Frag Grenade >< Plasma Grenade

M6D Pistol >< Energy Pistol

MA5B Assault Rifle >< Energy Rifle

SMG >< Needler

M90 Shotgun >< ???

Battle Rifle >< Covenant Carbine

S2 AM Sniper Rifle >< ???

M19 SSM Rocket Launcher >< Fuel Rod Gun

??? >< Brute Weapon(Grenade Launcher)

Flame Thrower >< ???

??? >< Energy Sword

Warthog >< ???

ATV >< Ghost

Scorpian >< Wraith

Troop Transport Warthog >< Creep

Pelican >< Covenant Dropship

Longsword >< Seraph

Human Turret >< Shade

Covenant Drop Pods >< O.D.S.T.'s

??? >< Plasma Cannon

??? >< Jackal Shield

I don't know If you can tell what I'm doing or why I'm doing it but whatever. I like how for the most part Bungie has made an equal and opposite reaction to almost every weapon they make. I like how a weapon from the human side, will be similar but a little different from the covenant side(or vise versa). I'm aware my list isnt perfect, and that some of the things I listed probably wont make it into the game. All that aside, what question mark(or non question mark)would you like to see the most in Halo 2, and please let me know if my list is incorrect or if I left something out.

S2 AM Sniper Rifle ><Covenant sniper rifle?
Meele with brute weapon?><Energy Sword
Long sword fighter>< Phantom

Thats all I can manage, and I don't think all weapons need an equal opposite if that makes sence.

I too would also want to see a Covenant sniper rifle, and there's a good chance we'll get it. As far as the Brute weapon goes, I'm sure it will have a little bit more powerful melee than the rest of the weapons, but I was thinking something human. I would still pit the Longsword against a Scarab though(have you read the books?). The Phantom seams more like a low-orbit ship than a space fighter to me.

Neither do I, its just an idea.

Phantoms have replaced Covenant dropships. They are the new dropships.

The Shadow is a Covenant version of the Warthog. It has a plasma gun on top and 2 seats. It's under Halo 2 concept art.

Stupid about that covies have 2 granade launchers but not rocket/plasma torpedo launcher and humans don't have even 1 granade launcher.

I never liked the Fuel Rod Cannon that much, and a better Plasma type rocket launcher would be awesome.

Interesting concept. Like if the Shotgun had a lock-on melee attack where you leap towards someone smashing the Shotgun into their visor, and then pull the trigger and blow their head off! lol jk

Not Scarab, "Seraph".

The Covenant Carbine is NOT a sniper rifle(although it may have a scope)! If a Covenant Sniper Rifle made it into the game it would be a different weapon from the Carbine entirely.

Originally, the human's had a machette as a close-range weapon; the human counterpart to the Covenant energy sword. I don't think they will put it back in, though.

so far, I am thinking NO. Bungie hasn't said anything about adding in the MA5B, so who knows? May or may not.

Yes, it was in an interview either in a magazine or a video. I'm positive.

That's why in the E3 gameplay trailer the Brutes drop out of the sky when the Warthogs drive under the Phantom.

Sounds good. I was thinking the Phantom was a little more than what you would classify as your average dropship. More like a "Ijustdroppedabrandnewmarineasskickingalienontothehoodof yourwarthogship". Ya know that sord'a ship.
