Preliminary media, such as screenshots released on Bungie.net and in major magazines such as EGM, as well as the "Et Tu, Brute?" video documentary released on XBL and Bungie.net, have shown several new weapons. Spartan Laser An anti-vehicle weapon of high power and long distance, but with long recharge time and limited ammunition. Spiker (or Spike Rifle) Apparently the default weapon for Brutes, something along the lines of the Elites' standard plasma rifle or the marines' SMG. Very likely a replacement for the red Brute plasma rifle. Spike Grenade A grenade that sticks to all surfaces and deals damage only with a specific cone around the grenade, rather than in all directions. Plasma Cannon The Brute vidoc shows a high-ranking Brute wielding a plasma weapon that looks like a turret with its base removed. Hammer Brutes in the documentary are also shown wielding a melee hammer that looks similar, although not identical, to Tartarus' special hammer, the Fist of Rukt. As a side note, some animation sequences in the Brute documentary show Elites dual-wielding swords, something that was not possible in Halo 2 without hacks.
