I'm just wondering if any of the other millions of Halo fans were hoping for any new or original weapons. I'm kind of partial to a Covenant sniper rifle. If anyone has any other ideas I'd love to hear them.

I also would like to see a Covie sniper rifle. Except instead of penetrating you, it could damage your shields a bunch and make you freeze a bit longer than normal energy weapons.

Yeah, but it would definatly need the blue circles that get bigger as they apporach the target, i dont think George Lucas would mind... lol

I think a weapon similar to the Redeemer from Unreal Tournament would be an excellent addition. Its a radio controlled missile launcher with a giant blast radius. When you fire, you have to steer the missile into the doomed area but it can get shot down. Naturally, because of its power you'd only be able to carry a couple of missiles max. And so you don't wait for ammo to respawn, the area where you pick up the weapon is in perfect sniping range. I know this isn't very original but I think something similar would work wonders for halo2 strategies.

I think their should be some weapons that you have to press a button to make it diferent. Or like a Rocket launcher with machine guns on the side.

a grenade launcher would be cool, maybe you could get it as an attachment for your rifle or somethingso yoiu could not only snipe from afar but lob in a few grenades too.

i have heard there is a covenant sniper rifle in halo 2 but who knows, but i do know is there will be a new weapon which the brutes carry and there is also a new weapon in a fairly old screenshot whewre the 2 elites are guarding an entrance it i some sort or plasma weapon and it is purple who is to say what it is maybe the equivilent of the shotgun (plasma shotgun) and there is also talk about a needler cannon which could also be in a fairly new screnshot it came out before the multiplayer screenshots

"ash55" your idea is pretty cool, and in any other game it might fit quite nicely I.E. Unreal, but the problem with that is that Unreal also refers to that as a "miniature hydrogen BOMB" that would be a little too over-powering don't you think??

What about a grenade launcher? It could take out a lot of enemys in a big group.

A grenade launcher might work. if you use it as an attachment to a gun, they'd probably make it so you can only shoot the grenades you're carrying.

Yeah it is powerful but because the levels in halo2 look so huge (ie zanzibar)you would probably only be able to get 1 or 2 people at a time if your lucky and beside, you're always open to sniper fire if youre controlling the rocket so there are some disadvantages that make the game fairer

id like a bayonet, for quick kills with a crappy weapon. *cough ar caugh* or an energy bayonet (or the covie equivelent) on a covenant gun. that would be sweet

There is a grenade launcher is halo....its called the fuel rod gun. (It shoots these rods and you have to aim it in an arc "just like a grenade launcher" and they explode when they hit the ground) or do you mean a human grenade launcher?

Perhaps a high intensity laser that will be able to pick off targets at the speed of light or you can leave the thing on and hack away like some kind of light saber.

Maybe a squad automatic weapon. ya know how a swat team works. two with the standard weapon. (SMG) one with a long range weapon (sniper rifle or battle rifle) one bringing up the rear (shot gun) and one for suppression (very powerful new chainfed weapon or maching gun)

maybe a smart gun that trains the recticule on your opponent makeing taking down covanant extremely easy

maybe a revolver type weapon that is like the mega pistol of doom.

a new grenade that is more powerful than anything we've seen before like a that new MOAB (massive ordanance air burst) thing were using right now

smoke grenade that's a given i want a way to cover myself.

and of course the biggest knife you've ever seen for master chief to mince those little covies with.

Ok, I've got a couple I'll let you guys chew on.

1) The "Mindseeker"- an alternative weapon developed to target the brain. A sensor underneath the barrel of the gun detects brainwaves up to 35M away. This information is used to provide targeting information which is relayed remotely to the projectiles within the weapon. The projectiles are relatively small, self-propelled probes. Each one is round in shape with a small jet propulsion system towards its rear and a hooked tripod in the front as well as small fins along the sides for guidance. The probe is launched out of the barrel of the mindseeker by compressed air and its own propulsion. The targetting information is updated every hundreth of a second to a small receptor and nanoprocessor located in the projectile itself. Once the probe guides itself to targets skull, the tripod latched onto the surface of the helmet or skull and a needle is forced into the skull (and through most types of known armor) by highly compressed air. Upon entering the brain the needle sends a series of electrical pulses to interfere with neural activity. The results are similar to a particularly violent seisure and victims are usually dead within 30 seconds. Each Mindseeker carries a magazine with 5 probes and is battery powered.

2) The "Shrieker"- Another of ONI's S-III alternative weapons, the shrieker is designed to use sonics to disable or kill enemies. The shrieker is rifle shaped and uses the preciecely directed sound of a baby screeching played backwards up to 200 decibals which is effective up to 80M. The weapon has multiple settings to allow it to be very versatile in use. On the lowest setting, the sound can damage hearing and balance by extreme vibration of the cochlea. The victim may flee from the pain, be brought to his knees, rendered unconcious or, in rare cases, killed. Medium settings on the shrieker are more directed towards deafening and destroying equillibrium and balance. Targets may receive fairly serious trauma to organs and bones, but damage is typically restricted to the ears. The highest setting is almost always lethal. The force of the sound at this point is so great, any exposed part of the body is subject to severe trauma. Bones, tissues and organs may become torn and shattered under the stress of vibration within seconds. Sound directed towards the head results in severe brain damage and often death. The benefit of using lethal sonics is not only the inability to detect the weapon being fired (the shrieker is almost silent except for directly in front of the gun and has no other evidence of being fired), but also its ability to circumvent the protection of armor. The vibrations course through armor plating and render slightly reduced but effective damage to the target. The shrieker is even capable of disabling vehicles by damaging sensitive parts of the machine.

3) The EMP grenade- another alternative weapon designed primarily for disabling vehicles. The EMP grenade works just like any other grenade- the grenade is armed, thrown and goes off after a short fuse. What is different about the EMP is the nature of its explosion. A trace amount of the unstable element Ununquadium is kept in the center of the grenade surrounded by plastic explosive. The plastic explosive is detonated by a short electical pulse triggered by the fuse. The explosion then blasts open the lead casing of the grenade and triggers what can be simply explained as an extremely minor nuclear explosion. The ununquadium releases gamma rays which collide with other electrons, knocking them out of their orbit of the nucleus of their respective atoms. The Gamma photons are scattered by these collisions and travel slower than the electrons they have struck and create a strong electronic field. Also, lower energy electrons are attracted to the now positive atoms and create a conduction current. This effect, or electromagnetic pulse, disables any electronics within its range. This pulse is extremely useful for disabling vehicles without destroying them. A helmet with a HUD, motion tracking,the glass eyepiece marines wear and any capabilities not purely dependent upon the wearer of powered armor are disabled when exposed to the EMP field. These devices will autoreboot after a short time, but the effect makes it impossible for a soldier to receive tactical data.

yeah I posted a more in depth description in a thread a day or two ago. Not very practical, but you can't beat electrifying somebody's brain to death.

It would be awesome for multiplayer. Spot some guy guarding the entrance to the flag and -bang- he's gone and has no idea where the shot came from. I think the shrieker would be most useful though. Would be an awesome weapon for sneaking around and going undetected. Until you snag the flag of course, heh heh.

after playing with a bottle of syrup i had a revelation. STICKY FOAM SHOOTER! that would be hilarious to see. 2-4 grunts kicking and screaming as their little boddies squirm on the ground.
