Here is proof form FAQ "The Marines will also know how to call in support from a Warthog or point out an enemy sniper for an ally to take down."

I don't think it'd be Covenant. The only projectiles the Covenant use are Needlers, and they travel far too slow to be used in a sniper, same thing with Plasma. Unless they make a new gun with a new projectile, which would contradict the Covenant's superior weapons to the humans.

Rememeber in The Flood? When the Captain's "party" gets captured, the one Elite takes an M6D and shoots someone in the head, then says:
"Projectiles...very primitive."

There might be Covenant sniper rifles, but we do not know. The quote could have been talking about a Jackal with a charged up Plasma Pistol. Those things go pretty far.

Dude. There is a high chance the Covenant will have a Sniper Rifle of some construction, possibly the equivalent of the Battle Rifle - Assualt/Sniper Rifle. It will probably propel plasma of some kind, or whatever. There was already a screenshot of what it would look like, thank god the modeling scheme for it was scrapped in the end, so I'm looking forward to the new ghetto styled one. IF it shows up, which I bet is the case.

I am almost positive there will be a covenant sniper rifle. my friend once showed me a halo2 site with a whole bunch of news on halo2 talked about the prophets battle rifle and a whole bunch more, it talked about the brutes and everything it also talked about how the covenant have some new or upgraded weapons such as the covenant sniper rifle.
i wish i could find that site again, but if i do i'll be back to post it. it was a good site and very accurate from what i've seen in halo2 demos

The Sniper Rifle in that Screenshot almost looks like a Plasma Rifle with a barrel attached. But the Plasma Rifle from a distance would be way to inaccurate.

Some believe that a weapon shown at a European game show (Much like E3) was a Covenant sniper rifle. There is a picture of it in the B.net Halo 2 picture archives, go look and decide for yourself.

Other than that, no confirmed Covenant sniper. Only rumors, really.

Nice eyes, I've read both articles and over looked that. Who knows remember the covenant are "Imitaters not Inovators" they could use a projectile weapon, such as a sniper rifle, because theyre getting there ass kicked with it.
