Nothing wrong with your xbox or game, they were only in the PC version. Probably because Bungie didn't have time to put them in the xbox one. I don't remember if the PC version came out at the same time or later, but if it was later that would explain it.

Bungie opted to make the fuel rod gun un-usable for whatever reason, and I don't think they even made the flamethrower for Halo 1.

When Gearbox ported it to PC 2 years later they decided they would throw the Fuel Rod gun in. And they made the flamethrower based of off the one in the earlier versions of Halo.

If you don't got it, you want it. If you got it, you want more of it. Of course if you don't know what it is, it's hard to get any in the first place.

The Fuel-Rod had some kind of issue if I remember. I think it was caused by a graphics issue, though it might have been a balance issue. I forget which is which.

The flamethrow got cut due to graphics issues as well if I remember things right. Or they might have thought it was just boring.

I think it is because They were in the Custom edition or something that was made for PC.

This is it. Fuel rod cannon was latency and extremely overpowered, while flamethrower caused lag.

It seems to me that the PC gamers get the better deal when it comes to Halo. Admittedly they've had to wait longer for Halo CE and Halo 2 (and even longer for Halo 3) but in Halo CE they got an additional map (Gyraphobia or something) and 2 extra weapons at least. The in Halo 2, they incorporated a Halo 2 map maker into the disk due to the online community making their own for Halo CE, and then coincedentally coming up with Halo CE (Custom Edition) to support these custom maps... I can't complain because I partake in both Xbox and PC Halo, but still seems like the xbox players get a raw deal when it comes to extras... probably why they incorporated Forge into Halo 3, but it's not the same...

Halo 1 came with more than just one new map. I think it was like six, actually.

Even if the PC versions get a few new maps, weapons and custom map support I definitely wouldn't say they get the better end of the stick. They have to wait years. It wasn't quite as bad for Halo: Combat Evolved, it came two years after the xbox, but that was still quite a long time. But for Halo 2 by the time that came out on the PC Halo 3 was mere weeks away. By the time the PC versions of these games come out the excitement for these games is largely gone. Halo definitely doesn't lead the way for PC shooters.

Halo 3 is over three years old and there isn't even so much as a hint that it'll be ported the PC. I'd hate to be a Halo fan without a 360. No amount of additional content could possibly make up for that kind of wait. Theres no chance it's releasing on the PC this year. Halo 3's a great game and all but even back in 2007 it wasn't exactly the pinnacle of console graphics, just imagine getting it on the PC in 2011 if it did come out next year.
