The mystery weapon sounds like its being charged, then launches a bunch of little projectiles, then those projectiles explode.
Gravity rifle?

I like the looks of this tuning fork:

Falcon: http://www.bungie.net/images/Games/R.../Falcon_02.jpg
Marine: http://www.bungie.net/images/Games/R...oper_right.jpg
Sniper Rifle: http://www.bungie.net/images/Games/R...ifle_right.jpg

Plasma Pistol: http://www.bungie.net/images/Games/R...stol_left2.jpg

I really like those renders. The grunt is a little funky, but as always I'm sure we'll see multiple variants in the game. The marine does look a little generic-sci-fi, but then I saw the green eye-piece and I was brought right back to the Halo 1 days. Therefore I approve.

And <3 the tuning fork.

Heh, I played all the sounds together and it sounds like a multiplayer game.

Myth: Sketch called the Falcon, the “Warthog of the Skies.” Does that mean we’re going to get to pilot it in campaign and multiplayer?

Truth: Yup.

Fuck, that Marine makes me want to play Halo Wars

Update also confirmed they're Army...yet some use Navy ranks >.>

EDIT: the DMR and SR sounds remind of me of the days spent on firing ranges

Got them frag explosion sounds.

The Falcon is fucking sexy. I love it.
I love the classic spirit dropship, but I have to say, the height-map on the front of the forks looks fucking awful. They did that a lot in Halo 3, and it looks good from a distance, but as soon as you get anywhere near it you see bumpy pixels. Wtf. I'd rather it be flat than look like somebody scaled up an image in photoshop and then applied a bevel style to it. You guys know what I'm talking about.
Just critiquing where I see things to critique.

God damn you guys need to chill out. They already said the textures, shaders, models, and so forth are still being worked on. It was an old build. Everyone chill out for a while.

[Heathen]

I think its safe to say we have 3 frags and 3 plasmas. They say they cut spikes and fire.

[Kornman00]

I don't see why they wouldn't got back to ye ol' 4x of each grenade of Halo 1
