So, we know at least one more type of Heavy weapon, A Rail gun, exists,

I'm hoping for some more variety in the primary and secondary. Where are the SMGs, are they now just a variety of auto rifle? What about a semi auto pistol? What about crazy things, like Reach's amazing nade launcher. What about non hitscan weapons like plasma rifles? There's a lot of room to expand here, though I guess each weapon type creates an exponential growth in terms of balance.

I'd guess we have 90% of the "Types" for destiny, and we'll see 1-2 new weapon classes per expansion/mainline iteration.
