With the weapons in halo 2 a pattern has formed. It seems that with every weapon that Humans or Covenant have, there is an opposing weapon on the opposite side. here's a list of all weapons in the game and the covenant opposite. Some don't have opposites yet, so i made one up. If we're lucky then they'll all be in halo 2, even the assault rifle as an easter egg.

HUMAN___________COVENANT
human pistol <> plasma pistol
assault rifle <> plasma rifle
S.M.G <> Needler
Rocket L <> Fuelrod cannon

sniper rifle __ Covenant
Battle rifle -- Carbine

Machete <> Plasma sword
Grenade launcher <> Brute gun
Flamethrower <> Gravity Gun? /some flame thrower equal
shotgun <> gravity gun?

It's the same with vehicles.

Warthog <> Shadow
A.T.V <> Ghost
Scorpion <> Wraith
???? <> Banshee.

This should give an idea of what to expect in Halo 2. If the weapons follow this pattern that is.

I don't know about the gravity gun. Also, like you said, you made up stuff. A machete would not be the most desireable of weapons, and we don't know if there is a UNSC grenade launcher. Also the equivalent to the Longsword, whcih you omitted, is the Seraph. And the Banshee's equivalent is the SkyHawk Jumpjet mentioned in the Fall of Reach (The Seraph was also in this book)

Other than that I like how they are being given equivalents. I most especially like how you put the MA5B and M6Din there. Good job, I agree they should stay to maintain the balance of power.

Sub Machine Gun, new gun that is kinda neat. Weaker than the MA5B(from what I've seen), but can make up for this by being dual wieldable. Think bullet hose.

Im not sure if u r a spammer, but the BR shoots bursts of 3 unzoomed and 1 shot zoomed. The SMG is full on automatic and can be duel wielded

I'll be on my own side.

heres the specs for a UNSC grenade launcher.what do you think??


M205 Grenade Launcher

Fires small, HE, impact detonation rounds. Drum fed, with 6 rounds to a drum. Can fire HE, or napalm grenades or can fire Covenant plasma grenades for increased range. Grenades that are loaded in can be set to impact detonation if they don’t explode like that already.


i have more ideas. PM me if you want them.

No thanks. Especially if it's drum fed, make it clip fed. Also it shouldn't be able to trow plasma grenades. Especially if you actally knew how a grenade launcher works.

you cant clip feed a grenade launcher if they use more than one type of grenade.

Then don't be foolish and bring up such dumb ideas if you don't want me to lecture, because I will.

Besides it would be impossible, even as a drum fed weapon, to shoot plasma grenades.

Also having mulitple grenade types? Screw that. I'll keep my hand thrown weapons for simplicity's sake.

Obiously, for fun. Remember in goldeneye on N64 they had the hunting knives. They were crap but they were great fun in multiplayer. Hopefully bungie wont leave any weapons out in Halo 2. They should bring them all back so that we have like 10 human weapons and about 10 covanant weapons in multiplayer. It wouldn't matter if the weapons were the same, like the pistol from halo and another pistol of higher caliber without the scope that was supposed to be in halo 2.
BTW some ppl are missing the point i was tryin to make. The covenant have equal weapons to the humans and vice versa, but the Brute gun and the plasma sword leave a void in the balance that could only be filled with a UNSC grenade gun and a machete.
Oh and I did read the books, but i didn't want to include anything from them. If i did then i'd ask that they put Lotus antitank mines in the game. OMG i can see it now, it'll be just like Proximity mines in goldeneye, so many frags, so much destruction.
