The new weapons in Halo 2 are going to rock plain and simple. Heres a few i was able to find:
Brute Grenade Launcher: Though it hasnt been officially relesed by Bungie as a weapon its mentioned in Halo:First Strike when the Master Cheif and his squad of spartans infaltaite the Covenent Control station. It fires a ball of plasma that travels much like the Fuel Rod Gun, but goes in a straight line until it hits some thing, then it detonates much like or a plasma grenade. The only other evidence to back it up is a screen shot of two elites from a spartans HUD, in the back ground you can see a plasma explosion that is larger then a lone grenade.
Covenent Plasma Sword: Its big, its bad, It'll cut you in two faster then a sniper round through a Grunt. Nuff said its gonna rock like no other.
Duel Weilding: Not a weapon but it still will be an important part of combat.
This breifings over Marine now get your ass back to the barracks and get some shut eye, your gonna need it. The covies dont take prisinors and that goes double for us!

Actually, the marines WOULD take prisoners but they CANT cuz they suck to much and get owned by butterflies, thats why they know nothing about the covenant except for they want all of us dead and have un-rechargeble guns.

i wonder if the brute weapon fires the weird green, glowing shots seen in that one multiplayer spartan vs spartan pic. it's the one where it shows a mc running away guns ablazing while those weird shots chase him. and no, i'm not talkinga about the plasma pistol's charged-up shot.

Don't forget that awesome Magnum like pistol also mentioned in First Strike, it sounds pretty sweet, and I bet it's gonna be in Halo 2. I almost guarantee that anything mentioned in First Strike will be in Halo 2.

Yeah as far as any screenshots of Brute weapons are concerned, there are none, plain and simple. They mentioned in the last update that they're still working on animations for models other than brutes using brute weapons, so they wouldnt have been used anywhere yet.

I'm pretty sure it's the Covie Carbine firing....look here. Either that or the newly announced Covie Sniper, of which there is no pic. It's not the Brute Gun, unless they've drastically changed how it fires...watch the E3 2003 demo when they fire, looks nothing like that screen.

Right, ever seen a little thing called E-3 2003 Halo 2 single player demo. They showed the brute's gun there, although it wasn't close up.

How do you?

the covie sniper rifle sounds cool but what about a heavier needler anti tank perhaps or even a plasma rifle with plasma bayonet on the end.

What are the weapons they are carrying in the elites in front of doors picture? (H2)

He throws down the clip and uses one hand for each gun. Takes him forever to reload though, which balances it out.

that elite weapon is called the covenant carbine. the OXM article confrims this.

as for the brutes guns, i'm alsmot positive you can use them, especially after frankies last update. i wonder it they're dual-wieldable?

Lord I hope not. We don't need dual grenade launchers. Just one of those tore threw a single Spartan no problem, we don't need to be carrying two of them.

considering we basically have no idea of what projectile the brute weapon shoots isnt it a bit proposterious that we we're jumping to conclusions- i say wait till the game comes out and lets find out then?

Read First Strike. It clearly states that it is a high-impact grenade launcher.

Wouldn't it be hard to hold and operate a grenade launcher with one arm? You can only dual-wield one-handed weapons. From what I've seen of grenade launchers, you need the butt against your shoulder and both arms on it. Then again, it may be too heavy for a human to lift with one hand.

My guess is no, no dual-wielding with the grenade launcher.

Crimtonic play the game alright? There is no Fuel rod cannon in Multiplayer. okay? I personally think that they will have the plasma rocket launcher which the grunts use later in Halo.(Two betrayals,Maw,Keyes)

Is the battle rifle a two handed weapon? Cos just from looking at it it looks small enough to be dual wielded, obviously if it was it would negate the zoom function!
