You know the screen shot that came out a while ago with the two elites standing guard by the door? Well there've been several posts about what weapons they have. Some think they are railguns, some think sniper rifles, and some thought the new 'two handed' plasma rifle. Well, I am a believer now in that-the plasma rifle will be duel wielding, Simply because of the new jackal screenshot. The jackal in the foreground is holding a plasma rifle, much like the one in Halo. The one in the background is holding a plasma pistol....so....what are the weapons the elites are holding???

There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who know binary, and those who don't.

a plasma rifle will not be dual weilding i can almost assure you, because then u'd be practically a slower ghost. itd be too much firepower, and it was always a two handed weapon anyway, even if the elites never really used it that way. you're the master chief, and u always used two hands. so no dual weilding, try two plasma pistols. secondly, y would two elites guarding a door be carrying sniper rifles? seriously, u dont guard a door with snipers, u use high powered close range rapid fire rifles. not just the plasma rifle. its the covie bettle rifle. or at least thats my guess. and a rail gun, the mythical weapon of unlimited power, would be bigger than that. that'd be the equivilent of the human rocket launcher, again a bad thing to guard a door with. so not a sniper(y would u guard a door, inside a building, with snipers?), not a plasma rifle(u can tell, just look at the thing), and not a railgun(that would be big and scary). my guess- covenant battle rifle. they need a counterbalance for that anyway, so this could be the answer.

If You Saw The E3 Demo you might have seen the brutes holding the same rifle as the elites. also if you pay attention to the pre xbox halo page you may notice the elites shoot a gun that is the cross of a fuel rod gun and a plasma rifle. SO if you saw the e3 movie you will probobly see the brute shoot a blue fuel rod shot or thats what it looks like or at least thats my analysis.

I think it is a high precision combat rifle with red hot plasma bolts with a moderate range,but longer than the range to the plasma rifle(more a carabin,carbin is a weapon between pistol and rifle,i think)

I agree with lord xanatos It looks like the covenant battle rifle equivalent.

If the plasma rifle is two handed, why is the jackal holding it with one hand, and in the other hand-his shield?

I accidently voted Plasma Rifle, but I would really agree with it being something to an equivalent of the Battle Rifle.

In that picture it looks as if the elites are holding some kind of Covenant Rifle with a longer barrell, one that could be found on a sniper rifle. I have a feeling that gun you see in the picture will be neither a Plasma Rifle or Sniper Rifle, I have a feeling it will be more like a Covenant version of the human Battle Rifle, and apparently many others agree.
