Weapons:
Bungie has kept its Halo 3 weapons list secret for the most part. In fact, it is speculated that if anyone releases information, that they would be fired quickly and the information changed. However, that hasn't stopped SOME people.
SMG- Possibly the most common weapon in the entire game from Halo 2 onto where the series ends. Honestly, there is little shock over its expected return. However, there is some rumors of it being more effective as a single weapon, disowning its powerful dual-wielded action. Look for some minor improvements, such as more ammo and a possible scope; but, in order to do the scope...it will lose its dual-wielding abilities.
Battle Rifle/Assault Rifle- Speculation has the BR being more like the Assualt Rifle from the first Halo. Many fans were disappointed with the Battle Rifle replacing the more effective Assault. However, Bungie is rumored to add more ammo capacity and firing range to relieve some of the disappointment.
Rocket Launcher- Expect same ammo capacity and possibly a lock-on/seeking launcher.
Sniper- Same ammo capacity and same scope...no drastic improvements. However, it could be a rare weapon in Halo 3.
Pistol- Though an easy weapon to handle, it isn't very effective. A scope may help the Pistol out, but it is uncertain whether it will be included or not.
Blade/Daggar- A melee weapon, of course, but one that many people would like to see. It has been rumored that Bungie is placing this weapon in the game to be an effective dual-wield technique with the Pistol.
Covenant weapons:
Plasma pistol- No changes are expected.
Plasma Rifle- Better fire power...but that is really all.
Needler- No drastic changes...maybe just more ammo.
Energy Sword- Isn't really expected to make a comeback...but Bungie may shock us at the last minute.
Carbine- Speculation has it not making a return...but it is really unknown at the moment. Other sources have it making a comeback if there are drastic changes to the Battle Rifle.
Fuel-Rod Cannon- May make a return, and possibly have a better aim and fire power.
Brute Weapons- It is unknown if there will be any improvements to these weapons, if they decide to return.
Plasmathrower- There have been rumors flying around about this weapon. It is like a Flamethrower from Halo PC, but will utilize plasma instead of flames. At the moment, though, there are no real details on its existence.
Banshee Rifle- Similar to the Plasma Rifle, it will be a possible replacement to the Brute Plasma Rifle. Rumors have it like a Needler, creating an explosion if there is enough plasma.
Vehicles:
There are less details about the vehicles. A Human-Ghost vehicle is expected to appear, although Bungie was suppose to add this feature in for Halo 2. Also, a Human-type Banshee is expected. All of the rest are expected to make a comback except the Wraith and Spectre, which are both to get some improvements, including a name change.
