I dont think there is another Covenant sniper because in the Halo 2 faq it says - We have also discussed the Covenant Carbine - an energy based sniper weaponI think that is the weapon everyone is thinking about. They just think its something else because they dont consider the carbine a sniper weapon (even though it does have a scope)

Well I've seen a pic of the old covie sniper rifle for the older version of halo and it looks pretty crapy, looks like a sword but if it did look different I still wouldn't be very excited, doesn't seem Haloey

See i've heard that the carbine is the covies answer to the new battle rifle and the covie sniper is the answer to the uh... well human sniper.

Its not what I am thinking of. MS has given us evidence that there will be a different Covenant Sniper Rifle in their Spring Guide.

[color="violet"]And for those looking for a new take on the Sniper Rifle, the Covenant has put its own spin the firearm. The Covenant Sniper Rifle takes its cues from the human created weapon, but adds on a high-powered, lightning-fast energy burst to deal damage from afar.[/color]

Most likely Bungie will end up putting a Covenant Sniper Rifle into the game because it would even out the sides and give a little bit more diversity into blowing off your opponents head from a mile away. Plus the Bungie fans want a Covenant Sniper Rifle and Bungie is deticated to its fans.

If Bungie does make varients for all the Human and Covenant weapons, they could create a gametype of Spartan Vs Elite where you are only allowed to use the weapons and vehicles of your own race. I think that could be very fun and would give you a reason to choose one over the other.
