Like the Reach assault rifle & not the regular MA5B Assualt Rifle, I hope they're not going to use the Reach sniper rifle. I was playing Halo CE recently, & on the 2nd mission, when you land on the halo, I got a marine with the sniper in my warthog passenger seat.
If you have Reach, & you play Invasion on Boneyard, do you know how the elites will spawn in the back, then they have to go all the way to the building on the other side. Think of that length/distance. That's how far the AI marine will snipe with his weapon, but in Halo CE. In Reach, you have to be much more close to have your marine fire his sniper.
So, I hope the AIs don't act the same as the do in Reach, along with the weapons. All I've seen so far, is that they kept the pistol the same, with its ridiculous damage when it comes to headshots (that we miss).

Go to youtube and search 'grunt funeral skull'. they changed the pistol and assault rifle so they probably changed those weapons too.

The MA37 assault rifle you saw in that trailer was being used for testing. It has now been replaced with the old, graphicaly enhanced MA5B. The same goes with the M6G pistol now being the old M6D.

Everything in the game is the same as it used to be. The only difference is the addition of terminals, online co-op, achievments, skulls, and the epic new graphics that you can turn on and off.

Ignore all of that. All that Reach-stuff in the trailers were actually just placeholders in order to get a quick trailer out in-time for E3. If you watch more recent videos like the Grunt Funeral Skull Preview, you will see that they are progressively making corrections and alterations to make the original experience much more nostalgic.

EDIT:: And don't forget, this game is exactly the same thing as the original. By this, I mean that all 343 is doing LITERALLY taking the old game and REPAINTING IT and giving new audio. There is no change to the AI, how you punch things, the level size, the grenade arc, the warthog invincibility, or even the old glitches and easter eggs. Seriously dude, don't worry.
