in one of the e3 videos I saw a group of elites with these purple guns. Does anyone know what type of gun it is.....a energy sniper rifle maybe?

I think you are talking about the covie carbine.

They want the 'Halo.' But I tell them: 'No! No Halo! For you, only the 'Frenzy'! The 'Frenzy' and maybe some 'Munch'

That is the covenant carbine. It's the equivelant of the battel rifle, but it wasn't in the E3 demo.

Its called the Covenant Carbine, not much is known about this...yet. But it is supposedly a Covenant Sniper Rifle, also I've heard rumors it shoot projectiles, but then again, its a rumor. That's about all I knoww of the Carbine. If I'm wrong,please correct me.

i thought the carbine was like a battle rifle rather than a sniper rifle which is something else entirely (if it exists). i have no idea what it actually shoots

yes it is a Covenant Carbine. Bungie and XBM did an sub-article on it in the latest issue. It fires projectiles and is sort of like a Covenant sniper or a battle rifle. It does fire the projectiles and ejects spent shell casings. That's all I know, according to the XBM article.

Those dont look liek snipers to me. They look like plasma riffles with barrels. The sniper is clear i think. Or from what Ive heard, and its a purpleish color. I dont know.
