What do you think will be your favorite weapon of Halo 2? If you are a Halo fanatic like I am, you should have read every dang preview, all the E3 Halo 2 coverage, and seen all of the Halo 2 videos. I'll explain a little about all the weapons:

Battle Rifle: The Battle Rifle is basically the offspring of the pistol and assault rifle. It can fire single shots when zoomed in, and 3-shot bursts when not zoomed in.

SMG: The SMG is a very powerful, fully automatic machine gun good for close range action.

Covenant Carbine: Very little is known about this weapon. All I know is that it can be zoomed in and is sort of the Covenant equivelant of the Human Battle Rifle.

Rocket Launcher: Presumably is the same as in Halo 1 but has a new motion tracking feature that allows you to hit moving targets easier.

Sniper Rifle: Nothing has been said to change about it from its Halo 1 form except for a slight different look.

Needler: All I know about the Needler that has been changed is that it is more powerful than in Halo 1.

RPG Launcher on back of Warthogs: In the E3 2004 Halo 2 Multiplayer Demonstration, they showed this weapon. It is mounted on the back of Warthogs, and has unlimited ammo.

Energy Sword: This is a very powerful melee weapon. You can slash at and enemy by pressing B or you can do a powerful lunge attack by pressing R.

Now VOTE ALREADY!!!!

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

Actually Cramesta, the Sniper Rifle is going to be different but not too much. The reticle will be different for one and two, the gun will give a kick after each shot, forcing you to re-aim it, (not re-zoom), in other words the recoil from your first shot will make your second shot not hit the same spot as the first. I think it's for the best, makes you go for the head shot.

Yeah, new sniper rifle sounds awesome, because if they miss, most likely they will miss again, because you are aware of them. YAY... i dont know which will be my favorite, because i have not used them, but the BR looks like it has my vote for now!

why does everyone compare the Covinant carbine to the battle rifle? since there is definatly going to be a Covinant Sniper rifle, and the carbine is the only thing we know about with a scope, couldn't the CC be a sniper rifle? also, the BR is basically a 2-handed pistol with a big clip, and there alredy is an equal (Plasma Pistol)

ok, sorry to say this, but you are wrong in like every point.
bungie and another game magazine have said that the Cov Carbine is the equivalent of the BR. it has a high rate of fire, so it cant be a SniperRifle, though it does have a scope[2x]. since its an equivalent to the BR, I expect it will be weaker scoped in, like the BR shoots single shot bursts. and the clip on the BR is really about the same size as a pistol, but rather than 1 bullet it shoots 3 round bursts[thats how they toned it down]. 12 shots total for either weapon. but it is 2 handed, you got that right.

the plasma pistol is definetly not the counterpart. its now dual weildable, and weak but versatile. the BR is just strong and versatile. expect to see a new pistol to be the equal to the plasmapistol.

Well the BR isnt a two handed pistol! If you havnt bothered to notcie, unzoomed it shot 3 round burts. Its toned done from the pistol, cause it taked 6-9 shots to kill someone.(just speculation from the vid labeled Battleriflekill) And its nothing like a real pistol. The pistol from Halo wasnt all that realistic.
