There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who know binary, and those who don't.
if they're gonna have a covie sniper(and they prolly will) then for all purposes it would have to be a lot different than the original human one. the original halo had all of eight weapons. bungie is NOT going to make a new weapon like a covie sniper that operates anything like the human one. it would be a duplicate. from halo, we can see that bungie would not idly put in a duplicate weapon, one that for all intents and purposes is the same, roughly, as another, simply because it is a waste of time and energy. so instead they'll have the covie sniper be really interesting, like it shoots a single needler shot at really high velocity or sumthing, mildy homing, leaving no trail, but considerably weaker, also possibly with a much larger clip. or maybe a giant laser beam, so that u cant miss, but u only get one shot. perhaps thats just wishful thinking. either way it'll be something different. anyway, the covenant have general weaponery which can be used in any situation, thats just how they work, while humans have all the specialized stuff that works really well for one thing but not so well for another. it is therefor easy to assume that any sort of covenant sniper would actually be somewhat well rounded, with a larger clip and automatic or semi-aauto rate of fire, and that homing ability would come in handy for closer ranges where targets dodge more erratically. that, or it could be extremely rare. eiter way, if u really want to find something along the lines of what the new weapons might be like, u'll have to look at it from one of two points- that of the developer bungie and why they would need this new weapon and how it could be different, or that of the covenant, and how they would use this new weapon, how it would affect their tactics and whether or not they would actually use your idea.
