Does anybody know the new weapons and the returning weapons for HALO 2? I think that most likely the pistol and the AR won't be returning...but are there any others that aren't coming back? Also, what is the Covenant Carbine? It was in the OXM article in June, I think. If you have any info, please post it...

I'm pretty sure the pistol will be back, maybe not the same (it was damn powerful in Halo), but I don't think they will just leave it out and pretend it never existed. I'm not sure about the AR, but it would be nice to have it in Halo 2. I don't see much reason not to throw it in.

I believe the carbines like the battle rifle, only covenant (obviously).

The pistol will be back but changed for the better. And The AR is being replaced by the new and improved Battle Rifle

Oh, that's cool. I love my pistol...But I thought the Battle Rifle was a sort of replacement for the pistol. Is this in the archives or something?

Whoops, forgot something: What about the Halo PC weapons? Will they make an appearance in Halo 2 (These are the Flame-Thrower and Fuel Rod Gun)?

i would not like a flame thrower becuase it wouldn't make much damage i mean in halo 1 if u walk into fire it would barley hurt u you would have to stand there for 2 minutesthat's is long time SO NO FLAMETHROWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If youve played the PC version you would know that the flamethrower isnt like that AT ALL! But it isnt that strong in my opinion.

i think the fuel rod gun should return but not the flamethrower, such a low heat (plasma weapons are MUCH more) shouldn't really be able to effect a spartan or elites shields. it sounds likely that A pistol will return not likely the same one though, unless it has less power. also the elites in the book used a garrote for killing people from behind. too many weapons would spoil it though, there has been a rumored covenant sniper rifle too.

The slug thrower was confirmed in one of the Weekly Updates. They were finishing the first person view for it.

bungie also when they first announced dual wielding they talked about using a plasma pistol and a pistol as a combo style why would they use that description and then not have it? Also in the discovery channels Halo 2 it shows navy personel holding what looks to be a Pistol so the pistol is definitly gonna be there (in the edge article bungie said not only are they adding new guns but adding nuances to old guns like the pistol and AR)

Specifically in the Update they said they were finishing the first person animation for the Elite when using the Brute Weapon.

--Edit--
For the post below this one.
Well then it is more specific for everyone else who wants to know.
