Does anyone know what the covenant's sniper rifle will look like? What does it shoot; plasma probably but isn't plasma a little bit slow?

Not really. Plasma can be accelerated through the use of more powerful magnets and such.

In the knew OXM issue it says that it fires cartridges of some sort that are ejected like a human weapon.

I am not quite sure don't quote me on this, but I heard that the covie sniper rifle acts like a super acclerated needler. and fires the required 8 or 10 or so needles almost instantaneously and the effect is basically instant death, as with what would happen when u would inject 8 or so needles into those poor elites in the first game

Doesn't sound right... That seems horribly un-balanced...

no, i think your thinking of the halo 2 mod by nitrousoxide...am i gonna get in trouble for saying that? i didnt say it, my hacker said it who hacks into my computer every once in a while.

but anyways, i dunno bout the covie sniper. i really hope there isnt one. its not that i dont like snipers its just that...umm..uhh..oh yeah! i think 2 sniper rifles in one MP game makes an amazing advantage to good snipers and a horrible disadvantage for bad snipers...

You should be able to control the beam (too an extent) just like the big ships do. Like you could have it go over a peice of cover and direct it downwards to hit the guy hiding behind it.
just a thought
