I would be highly suspicious of the Energy Garrote and C-7 Foaming explosive entries.
There is a post somewhere from someone at Bungie saying MC will get a few new "tools", so the explosive may fall into that category, but I don't see ANY shred of proof on that.
And the Energy Garrote? That, I think, is just reckless speculation. I honestly don't think Bungie would do something like that. Besides, how are you going to successfully garrote an Elite that has shields, or a Brute? You already score an instant kill with a melee from behind, so what would the point of including a Garrote be besides allowing your consumers a morbid, sadistic thrill?
Bungie has never been that kind of studio.
I am slightly skeptical about the "combat knife" as well.
That image is an image of the blade that was originally planned for Halo, but was cut, no pun intended. Since Bungie admitted removing helicopters because they "were not futuristic enough", I bet they won't include such a weapon in Halo2.
