Frank recently typed up a Weekly Update at halo.ogresnet.com. After reading the update, I clicked on the forum name in which he posted this update. There, I found this. I believe most of these have been confirmed and/or are obvious.

I hope this can rid the forums of unnecessary questions.

Also, check out their forums. There are some pretty interesting topics there.

I don't know that most of it is accurate, a lot seems like assumptions. In my sig there's a link which actually depicts information that has been confirmed or issued directly by Bungie/interviews with Bungie. A lot of the information in that thread is speculation, obvious or otherwise...

There goes vociferous, advertising his signature again...

Don't get me wrong though, it's a pretty damn fine summary of what's (possibly) going to be in the game

Yeah, Scratch the Plasma Sword, I'd explain for the twentieth time this week, but I'm a little low on time. I guess I should finish reading it to. I very likely Doubt the Warthog would be destructible, that would be stupid if it blew up on an important mission, or if you had to walk a very long way. Okay I'm saying 90% is fake, just my opinion though

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

This is almost all speculation, cmon almost every marine/ODST unique? There's no way Bungie has time for that. I agree with Verycoldiceicle it's 90% fake.

WHAT! Less powerful pistols and no scope! That would totally suck. Pistols rock.

Its gonna happen, Pistol = 1 handed weapon = duel wielding = cant look through 2 scopes at same time.

I wouldn't say 90% fake. . . 80+% of the info listed there has been confirmed, strongly hinted at by Bungie or speculation of the blatantly obvious. Some of the speculation is going out on a limb, but it's mostly just probable events somewhat blown out of proportion (numerous faces, quite possible but not entirely likely).

I don't see why you'd say there's no plasma sword either, I felt that it was pretty commonly accepted that it would make the cut. So many people would want to use it, Bungie would be crazy not to, considering how much this game is going to be scrutinized.

It would make more sense for pistols to be scopeless after all. Think about it, a bullet's accuracy is determined by the force of the powder behind it and the length of the barrel. Pistols have very short barrels and making a highly accurate, even at long range, pistol makes no sense whatsoever considering the AssaultRifle with a barrel at least 4 times as long is about as accurate as a nerf-gun past 20m

I don't understand how people can think they know so much about Halo 2. Especially when E3 hasn't come and gone yet. No one knows what kind of stuff Bungie will unleash in the game. I say that everything that's posted shouldn't be put down right off. Atleast be somewhat open minded...

MakaVeli4LIfe1, no hostility taken, I was just giving the reason why I post it. A lot of these threads have a lot of hearsay, and granted my list may not be 100% confirmed to the last drop, it's pretty damn close. Thanks for the compliment.

My list isn't because I know so much about Halo 2, but rather I've only posted on things that are either confirmed to be in the game or extremely likely based on interviews and articles reviewing the known facts of the game. And E3 has come and gone, much of Halo 2 being revealed then. This year's E3 is a freebie of sorts since the game was slated for spring of 2004 by Microsoft. The information at this year's E3 will be abundant and that's a great thing, however you can't just make a thread on guesses you have and then try to pass them off as the real deal. Much of that first link is such things. Some may come to past, some may not, but openmindedness shouldn't double for foolishness.
