Yea, exactly, not equivilants per se, but more of a balancing act. They can't just make up weapons like other games do, or else it wouldn't be halo.
I put it to you that all the weapons are made up anyway, and it's still Halo.
What they need to do is make sure that all the weapons are equally valuable at some point, that each one has its own tactical use, and you decide what to carry based on what's going on around you. They only really fell over with the Needler in the first one, and that would be quite easy to fix (and actually, having two would give you some lethal covering fire capabilities)
