I thought the Covenant Carbine was a sniper rifle. Then again, somewhere else I heard it was the Covenants' answer to the Battle Rifle. Either way, I don't wan't the Covenant having Sniper Rifles. In Halo, I loved using my handy little pistol to massacre a whole Covenant troop, watching them run in circles, helplessly, as their weapons bolts would dissapear before they hit me. (I am talking about the second level Halo, at the very beggining where the dropship lands near the pod, and I am across the bridge dropping the grunts like little flies. . .)
Oh, but yeah, Halo 2. I guess it would be cool to have Covenant snipers, of course, they would be no challenge for me to take out. But for the marines that totey about flailing their arms everywhere, well that is a different story. Actually they would be kinda hard to hit. . . but in reality, the Marine and Covenant AI is much better and more smart, so it might be more fair. Just thinking back to Halo when I have a Sargeant with a sniper rifle in the side passenger seat, those Covenant could have quite good sniping AI. Man, those marines with those snipers. . . Even when I was barraling around in circles they shot out and hit those covenant square in the forehead.
BUT that is the sniper rifle. I am sure there are going to be many cool guns in Halo 2 that we haven't seen, plus all the kick@ss ones we already have seen. Either way, I am bouncing off the walls for all those new guns. Can't wait to try em all out!
