After watching the inside xbox video on ODST and hearing about the new restrictions involving

Movement
duel wield
jump height
Covenant weaponry

I was disappointed

Now I love the covenant weapons. Especially the highly useful Carbine, Plasma Pistol and sword.

It makes sense to not move as fast as a spartan or elite, Jump as high, and duel wield(Well rifles atleast)

If simple marines can wield the covenant weapons(Johnson and his team, for example, all equip carbines and plasma rifles in the very first mission of Halo 3. Marines in Halo 2 can be given covenant weapons as well...

Please let us wield the covenant weaponry.

It's a big part of Halo's futuristic setting and all sci-fi games/TV series/movies have some form of alien weaponry that's utilized(even if it requires some education) Just look at stargate. Almost all alien technology is used.

You might want to check your sources, I almost every gameplay footage we see the use of covenant weapons. Hell the first visual of firefight in the gameplay trailers is ODSTs shooting hunters with Maulers.

The Flood Revolution is coming...

It's Covenant equipment, not weapons.

Aha, the word equipment does apply to weapons in a sense outside of halo. My misunderstanding i presume....

i belive shhave funzes suppos

Yes, I'm the guy who had the Flood admit to being furries.

Look at the gameplay trailer too, You can still use Carbines and Fuel Rod Guns. I'd imagine you'll be able to use everything EXCEPT the Energy Sword and Brute Shot(you could not give Marines those weapons in Halo 2 or Halo 3). You cannot use Equipment in this game.

Equipment:
Bubble Shield
Power Drainer
Regenerator

The only one I see being useful is the Bubble Shield, considering we don't have regenerating shields anymore.
