I would have to try out the Covenant Carbine in order to really make a decision. But right now at this point I would have to say I would still use the old school Sniper.

No, i've seen that before, but it isnt referring to the covenant carbine, that small tid-bit is referring to a different covenant sniper rifle.

Argh! I've read that there's going to be a covenant sniper weapon that's energy-based but different from the old plasma weapons. I've also read that there's a covenant weapon similar to the Humans' battle rifle. I think these are most likely to be different weapons if they both exist, since one weapon would have to be REALLY bad@$$ to fill the role of the sniper rifle AND the battle rifle. The linked PR thingy describes the battle rifle analog like a projectile weapon, which we know the Covenant to have a problem with. I don't trust it entirely anyway since it's Microsoft PR stuff.

Two Microsoft games I had my eye on during thier development had all kinds of inflated and distorted stuff released on them. I probably can't elaborate here, but I think fluffy stuff goes through way too many people before it reaches its final published format...

Edit: Just don't get too excited. All will be revealed to us after the game ships...
