were talking about the jackal, that is a plasma pistol cause its a little green like the plasma pistol the only weapons the jackals can hold are plasma pistols plasma rifles and needlers, Carbines are too handed weapons the only elite is only holding it with one hand cause hes carring it if he had to shoot it hed have to use 2 hands.

It looks too large to be a plasma rifle... but too small to be a carbine... plus, I don't think they could use a carbine with one hand... so that rules that out.


the covie carbine is duelable so i think u can use it wit one hand :)


the covie carbine is not dualweildable its been said that it wasnt a loooooong time ago to its not the carbine its the plasma rifle

There's alot ot see in this one screenshot.

First off, there's a grunt behind the elite...he appears somewhat smaller than his Halo 1 brother. (it could be a jackal, but I'm almost certain it's a grunt.

Note the Forerunner architecture. Those doors are transparent, perhaps so something could penned up in that room and observed..

Beautiful models.

Seems kind of odd the elites would carry a weapon with good range in such a small space. I'm thinking the carbine does something out of the ordinary when it's not zoomed... It would make sense if it shot in bursts like the battle rifle...but we don't need 2 guns that do the same thing. Maybe it performs like a shotgun...but that doesn't seem likely.

4 months until release and we still have so many questions... That's a beautiful thing.

Grunt did you read the topic? did you see all the screens of it zoomed in? Its a needler..Look at the link in my above post.

If you dont want to do that. Save the picture go into paint and then zoom in for youself
You can see 1 pink round sticking out of the gun at an angle if you zoom.

Proof that the gun is the needler. Look at the very bottom middle pic, the one with the red MC's... one of them is holding a needler, you will notice the same green thing on the bottom.

Discussion over, its the needler.

ITS A NEEDLER

have you seen the new Halo 2 needler its longer than the Halo 1 needler.. Also if you look near the jackals wrist you can see the needlers "spikes". Ive seen a screen shot of the jackals holding a plasma rifle also.. i doubt theyd let them use the carbine..

so just use the process of elimination: 1) not a plasma pistol- its too long, 2) not a plasma rifle- has spikes, 3) its a needler

also i see no green tinge that you speak of. The only green tinge i see is from the damn sheild.. calm your asses down and think

Duh It's not a needler a needler is much shorter and compare it to the gun the elite is holding the carbine so it can't be either i think it is a new gun

No you fools!! Don't revive this thread, no ones gonna win because people are in denial that it is a needler. And I don't think Bungie would let a new gun simply "slip" in like that, they are much more cautious than that.
