Yes, I can read you know. This just isn't the pistol from H1

Didn't Bungie say the Halo 1 pistol wasn't going to be in H2 anyway? So this must be a new pistol.

I was just reading this new info, then I checked Bungie's Halo 2 FAQ, and the bit about the Covenant Carbine is wrong. It will be the energy based sniper weapon, but the website says they will be seperate. This may just be a mistake for that single piece of info, or it could all be flawed.

Well, that was only information from the beta version, so anything listed there could change. This information seems pretty accurate. If it wasn't, I don't think Louis Wu would've bothered to post it on the HBO site.

Sniper weapon is different from sniper rifle. Play snipers in Halo which, which weapons do you get? The M6D and Sniper Rifle - They are both sniper weapons. If you can zoom in and place quick accurate fire on a target it is a sniper weapon.

In the FAQ they also describe the Carbine as the Covenant version of the Battle Rifle. Both of these weapons are sniper weapons, but are in know way sniper rifles.

Here check pages 2 and 3 MS already hinted at two separate covenant sniper weapons, the Carbine and a Sniper Rifle.

Something like that. Except it is more of a Plasma Sniper Weapon.

Well, if you want more insight on the new weapons...READ THE BOOKS. There is a new pistol, with (from what I understand) a larger slug, but a decreased ROF. I'm pretty sure ALL "pistol size" weapons will be able to be dual wieldable. Furthermore, the MA5B Assault Rifle will also have larger caliber bullets in exchange for a smaller clip size. I imagine wight now the Halo Books are your best way of finding out what's new in Halo 2, story wise and weapons wise. And did I mention that there could be mines and nuclear footballs?

Just because they're listed in the book doesn't mean they'll make it in the game... There are several weapons in the book that never made it in the game you know (Halo), like the Lotus Anti-Tank mines, the older style of Assault Rifle, Linda had three types of sniper rifles before she was hit ect.

I don't dought that the pistol will return, as you see... At E3 this year, they asked about it and recieved no comment... That there tells me that it will probably come back, but they are changing it for balancing. (I believe the fact that it was common sense it was a bit overpowered, and the fact if it wasn't changing that we would have seen it in game by now is evidence to my speculation)

Personally, I think this isn't that accurate. One of the new features about the covenant is that they will use flashlights to hunt you down in the dark. It claims that the flashlight has been taken away. So this leaves they question of, how do you hunt down the enemy in the dark since they took away your flashlight. Also everything seemed a little unprofessional, very short of details, careless grammer mistakes, and the part where they were talking about new levels, they mentioned one we already new about (the only new info was that you can destroy something, and we already new that there were cool destructable environments I.E. Zanzibar's "bridge" to the energy sword). It seemed sort of like a child wrote it. I don't buy it.

the magnum from the book was described as more powerful than the pistol...it has a large caliber bullet but it didn't have a scope and most likely it will be a lot less accurate and have a lot less rounds....think dessert eagle from rainbow six 3, or the night hawk from counter strike.

That was describing multiplayer. In Halo when you had more than 4 in multiplayer your flashlight did not work anyway. There will be flashlights in singleplayer becuase you do not need teamtalk.
