They haven't said yet. It'll probably be something like Team Slayer.

No, they haven't. Read the FAQ.

Bungie has talked that they would LOVE to do giant battles of Spartans on one side and Elites on the other as a game type but they wouldn't confirm or deny that it was going to make the final cut.

New weapons that we know of are:

* Battle Rifle
* SMG
* Stationary turrets in Multiplayer
* Guass Cannon on the back of the Warthog
* Covenant Carbine

And I think that is all they have confirmed.

No, the Carbine is not the same as the Fuel Rod gun. It is the Covenant equivilant to the Human Battle Rifle, according to Bungie. The Fuel Rod Gun and the Flamethrower haven't been mentioned. I highly doubt that they'll be in Halo 2.

Is the carbine the one that mc was using to blast at shadows in the E3 video?

It's an assumption. They have not confirmed it. I have the GI article in front of me. "The following is a list of things that have been mentioned by Bungie and are believed to be true or very, very likely." Notice likely, not confirmed. The only thing the article told me for sure that I was wondering is that you can have more than 2 teams now. That was played and confirmed. The dual weapons hasn't even been confirmed. It's being worked on but hasn't been seen yet. Remember the flame thrower was SUPPOSE to be in Halo 1.

The gun you're thinking of would be the gauss cannon (some people call it a rail gun; they're synonyms).

At any rate, confirmed new guns:
Carbine
SMG
Battle Rifle
Brute Gun

(Quasi) Likely new guns:
Big friggin pistol outta FS
Flamethrower *
Fuel Rod Gun **

*: They mentioned that one of the reasons the flamethrower wasn't in the original was because people would want to set things on fire, even though they couldn't. They also mentioned that in Halo 2, they fixed that.
**: If it's not included, but the flamethrower is, I guarantee it's because in Halo PC, the FRG is t3h -blam!- (lamer delight).
