Subject: Covenant Carbine = Covenant Sniper???

I'm not sure if anyone has discussed this yet, but I thought I would point out this video at gametrailers.com. While watching the video, which is titled "Evolution of Halo," I noticed something interesting. At around 8:15 in the video, Bungie staff members display the different weapons in an early build of Halo. The first weapon shown mirrors the image of the Covenant Carbine. The Bungie staff in the video refer to it as "the old alien sniper weapon." The last I heard about the Covenant Carbine, was that it was an equal to the Human battle rifle... that was from the June OXM Halo 2 article.

Here are links to the video, and a picture of the Covenant Carbine. Judge for yourself:)

With what was told in the June OXM, and how they compared it to the Battle Rifle, I know at least it's safe to say that the Carbine is an alien rifle, and an equivalent of the new rifle

But, that doesn't mean that it's the new long-range rifle for the Covenant. If you take a look at this, it seems to talk about two different new weapons, the Carbine and a new sniper rifle, which hasn't been revealed to us yet

Ya, they just don't want to show the new sniper rifle cause of anticipation.

I can't argue with that.
I just thought it was weird how the two weapons looked "almost" exactly alike?
