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.
