There are many things mentioned in the Halo books that we have yet to uncover, or hear from bungie.

In first strike, it mentioned two new guns, the Magnum and the battle rifle... We have all heard of the battle rifle, but magnum?

Also, somwhere in the book it mentions guns called Needle Launchers (no not the needler) it was described to have needles the size of a spartans fore arm and are lobed.

Not to mention the guns, but also a covenant flying craft called seraphs are in the books as well.

There is tons more stuff to mention... I just hope they all turn up in Halo2!

We didn't get to fly the longsword, so I'll doubt we'll get to fly the seraph.

The Battle Rifle we have all heard of, but the Magnum pistol will probably be new to the people who have read the books. The Magnum pistol has I believe a .50 calibur bullet and less rounds of ammo in the magazine than the previous pistol. Because of larger bullet size there is more kickback when you shoot the pistol, but accuracy was increased when the gun was steadied. You are also able to dual-weild this weapon as you all should know.
I've read all of the books twice and I've never heard of any "Needle Launcher." If you are talking about when two of the Spartans are flying in the stolen Banshees and are being fired at by Hunters, you may have gotten confused because I'm pretty sure they were describing the Hunters green plasma as a stinging needle like sensation when it went by them too close.
The Covenant Seraphs have been mentioned in the books since The Fall Of Reach. The Seraphs are basically the Covenants equivalent to the UNSC Longsword fighter. The Seraphs are used in space combat and for ground assaults. I highly doubt we will be able to fly these in Halo 2, but maybe for once we will be able to see one.
