I, like everyone else, wants to see halo 2 have alot more weapons than the ones we already know about : -
Plasma pistol - certain
Plasma rifle - certain
Plasma sword/Energy sword(Whatever) - certain
Carbine - certain
Fuel rod cannon -unsure (Most likely though)
Needler - certain
Battle rifle - certain
Shotgun - certain
Smg - certain
Sniper rifle - certain
Rocket launcher - certain
Brutes gun - certain (But can we use it? Most likely)
Flamethrower - ?possible?
Pistol - ?possible? unsure

These, i think are all the weapons we are certain about, and the ones we arent to sure on, but in any case, these are the only weapons we have heard about (Except for nades). Yet bungie has said their will be more weapons.
What i was wondering is, have any of you got any ideas for any other weapons.
The thing about halo is, its set in the future, and includes aliens, meaning there could be any kind of weapons. Before i played halo i would never have thought of a needler. So i was wondering, if you guys worked for bungie and had to think up some sensible balanced weapons, what would you create?

When i think of weapons i try to imagine one that fulfills a a certain job, e.g. we have shotgun for short range, and sniper for long range, basically every weapon has its uses and areas where it is not so usefull.

But even when i sit here and thinks, the only idea i can come up with is a sort of covenant flame thrower, than the covenant would use in single player. It would be just like a flame thrower, except, it has a smaller damage area, but longer range than a flamethrower, and basically it shoots out a spray of plasma.

So back to the point, basically what sensible ideas have you guys got for weapons in halo 2?

There are 2 Sniper rifles a covie and an earthican. I would like to see a six shot revolver that could stop enemies dead in their tracks 1 shot would take shields and the it would take 3 bars of health for every shot but it would have tons of kick back so it wouldn't be a superweapon and reloading would take a medium time like shotgun but six shots but you wouldn't have to fully reload to shoot and just for fun make it look like Vash the stampedes

One of the mods already said that the Covenant sniper everyone is thinking of is the Carbine (Covenant sniper = Covenant Carbine)

I imagine if you used flamethrower on the flood, they would just keep running at you whilst still on fire.

I havent actually played halo on the pc, so ive never tried the flamethrower, but from what my mates told me it sounds a bit too powerfull

Then again using a flamethrower on the flood could be like using it on undead in Timesplitters...

Thats what I figured, but in the post from wednesday they said the carbine would be like the battle rifle, not an sniper rifle, so I don't know why ppl keep calling it that

If there is going to be bigger battles no that the ai has improved greatly, then id expect the marines to have snipers, but if the marines do have sniper (And i dont mean the odd sniper like sarge, i mean positioned snipers hiding in a destroyed building, while you and the other marines fight) support, then surely the covenant will have to have an answer for it, and if they do then what weapon will they use, carbine, or a new weapon.
