Hummers.

Yeah, the new vehicle is intreguing- but I doubt that we'll see the Wraith as playable in Halo 2... it seems too hard to fly. If anything, it'll probably be an increase in the Covenant ground vehicles... to counter the Warthog. To add another brief sentence, the sketches for Halo 2 vehicles tilt towards some new ones, like the probably unpilotable Covenant transport vehicle.

It'd be interesting to see the Covenant equivalent of the Warthog. I wonder what kind of weapons it would use...

no it isn't its the battle rifle equivalent, the covie sniper (if it is included) is another gun entirely. and don't call people who are right retards!

There is no confirmation of the Covenant Sniper rifle, only the Covenant Carbine which is the Battle Rifle's equivalent. So technically it is only speculation, meaning he can't be right or wrong on its exsistence yet.

Yeh i've seen that covenant sniper but dude you say it is as powerful as the one that took out the orbital mac cannons like the blue beam that ripped through the pillar of autumn thats a bit over kill for a rifle.
