I don't want to sound like some neerd speculating (although i did a bit on my last post) but i wounder if any of those guns on the cover (which i think are the MA2Bs from early in the series) are going to be in halo 3? Some said to me it could be a replacement for the SMG. I said NAARRR! For starts it isn't a SMG. It looks more like a LAR (or light assault rifle for those who don't speak army) or a carbine. However do we realy need another rapid fire bullet spewing gun? I'm sure that the guys at bungie being so greate as they are (don't mistake the compliment for sarcasm bungie) would probably give it some special feature such as being able to change the rate of fire or something.
