The Covenant sniper is actually just the Carbine, nothing else.

No it was stated in several articles that the carbine and the sniper were not the same thing, that there was a covie sniper and the carbine but they were different

Q

What new weapons will be available in Halo 2?

A

So far there have been a few new weapons revealed. The Battle Rifle is an evolved version of the original assault rifle and features increased accuracy, a scope, and a slower rate of fire. The SMG (Sub Machine Gun) is a rapid-fire gun that trades a high volume of bullets for decreased accuracy. We have also discussed the Covenant Carbine - an energy based sniper weapon. Also, as you now know, players will be able to wield the almightly Covenant energy sword.


they are the same thing
this is straight from bungie

Exactly it aint a sniper rifle but it does have a scope, the carbine has a scope that doesnt mean it will be the sniper rifle

They are both diff, the carbine is a sniper type weapon, but not the sniper, the covie sniper looks like a long sword type thing, look in the pre-halo art, it shows elites holding them in sniper perches, look closely. :P

The thing you put up saying the carbine is a s rifle only says it is a sniper type weapon, so is the BR, and bungie said it is the covies answer to the BR

All right BUNGIE said that the carbine is the covie equivelant to the Battle Rifle not the sniper rifle, the battle rifle, thats why they call it the carbine and not the sniper

Hey mojo if you think the carbine is the covie sniper, then I guess the battle rifle is the human sniper,because they both have zoom features doesn't mean anything. The Carbine is the anwser to the BR, sooooo this means the a covie sniper is indeed in the works, the humans & covies both have the same weapons, its called BALANCE, in zanzibar it is said that elites start out w/ covie weapons, & humans start out w/ human stuff, it would be a little unbalanced if the covies didn't have a sniper, & yes I know they could pick up a human one & use it, but why when they could have their own & probally will. :P
