I wonder if the Covenant Sniper will look like the concept sniper for halo 1

i hope all the covenant get is the carbine...which i think has 2x magnification, the last thing i want is to get sniped out by a elite one and a half miles away

Sorry, but it's been confirmed that there is both a Covie sniper along with the Carbine. But I don't think it'll be a big deal, though it could get dangerous with Elite sniping us.

i doubt the elites will use sniper rifles. if anyone uses it, it would be the jackals

aww, well ther goes crossing open feilds without danger of getting droped by an elite(/jackle?) with a steady hand and a good shot, never thought i would end up having to countersnipe in campaign

Yeah, Jackals do have really good eye sight. But I think that it would be Elite's doing the sniping.

does anyone else agree with me that the elites would not use sniper rifles?? the jackals job description is clearly sniper/scout!! read the game manual!

i want to see new jackles, like green commando assassins, that have full body enrgy sheilds, more armor plus a smaller yet still redundant arm sheild that cary carbines and i guess sniper rifles, i always liked jackles and i want to see one that outranks the blue elites, it would be cool if there was a special assassin unit of like 25 jackles that you had to eliminate bacause they were wiping out marines left and right, i am really into this idea, ive already done some decent concept art of one and even a few scetches of a smaller then ghost covenant scout bike( simmilar to darth mauls if anyof you have seen star wars episode 1) to counter the new atv i guess

Think about it for a second, it'll add something new to campaign
mode that you didn't think you'll see before, but also, you'll be able
to use it. In Halo 1 I was greatly dissapointed with the lack of covenant
weaponry, there's not even a Needle weapon set (Think about, all needles
would be some crazy matches).


Also, I have much faith in Bungie. So its somewhat annoying when people
have comments like "the last thing I want is to get sniped out by an elite".
Anything and everything they put in Halo 2 will be awesome. They're not
going to put anything in the game that isn't awesome. This game is as much
a part of our lives as it is of theirs, and they're making sure Halo 2 will not
dissapoint.

they get paid for halo 2, i have to pay for it, but they make it and all i do is come up with ideas they will never use so i guess that makes sence, im didnt say bungie would ruin the game i just shutter at the idea of getting my head drilled by covenant sniper rounds from a mile away

I like "Tony" "Balonie" 's idea, about the jackals. Yes it does say that they make up for their physical weakness with their eyesight. Game manual tells all.

Tony is right bout the Jackels they would wield the sniper rifles and i share tonys worry about running across some open field and see a sniper bullet get lodged in my MC skull, that wouldbe frightening and at the same time be a really great rush. I would love to have a lil sniper war with a few jackels.....gives some major challenges for us Melon Burstin Snipers..lol....it would be fukkin awesome for there to be covenant snipers....a really great rush
