Sorry if this has been mentioned before. But after watching the E3 2003 trailer again when MC is in the pelican with the ODST’s. If you watch closely just after you hear sergeant Johnson say ‘get tactical marines.’ The ODST’s start to gear up. The interesting thing I noticed here is a new weapon one of the ODST’s has which I have never seen before. If you are unsure which weapon I am talking about it is white colour and bigger than the battle rifle. It shows an ODST reloading it. Check it out.

I don't see it....
Edit: Wait, I see it. Nice find, buddy. I think it's the sniper rifle?

good find!

It doesn't look much like a sniper rifle to me, more like a white coloured battle rifle variant. It has a green strip on it which is interesting.

It might be a new weapon but the gun seems to match the ODST's armour colour too.

I don’t think it is the sniper rifle. If you have seen the screenshots from E3 insider website from E3 2004 it shows the sniper rifle being used. It looks nothing like that weapon but more like the sniper rifle form the first halo.

WAIT! I know what that white gun is! It is the sniper rifle! You know that sniper and the spotter earlier in the trailer? His sniper rifle has a white bottom.

Hey does that mean there is at least two different types of sniper rifle? Because if you have seen the screenshots of the sniper rifle from e3 2004 it is different from this one.

That is a very good question. But since I can't answer you, I will now bite your head off.

Does any one know what that gun is on the back of the pelican is when they get off of the craft? It is behind the MC.

Someone said earlier that it was a Flamethrower or a big machine gun thing.

Yeah I saw it. It was white and gray I think. I'm sure it was some sort of battle rifle.

IT IS A SNIPER RIFLE. the snipers who say "recomend mission abort" have the same gun.

I found this a year ago. Its the Sniper Rifle. Its not a Battle Rifle, look where he reloads it the magazine goes into the gun before the trigger and grip. It has a scope, it's stock is the same colour as the sniper rifle in the clip of the men on the ground - it reloads in the same area... Its the Sniper Rifle.

I doubt its a flamethrower, they're good up close; on the back of a ship it would be pretty pointless! So I'm guessing its similar to the Human gun turrets!

I can't believe you guys, this is old news, its already been confirmed its a sniper rifle.
The best way to compare is look at that earlier second screenshot where there is a group of red spartans running while blue spartans are shooting and you just have to zoom in on the sniper beside the guy falling.

guys it is definitely a sniper rifle
If u look at the recon marines the one with the sniper has a new handle.
The odst's "new" gun hass exactly the same handle.
Take a guess

Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.

Im just wondering something at like 3:04 min in Sargent banks says "bring smoke" over and then the air plays come what does smoke mean.
