Interesting. It seems the old pistol is back, but I'm 100% sure they've made it weaker than in Halo 1, but hopefully not as weak as Halo 2.

And dang, the sniper rifle just LOOKS powerful. Can't wait to use it. . .

M6D?  :D :D :D

As soon as I saw that word I crapped my pants.  Well then, if it's back, we can ditch the battle rifle, along with the SMG since the AR is back as well.  Yes, the BR was supposed to be a more "realistic" replacement for the M6D, and the SMG was supposed to replace the AR.  The M6C "Magnum" (snort) is just some kind of watergun they decided to put in just for the hell of it.  I hope the M6D isn't made into a Halo 2-ized spray-and-pray gun.  The same goes for the rest of the guns, and I hope they fix those that are.  I have to say though, by the looks of this, Bungie may have gotten their act together.  :dance:

The dual-wielded weapon they show at 0:51 looks like the shotgun from Marathon (one of Bungie's pre-Halo games), but it looks to be a machinegun. O_O

Can't wait to play the beta!

I don't know how you can call the Halo 1 pistol balanced, or even slightly-balanced. It was really, really unbalanced, and needs changes. I will admit that the Magnum was worthless, so they need to beef it up a bit, but it still needs to be weaked considerably. It shouldn't be able to take down people with, say, a Battle Rifle or Assault Rifle, or basically any other gun. I guess it should help you stand a chance, but not easily beat other weapons, like it was in Halo 1.

Yeah, I'm thinking 4 or 5 headshots would be a good kill, just as long as they tone down the auto aim from Halo 2, it should be fine.  I think if you can score headshot after headshot with a pistol against someone with a "better" gun, you deserve the kill.  And if they're going to keep the battle rifle, why bring back in the M6D?  They're basically the same gun.

I just watched the video again.  As far as I can tell, it still has Halo 2's narrow view.  :'(

The dual wielded weapons were Spikers, Brute SMG-like weapons.

Cool.  I'm more interested to see how the story develops rather than multiplayer.  I'm reading Ghosts of Onyx right now, and it deals not only with the Covenant civil war, but also with the awakening of Forerunner technology across the galaxy due to Halo 04's activation.  I can't wait to see how Halo 3 works on that, and hopefully the other Spartans make an appearance.

I can see the spartans not appearing. Everyone who only played the games would be like, "Who the !@#$% are these guys?". Although, it would be cool to actually have cover from SMART AI.

 BTW: Ghosts of Onyx is one of the best books in the series. It comes in second on my list because it dosen't explain Halo 2. (Like The Flood did.)

Bungie has already said that the books based on the games, not the other way around.
