Not to mention Halo 2 had the most weapons if one counts glitches making one weapon into 2 or 3 weapons (as it's used different, speed for control), plasma pistol can be used 2 different ways, even grande throwing could be changed with glitching to launch two at a time, duals made many many more weapons (a mix of different weapons). Not to mention the huge inventory of modded weapons. A huge inventory means nothing when only a fraction of them are ever used. In my experience, only the Sword, Shotgun, Sniper, Rockets, and BR were ever used. That means no carbine, no plasma pistol, no plasma rifle, no brute plasma rifle, no sentinel beam, no brute shot, no needler, no SMG, no pistol. More than half the weapon list is utterly useless in multiplayer.
The diversity of weapons was extreme yet there was only a few. It was of a brilliant design that no other halo had. Halo 3 had ever more diversity in its weapons. Except more of them were effective, just unused. If you want to talk diversity, CE still reigns supreme here. Each and every weapon had its own niche, and was best in that niche.
a ce pistol is just that a pistol, a br in halo 2 was 5 weapons (or more in one),BXR,BXB,double shot,tripple shot, quad shot. If you do them in different combinations that it's almost endless what someone can do in halo2 and knowing what others will do is almost impossible, and you have to approch each person differently not knowing there abilities to use the weapons. That's just the thing. In CE, you have to use what you have to outfight somebody to win. In Halo 2, it was about being better at abusing glitches and flaws in the game.
Not to mention on your first point that even though there are more weapons, most of them are just duplicates of weapons that we already have or are weapons put in to replace weapons that didn't need replacing(BR = Carbine, BR = CE pistol, Sword = op shotgun, Brute PR = PR on steriods, etc)
Aside from that, chicken said everything else I would've said.
