No dual wielding, although this was confirmed previously
Female Spartans returning
No plan for multiplayer bots in competitive games
Easter eggs and some form of skulls returning
No “glitches” (I assume this was referring not only to game glitches such as the glitch on Nightfall which allows for a fast completion of the level, but also perhaps to those button glitches in Halo 2 while using the BR)
No plan for dedicated servers
Matchmaking will be skill based
On Skill Based Matchmaking:
Not much info in terms of matchmaking
Wish I could explain, but the podcast wouldn’t really go into much detail on it.
All it said was that they were hoping to remove that secret knowledge the more experienced players had (weapon spawns) so that new players would have a better chance.
This info was put into more detail with Frankie, saying the weapon drops weren’t really random. So far we know there’s an indicator saying that a weapon will drop in an area in 30 seconds, and that’s about it.
In terms of competitive matchmaking, they didn’t elaborate, they just kind of said it was going to be there. Hopefully more info soon.

Are you kidding me!? Armor sets as in what the Elites had in Reach? Why would they do that!?
There wasn’t really much about new stuff, but there were a few things. Here is the bulk of what was said. Edit: I just saw the above posts with info, but here is a tiny bit more.
Forge confirmed
No Dual Wielding
Female Spartans available
There will be weapon balance(so if one person has a better weapon than you at the start of the game, you will have a counter weapon for it), You can pick up the better weapons if they are dropped
MP and Campaign are connected, but the stories go in their own directions, Spartan Ops gonna be available when you buy it(Implied more info on it at E3 maybe) Has single player option
Armor customization as you advance
Skulls and Easter Eggs most likely gonna be in the game
No intentional glitches in the game
No MP bots in the game
Daily and Weekly challenges will most likely be returning
No dedicated servers
There will be a true skill system(Said it’s very complex)

They can invest there time into something more important I like that. No more annoying barbie doll competition
