I've been comparing the new Chief vs. Jackals screen with the one from X03 with the Elites, seeing if it was the same kind of door. It is, but that's not the point of this post. While I was switching back and forth, I started thinking about the new gun the Elites were holding, and I remembered this from a previous update, [color=green]"He's also been working on a Covenant weapon that has been shown before ? but never discussed. The first person animation looks great, and the weapon has a zoom mode too. Nathan wants to see a really cool alien interface for the zoomed view, but that's something that's still being discussed."[/color] Basically, I think that this is that weapon. It's the only new covenant weapon that's been shown, and so that leads me to believe that this is the Covie equivelent of a Battle Rifle, seeing as how it has a zoom mode. This would suggest that others' theories that it was a sniper rifle were incorrect. I also believe that this is where the weird green plasma "bullets" in the new MP shot are from, although they could still be from an as-of-yet unseen weapon. And to explain the inaccuracy of the shots, I would say it's possible that someone is firing from the passenger seat of a moving vehicle, very hard to be accurate. That's all for now, tell me what you think.

XBL: FTG Spartan
But you were dead a thousand times. Hopeless encounters successfully won. A man long dead, grafted to machines your builders did not understand. You follow the path, fitting in to an infinite pattern.
Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.
Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.
I know who you are.
You are Destiny.

thanks man, that sounds sweet

It would be cool if it was the covie equivelant of the battlerifle. We need a covie gun with a scope.

I don't think its a covenant battle rifle. I think its a covenant sniper rifle. There has been talk of a covenant sniper rifle and I think thats what bungie is up to.

I was reading the first post if it had a zoom mode why couldn't it be a covenant sniper rifle. That sounds stupid too me what u said in that first post.

Well, the theory of the battle rifle sounds good to me. Lets put some logic to the test. Now if it was a covey sniper rifle why would they use it in a small area like that? I mean, it's possible and has been done before, but still, The br is a sound theory...

I think that the gun held by the two elites standing in front of the door is not a sniper rifle and is the weapon talked about in the update - although I can't see anything resembling a scope on it (but I supose it is alien)

I think there will also be a sniper rifle there is a pic of one in the pre-Xbox halo pics and it looks different (as it would)

anyway that's my two cents (unfortunately in Australia we have to round down/up to the closest five cents - mean my two cents ain't worth nuttin...)

thats good that there is a covie weapon I want to use. I only like the human weapons theres nothing wrong with the covie weapons there cool but the human weapons have a better feel, so a covie battle rifle would be cool if it has good accuracy
