Simple answer: No.
Long answer possibly either middle of season or (more likely) beginning of season 3.
If they were going to add a weapon it is likely they would’ve already hinted as such, so don’t get your hopes up here.

I think they will probably add 1-2 weapons per season (some seasons will probably not have weapons of course)

I don’t understand why they locked it at 30fps on XB1. Halo 5 runs extremely smooth at 60fps, and quite honestly when it comes to shooters fps is much more important than high resolution and pretty graphics.
I own an XB1, but never play Infinite on it. If I want to play Infinite I boot up my PC.

Halo 5 was built for the Xbox One, while Halo Infinite was built for the Series X and PC. Backwards compatibility was likely a stretch due to scalpers making it borderline impossible for people to get an S/X, and they’ll likely drop Xbox One support within 3 years. Most games drop legacy support over time.
Understandable, but it would have been preferred if the resolution were capped rather than the frame rate. Halo 5 was released about 7.5 years ago and it runs at 60 fps on XB1.
I would rather play the not-so-pretty E3 build at 60fps than the current one at 30fps (assuming it’s not any buggier). IMO, that should have been the XB1 build if it were possible to have 60fps.
30fps is unacceptable for an FPS game in 2022.
Summary
Please Note:
fps = frames per second
FPS = first person shooter

I don’t understand why the E3 build is not in the game, like, that could’ve been “ultra-low” graphics settings.
All it would’ve done is let more people get the game and perhaps spend money on it, lol

Do I think we will get one? No, not at all.
But if we did, I want the beam rifle so they can add Team Snipers as it was.
This is 343i we’re taking about. They’ll reuse models and assets for as long as they can, so the chances of getting a new game mode let alone a weapon is slim. Hell, we’re just now getting new multiplayer maps in Season 2
Can confirm. Just played Halo 4 yesterday, and it really sucks. I literally never pick it up now unless there is no other option. The Light Rifle is way better in that game.

Halo 4’s sandbox made it so it was “Accurracy Weapons or Bust” in PvE encounters.
PvP was a bit more balanced… save for the Suppressor being a waste of development resources and the Boltshot being OP until June 2013 weapon tuning.
The Marauder from Halo wars 2 could fill the role of the Revenant and looks better, in my opinion. I miss the covenant carbine but I would most want the Brute plasma rifle and a ultra plasma rifle variant. What the Banished most seem to be lacking is the SMG role which is currently only held by the needler.
I do hope the DMR returns and exists alongside the Commando because I like them both. What I most want for the UNSC is the Spartan Laser.

Yes. Add to that disabling grapple if you hold the sword, and maybe hammer too.
