Oh, thought you meant NEW weapons. Thats the confirmed weapons that will be added, most weapons from Halo: Combat Evolved will return altough refined.

The Covenant Carbine is the Covenants answer to the Battle Rifle.
Picture here: http://halo.bungie.org/pressscans/oxm.0604/5.jpg


The 'Slug Thrower' is the prefered weapon of the new Covenant race called Brutes, it shoots high velocity grenades and has a blade on it for melee.

Yeah, that whole flood parasite gun sounds unlikely... It sounds too creative for Halo, lol. Halo guns suck compared to many other FPS... (Halo is still the best FPS, tho...)

Thats what i think makes halo awesome its plain stupid fighting you have to make up your own tactics in a game designed to be a run and gun with some quirks think about u drive u shoot u gernade that was about it in the first halo it was simplicity at its highest im not sure halo 2 can live up to this simplicity with it cinfusing some people with the easiest of things (3 weapons, dual weilding buttons or crosshairs, target tracking, etc,)

Ok cool, thanks. Would you guys agree that the new Battle Riffle is basically a more accurate, but toned (because of three shot bursts) version of the assualt riffle, but with the pistol feature in it (because of when zoomed it fires single shot bursts). And if there is this pistol like feature in the new BR don't you think Bungie would just leave the pistol out of the game? I heard rumors that they were going to do this, but if the new BR did have this pistol like feature I really wouldn't mind if Bungie did away with the pistol from Halo 1, mainly because you would basically have two guns in one. I really like this idea and hope they keep it.

I can definitely understand what you're saying, but don't you think the people who have already master the "simplicity" of Halo 1 will find these new features to be helpful and refreshing. Gameplay, I think, will ultimately be enhanced.

The BR is basicly a hybrid of the pistol and AR.

Pistol is returning but with no scope and it is weaker than in the first game due to balance issues.
Many people complained about the fact that the pistol was overpowered so now it's actually a pistol and not a portable death machine.

Yea I know really, the pistol in Halo 1 was so damn powerful. In multiplayer with 100% it took like 4 shots to kill someone.
