Ok, so after watching the gameplay preview, I saw a weapon disappear. The new covie rifle, if I'm correct. At 6:33-36, MC beats up a Brute. When the brute dies, it drops its weapon and it vanishes. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT!!!???

They didnt want them to use that weapon probably. And it was just a demo, not the finished product.

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

Bungie probably just doesn't want to give away any secrets of what weapons we'll get to use in Halo 2. Besides, it was a demo of the game in early stages, so maybe its changed.

They probably didn't set it to stay on the ground after the user dies.

Well, the Brute landed on a slant, so maybe the gun fell under MC's feet.

Well, I'd agree with you on this, but other weapons stay on the ground. Scan through when MC kills some grunts and jackals. Pause and look around. Plasma pistols, grenades, etc. stay, but this weapon disappeared. And, if they didn't want him to use it, they just didn't have to have him pick it up. I just hope they don't take that rifle out of use. Hopefully it doesn't have a failsafe where it vaporizes when it falls out of someone's grip.

SB-117

Perhaps it bounced to the left? It may have done... thus making it fall off screen

Parts of the E3 2003 demo were scripted and fixed. Such as how some Brutes would not move when under fire and how the Ghost flips of the Warthog.
