Interesting video, thanks for posting it.

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.
