Over a the site formally known as Battleground Halo ( now called HaloPlanet ) in they'r halo2 section under weapons ( Here )they've ponted out some sort of explosive, a marine combat knife, a plasma garrote and they've identified the brute's new gun as a grenade launcher?? Another bit of info is the bit about the battle rifle ( a quote ) :
"...It fires in three-round bursts by holding the trigger down, and can fire single shots by lightly pressing the trigger and releasing, and also while in zoom mode." Is this saying that a marine can do that and if u had this gun in real-life thats all you needed to do? or does this mean by tapping the trigger we can release a single shot. If so, cool! Please, people: make your comments and use the link to take a look for yourself.

in real life there is a selector switch or a double action trigger.

I don't think that anything is confirmed until bungie tells us but that is just me. In my opinion, all else are just rumors.

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.

No, that is just what OXM refered to it as instead of saying "Brutes gun" the whole time. Its official name isnt known yet.

Actually I could see you having a combat knife. If you got in close enough quarters it could do quite a bit of damage. So who knows...maybe there will be a human counter to the son of a -blam!- stick.

grenade launchers in real life just shoot large metal slugs, not grenades

No, they shoot grenades, don't talk about things you don't understand.
Example M-203, M-79.

I think the brute weapon is a covie shotgun if you ask me...
Whats the point of a grenade launcher ! you already have one on your left trigger !
Combat knife? urm come on you have combo melee's and a plasma sword now... dont think so...
Foam explosives? again hello... you have grenades... ?
