Bungie have only talked about the Carbine. They described it as having a scope and being the equivalent of a battle rifle.

Now every seems to believe that theres a sniper weapon just because the carbine has a scope. Im not 100% certain but there is no covie sniper, JUST the covie carbine.

Bungie have only released screenshots of the CARBINE and no other weapon so I HIGHLY DOUBT there is a two zoom sniper weapon too!


NO i know because on numorous legitament accounts they have spoke of the carbine, as you said , as the br's equivalent, and a COMPLETELY SEPARATE COV. SR, one that shoots a fast concentrated beam "awsome looking, hope they keep this in" a quote from xbox mag. june issue, as just one account, DIFFERENT, CARBINE=NOT SNIPER RIFFLE.

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.

Read the Xbox Spring Guide specifically the end of page 2 and the begining of page 3. In one paragraph they talk about the Carbine and in the next paragraph they discuss the Covenant Sniper Rifle. They describe the Covenant Sniper Rifle as using energy to deal damage which is different than the Carbine since it uses a cartridge and not energy to deal damage.

Now this does not prove the Covenant Sniper Rifle, but it does strongly hint at it.

Press scan of OXM. No mention of a covenant sniper rifle. Just the covies answer to the battle rifle.

Maybe but bungie havent even said anything about it. So I still have my doubts. It would be cool though to have another sniper rifle as a alternate choice.

Ok, the covenant sniper rifle HAS been mentioned in a small burb in OXM, and more importantly, talked about more specifically in Xbox's 2004 Summer Guide, which you can see at halo.bungie.org's press release page.

(IMO, it sounds like the UT2k3/4's lightning gun...)

Add HAVOK nuclear weapons. Im fairly certain we wil be arming one at one point in time. Wouldnt that be awsome? I sure as hell want to witness Nuclear explosion in the game. (like on the ground with the shroom).

Unless you are a world away, I think a nuke would suck. It would kill you as well. Maybe it would be a cool last weapon you get, and the ending sceen is you saving the earth and going down with it. A most honorable end.

The blurb appears at the very bottom of page 35 or 36 (I can't remember exactly), its mentioned in those teeny-tiny factoids at the bottom of every page (except ads) of OXM.

I haven't seen a scan good enough to read it.

My God, all of you have forgotten the 1 rocket, rocket launcher. You can see it in the print art section. Just in case the guy on the right, I think has a new weapon.

OXM mag quote: "We got a load of some unconfirmed weaponry like a super-powerful Covenant Sniper Rifle. With its high-powered, lightning fats energy blast, we're hoping bungie leaves this one in for good."

they state this after talking about the carbine.

they are two different weapons.

I can so see myself using that (wouldnt it be cool if you could hide somewhere in each level and whip it at the enemy base??!!!!) A clean 1 megaton blast to the sons of a -blam!-es would be AWESOME!

in a recent magazine they talked about 2! new weapons they got to use, the covenant carbine and the cov sniper rifle. one was like the BR and the otehr like the Sniper Rifle. END!

The Slugthrower is the brute weapon.

a pic said there was a flamethrower turret, like the minigun turret. if so then no handheld flamer... i htink. and of course check out the human/covenant counterpart weapons theory going around...

My guess is up to 10 weapons we have not seen. Speculation suddently become obsolete...
