Ok since the carbine hasn't come out no one can really tell which is better. So will you keep your trusty tried and true sniper rifle or trade it in for the new and improve super sleek carbine.

I voted for the carbine because it looks cooler.

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

The Carbine is the equivalent of the Battle Rifle. The Covenant will most likely have a sniper rifle similar to the human one but the carbine is not it.

Obviously of the two choices the Carbine is a better sharp shooter since it is meant for both short range combat and zoomed in sniping (probably 2x zoom).

The Carbine and the Covenant Sniper Rifle are 2 different weapons.

I've been a sniper since QuakeWorld Team Fortress...

So I'm going with the sniper rifle obviously...

Um, I'm definitely going to TRY the covenant sniper rifle thingy, but it doesn't mean that I'm going to just completely drop the human sniper rifle. Honestly, I only use the sniper rifle in AotCR at the part where you go in with the tank and there are two elites waiting for you, and in the Truth and Reconciliation. I refuse to pick up the rifle in Multiplayer. If I start getting sniped a lot, I just whip out my pistol and head to wherever the guy was sniping me from. Not that hard to find them when the bullets leave that massive trail behind.
