Do you think there will be other weapons besides what we've seen? Ex: carbine, rocket launcher, battle riffle, smg?

Well there is 2 other weapons -
Brutes gun (not called slug launcher) and the new pistol (i think) that Frankie was talking about.
There probably will be more (maybe)

Um, yeah they probably have tons of weapons already......they just don't want to spoil the suprise and I can't blame them.

Yea I think they are pretty much done the game now. Most likely they're just tweaking the little details like sprinting and health bars, etc.

Halo needs a heavy support weapon like an M249 or an M60. A highly rate of fire, large bore rifle to keep people's heads down.

There's already the rocket launcher (which I call the n00b cannon), we don't need more cheap guns.

I'm thinking of a squad support weapon, not a gung ho up close and personal mini-gun.

Take this for example, almost completely useless as a close quarters weapon:

The M24-B Reaver Chain Gun: A Heavy Support Weapon which Halo lacks. Large caliber rounds, insane firing rate and long range. Drawbacks. Takes a full second to cycle up to speed in order to fire. While firing, limited to walking speed only as the gun bucks in your arms and you have to fight to keep the reticle on your target. Due to its complete lack of accuracy it is normally held as best as possible in the general direction of your enemy.

This weapon, normally mounted in fixed positions can be held aloft by a Spartan and it cycles multiple chambers via an electic motor and battery.

Special Note by Gen. Anders: All attempts to use this weapon in Spartan Simulated Combat drills show that not even Spartans can wield this Reaver in Close Quarters. All who have tried have failed. At close range any Elite or Spartan can easily leap out of the firing arc the moment they hear the Reaver powering up. Once firing it cannot turn fast enough due to the recoil to follow the target.

Primary Purpose: Infantry Suppression
Secondary Purpose: Anti-Vehicle
AVAILABILITY: Rare
ZOOM: None
ROUNDS - DEFAULT: 480
ROUNDS LOADED PER USE: Chain Fed
MAX AMMO CAPACITY: 1920
ROUNDS FIRED PER SECOND: 40
RELOAD TIME: 8 seconds (Only needs to be reloaded when new ammunition is found)
MELEE RATING: Impossible
HIT DAMAGE: 60-80 DU per Round.

Think about when you get Halo 2 youll have the manual. isnt it fun ti just look at the different weapons and enemies and vehicles in it (since they show a;; the vehicles weapons and enemies) and read the description. I know thats the first thing im going to do.

I tried using the Panzerfaust in Wolfenstein. That thing was hard to use. That half walking speed thing was painful to contend with in such a fast paced game.
