Ok i hear alot of people talking about a covenent carbine that is counter to the battle rifle, Is it the weapon in the screenshot with the two elites by the door? if it is has anyone actually seen it fired or a first person screen of it? and if not that does any body know what it shoots?

It is the one in that screenshot.

Here is a page from the June issue of OXM with a picture and a description of the weapon.

Yup, thats what the elites are holding in front of the door. I didnt get to go to E3 (what with the whole "another country" thing) so i didnt get to use it. We havent heard anything else about it, apart from it have a scope.

Yes, those are carbines in that screenshot. And no there hasn't been any first-person screens of it yet because bungie is still working out and balancing it. But i would imagine it shoots plasma, maybe at a super high velocity, and i do know it ejects the magazine after its depleted so its magazine fed.

We dont really know, but i doubt it shoots needles being as the needler is the only weapon that does that. Maybe its sort of like a covenant assault rifle, because i remember reading the article and they said the elites from halo were paying attention to it.

I just looked and i didn't. one possibility might be that team x-box.com


And it was only one shot in about 3secs begining at the video.

And i found it actually here(from the forums)

I try to find it and send a link.

I found it go to http://www.gametrailers.com/e32004.html Scroll down to H2 and take the kikizo movie. With both supported (quick time windows media) I am not sure if that is the carbine or rocket but don't know.I think it is carbine beacouse of bullet traveling speed.
And i would be grateful if some1 would have Hi-res Version of it.

That's not a Carbine. The Carbine was not in the Multiplayer Demo at E3. It is a Rocket, it's pretty obvious too.
