In the halo evolution video at gamespot theres a grip of weapons that never made it. The speargun, Miningun, anti-air rocket launcer, knife, grenade launcher on assault rifle, SMG, flamethrower, gravity gun, alien sniper rifle.

Hopefully we will see more of these in Halo 3.

Well, as we have seen with Halo PC and Halo 2, some weapons were just a little longer in coming (SMG, Flamethrower, Alien Sniper Rifle). The Evolution of Halo video depicts exactly that; the evolution of Halo. As the game was developed, certain aspects were droped or improved on. That is a great video and really shows how Halo started out as a modified, sci-fi version of Myth, morphed into a third person tactical shooter and eventually became the original FPS we all know and love.

The Grenade Launcher on the Assault Rifle did have a certain Marathon nostalgia to it...

In the end, I am sure that Bungie just droped guns they felt were unbalanced, repetitive or unnecessary.

Aww, come on, you mean to tell me that you didn't want to ride one!?!

I personally almost wanted to flip that boat myself... ;)
