hmmm... Hopefully actual equipment (Bubble Shields) wont be used at all. But maybe the original pistol will make its return, getting rid of the BR. Also if they are true to the book, energy shields will not be present, as they are not used by anyone but John (MC)
I've notice that over time Bungie has found niches for many of the games weapons (good example: The BR spread change) and i think that in Halo 3: ODST they found a place for the pistol. Judging by the E3 trailer it would seem to have the rate of fire and power of the Halo 2 Pistol (meaning it shoots as fast as you can pull the trigger and has a seemingly lower damage output then then all the others) with the range and accuracy of the Halo CE pistol, making for a weapon that excels at taking down enemies with no energy shields or power armor, or as i like to call it a "finisher". If I am correct I doubt we will be seeing a return of the Halo CE pistol.
