why does everyone compare the Covinant carbine to the battle rifle? since there is definatly going to be a Covinant Sniper rifle, and the carbine is the only thing we know about with a scope, couldn't the CC be a sniper rifle? also, the BR is basically a 2-handed pistol with a big clip, and there alredy is an equal (Plasma Pistol)
ok, sorry to say this, but you are wrong in like every point.
bungie and another game magazine have said that the Cov Carbine is the equivalent of the BR. it has a high rate of fire, so it cant be a SniperRifle, though it does have a scope[2x]. since its an equivalent to the BR, I expect it will be weaker scoped in, like the BR shoots single shot bursts. and the clip on the BR is really about the same size as a pistol, but rather than 1 bullet it shoots 3 round bursts[thats how they toned it down]. 12 shots total for either weapon. but it is 2 handed, you got that right.
the plasma pistol is definetly not the counterpart. its now dual weildable, and weak but versatile. the BR is just strong and versatile. expect to see a new pistol to be the equal to the plasmapistol.
