Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

Ok, if this has been covered I'm sorry but I did not see it.

Now I know this was a debate a long time ago but, it seems that the rumored Covie Sniper is actually the new Carbine. I would've said no until I read the faqs, when the question was posed,

Q

What new weapons will be available in Halo 2?

A

So far there have been a few new weapons revealed. The Battle Rifle is an evolved version of the original assault rifle and features increased accuracy, a scope, and a slower rate of fire. The SMG (Sub Machine Gun) is a rapid-fire gun that trades a high volume of bullets for decreased accuracy. We have also discussed the Covenant Carbine - an energy based sniper weapon. Also, as you now know, players will be able to wield the almightly Covenant energy sword.

Of course these are others, but we can't tell you about them yet.


As you can see it says an energy based sniper weapon. Perhaps this is the Covie Sniper then, although I wonder why they call it a Carbine then.

Well so can the BR.... but I would not consider it a sniper weapon.

well on halo in multiplayer, if you choose the weapon set that says no sniping, it takes out the pistol. so because you have a scope and can zoom in its considered a sniping type weapon.

they're 2 different weapons, all scoped weapons (except rockets) are under the sniper catagory

you could snipe with the rocket but it would be strange and only effective at short range.
