I remember reading in one of the previous manuals that the assault rifle and scoped pistol were experimental weapons.

The assault rifle's compass was relevant to the local gas giant or something, and so would be useless on earth.
The pistol was for some reason replaced buy these -blam- magnums. My friend says you cannot duel-weild a scoped weapon. Can you put a pistol in one hand, and one in the other?

We also found an interveiw with Bungie where they said the weapon cheif had in the trailor was not an assault rifle...but something new!

What do you guys/gals think.

maybe it shoots rockets at the same rate as the real assault rifle in Halo: CE does with bullets

I think they should put everything in the new game. Past, present, and future. Load us up with all the options the 360 can handle.

The compass wouldn't be useless on Earth. It wasn't very useful on Halo, though.

You can use two scoped pistols at once. You just can't use two scopes at once. Besides, the MC doesn't have to actually look through the scope anyway. At least, not by holding it up to his eye. The guns are smartlinked, so it is easily feasible for the "scope" to be a camera that is fed through to his visor.

True, the old pistol should come back though.

The armour the marines wore in HALO 1 was MK 3 wasn't it? The new marines looked crap (gotta love the old cross-com)

I don't believe the Marines' armor was Mjolnir armor. I didn't have a problem with any of the Marines' armor from either game, although in Halo 2 it did seem a bit cartoonish.

I also think the Halo 1 pistol should come back, even if it's just an option for multiplayer customs.
