Im making this list because I keep seeing a lot of inconsistencies and errors in other peoples posts and it is causing lots of confusion.
This is a full list of all features noted in the released footage, if you see any errors please feel free to correct me if you have evidence.
–WEAPONS–
> Human <
- Pistol
- Assault Rifle
- Battle Rifle ( now 5 shot kill and hit scan, like Halo 2)
- DMR (also 5 shot kill)
- Sniper Rifle
- Rail Gun (considered a power weapon)
- Spartan Laser
- Rocket Launcher
- Shotgun
- Frag Grenade (can carry up to 4, but that may be campaign only)
- Sticky Detonator
- Turret (it seems as though the old school heavy weapons are coming back, which i like)
> Covenant <
- Storm Rifle (fully automatic scoped weapon)
- Carbine (Looks identical to the Halo 3 Carbine)
- Plasma Pistol
- Energy Sword
- Plasma Grenade
- Needler
> Forerunner <
- Light Rifle (appears to be counterpart to the DMR, maybe slower firing but stronger?)
- Scatter Shot (5 rounds and similar to human shotgun, but the rounds bounce around corners)
–ARMOR ABILITIES–
- Hard Light Shield (projects off of Spartans arm directly infront of him. It appears as though it can break if hit enough)
- Jet Pack (seems almost identical to the Reach Jet Pack)
- Active Camo (doesnt appear to scramble radar anymore)
- Promethean Vision (for a brief period you can see enemies through walls, a direct counter to Active Camo as well)
- Thruster Pack (provides a short boost of speed moving forward, kind of like an extra bit of sprint, only seen once so far)
- Hologram
–VEHICLES–
- Falcon
- Warthog
- Mongoose
- Scorpion
- Some kind of sequel to the Elephant, quite massive actually
- Some form of Mech, but I dont think it is the Cyclops, and might be drivable
- Ghost, now shiny blue as apposed to the old purple
- Wraith
- Banshee, the design so far is looking like the stub-wing Reach version, but the concept art shows the older one
–UNKNOWN–
- No sign of any brute weapons, Hammer, Spiker, Mauler, Brute Shot and Spike Grenade
- Brute Chopper, Revenant, Specter, Prowler and Elephant not seen anywhere
- No sign of the Plasma Rifle, Plasma Repeater, Beam Rifle, Focus Rifle or Needle Rifle
- SMG and Human Grenade Launcher from Reach not seen yet
–EXTRA–
- Forerunner weapons cause enemies to disintegrate
- There is some kind of kill-reward system, as you will notice that when a player gets a kill a small circle fills
- Assassinations are now different with each weapon
- Damage Bleed-through on shields is back, not like how it was in Reach.
If you see anything ive missed please let me know. What are your opinions on the currently revealed weapons? Would you like to see the return of Brute weapons? Even if just for Forge only?
The Pistol Grenade Launcher is officially called a Sticky Detonator. Falcons have also been confirmed to at least be in the game.
Edited so my post isn’t talking about leaks anymore.
the sticky detonator seems to be the replacement of the grenade launcher
When was it confirmed that there is a thruster pack AND a jetpack? Besides that it looks good.
good thread. some of this stuff tho i hadn’t posted in my thread cuz its from leaked pics and i didn’t know if i could post leaked info. if you can i could give you the list of perks I’ve seen. and what the class load out creation looks like.
The thruster pack is shown in the new short interview. It shows a Spartan using a jet pack flying and another Spartan sprinting, then you see a big thrust shoot directly out the back of his back and he shoots forwards. The Jet Pack shoots straight down, the thruster shoots straight out.
> * Assassinations are now different with each weapon
It’s about time. What about the melees themselves? Are there 2 melee variants (H2, H3, ODST, Reach) or just one (CE)? Because I hated how random it was. Broke immersion. In Reach, I punched when I wanted to hit with the pistol. In CE, it was the same melee everytime and I loved it.
I didnt bother with the Perks, because they havent really been shown officially. Ill be fie without the perks list, but if you have any other info im missing please share it.

well the regen field and sentry haven’t been announced or shown but you posted them. anyway if you don’t want the perks the best i could tell you is how load outs are set up.
Primary weapon:
Secondary weapon:
Grenade:
personnel drop: (you know the ORD drop we’ve heard about?)
AA:
Abilitiy: (AKA the perks)
In my original post i included the perks. Then i removed them but forgot the leaked abilities. So i have since then gone back and removed the abilities. I am quite interested in the Ordinance drops however. Maybe we get to pick which weapon we get in the drop? So we kind of earn a power weapon???

yes your basically earning a power weapon. That circle that fills up I’m assuming is how many kills till you get to call in the drop.
> * Assassinations are now different with each weapon
I know the Assassinations look different, but are you sure they’re different with each weapon? (It sounds kind cool, though.)
how about confirmed characters and enemies?
When and where was it stated that the BR is now a 5-shot kill? I’ve been hearing this a lot lately but I haven’t gotten the chance to see the proof for myself. Link anyone?
I dont have a link, but i remember Frankie (i think) saying it was a 5 shot kill now
