I cant find it, right now but you guys remember back when they first announced the carbine and put that render of it in the render section, in that article they said that the Carbine was the answer to the BR that strait from bungies mouth, and alot of the magazine articles about halo 2 said that there was a carbine and there was a sniper that the two were different, and that the carbine was the Answer to the BR. If anyone can give me the link to that bungie news announcement it would be helpfull
I am still trying to get the link

Look at the pre halo section it shows elites holding covie snipers in sniper perches. This gun will make it in halo 2 your crazy if you don't think so. Look at all the pre-halo stuff, its all making it in halo 2 - energy sword,shadow,covie bus, so why not the covie sniper??? All the other old stuff is making it into the game what makes you think that this gun won't be???

Okay, I didnt read all the posts after my first one, but one of the mods said that the Covenant sniper is infact just the Carbine, so they are one in the same.

I remember them saying that Ag. Though a sniper WEAPON is not necessarily a sniper rifle. You could call the pistol from the first a sniper weapon because it zoomed. The BR is also a sniper weapon, but it also is not a rifle; so, saying the carbine is a sniper weapon does not mean sniper rifle, or the covenant equivalent.

Gattling Gun ( Vice City Style) would be insane!, bungie has mentions there will be a weapon more devastating than the rocket launcher...and i dont think they mean the plasma sword....u guys have any ideas on what it could be?

The Bees are flooding the forum again. Let's try and keep some sane threads on top. About the brute gun, maybe it's a plasma grenade launcher, grenades could scatter and cover more area causing mucho destruction. Hmmmm, hmmm... or not. I still can't wait to use the covenant carbine. Do you think it will burst fire like the BR?

Yeah, I couldn't imagine covies using burst fire anyway. Although I do think the burst on the BR can be useful. In close combat you'll have to pull the trigger less (less soreness of the fingers haha) and if an enemy is far away the zoomed single shot makes it a very balanced weapon in my opinion. It may get some getting used to.

Maybe something like a chaingun, not something that is huge, but like the one in the halo concept sketch where he is holding a chaingun and there is an assault rifle lying on the ground cus that wasnt to big but it wasnt unreaalistic small

the covie carbine and sniper are two different weapon
in one of the screenshots two elites are holding carbines they are way to small to be snipers
i head the carbine was a gun that had clips also and it was sort of a smgish type gun

if you havent seen the E3 halo2 multiplayer demo vid, the rocket launcher now has a homing capability, the SMG is new, the needler fires faster and is "worthwhile picking up in halo2*", the battle rifle has a x2 scope, and the energy sword doesn't have fail-safes.

*there may be quite a few elites in halo 2 unless the brutes are subject to a hail of needles

If you notice in the 04 E3 MP trailer, when he fires the BR at the ghost unzoomed, its pretty much Semi-Auto, only when he presses it once does it fire 3 shots.

Also i hope that there is a Cov SR as it would make the game more balanced, and you could have a weapon set: Cov and then make it more fun than just having Plasma like in the first 1.

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.[/quote]



Covenant Carbine - an energy based sniper weapon

the statement is useing denotation-stating the word then giving a definition (like so) and it is a sniper based weapon 2 times zoom on it like the pistol had

I think the quote someone was looking for came from the XBOX.com spring guide 2004....

"....And for those looking for a new take on the Sniper Rifle, the Covenant has put its own spin on the firearm. The Covenant Sniper Rifle takes its cues from the human-created weapon, but adds on a high-powered, lightening fast energy burst to deal damage from afar."
