No information has been revealed about the covie sniper(to my knowledge), so i guess nobody knows the "exactle" difference.

Yes another person that finally knows that the Covie Sniper has not been confirmed, I could kiss you... but I won't.

i could disable sheilds fo a longer period of time, and could have a really slow rate of fire? I dont know, in fact I dont think it could work, plasma is super heated gas so theoreticly the longer the distance the more time it has to cool, making it weaker.

what i would like to see would be something like a little dart hit the target... and then the victims shields would be disabled for a certain duration, or until death

something like that

I think a covie sniper would make single player less fun. You know that angry feeling you get when someone hiding in the clifftop kills you with a headshot? Imagine how boring it would be to die over and over again by one sniping elite....I really don't think there should be another sniper-weapon. So, to answer your question...I think there is no point except to make the game harder and possibly more frustrating. What do you guys think?

well i never thought it was fair to snipe those poor elites when they had no fighting chance, they should make the elites have some way of countering u

well the covys dont have to headshot u everytime. as long as we both have snipers itll work out fine. how about grunts with snipers instead of elites... that woudl make it fair

Medic 101, that would be so funny to see grunts carrying around sniper rifles! You are right though, their horrendous aim would balance it. I suppose a more accurate enemy such as a jackal could use it, but it would have to be less powerful. All I know is that I don't want to have to spend twenty minutes repeating a level to find and disable a lethal headshot-sniper.

i really doubt bungie would put in headshotting snipers... but one does not know. and i see what your getting at. i would hate to do that too...

  • 06.22.2004 9:48 PM PDT

then that kind of defeats the purpose of having it called a sniper rifle to begin with...

Whats the point of having the Needler and the SMG? They are basically the same gun and do the same things just in different ways. I assume that the two sniper rifles would have a similar relationship.

If it removed your sheilds for 30 seconds it would be overpowered remeber, it only take one plasma pistol shot to remove one health bar...

vivid_death you say you wouldn't like it but if you died a bunch but then obtained the siper rifle then imagine the ravenge! or you could tick people off by killing them over and over
