I have herd people saying that the Covie Carbine is the Covie Sniper Rifle well it is not and i know that Bungie said that it is a sniper type wepon but they also said that it is the Covies answer to the Battle Rifle so if can not be the Covie sniper they call it a sniper type because it has a scope TRUST ME THE CARBINE IT IS NOT THE COVIE SNIPER

Really, I thought it was, it said that in the OXM, and I haven't heard anything else. Are you sure? If so, I'd be interested in this.

It probaly fires like a battle rifle but it has a scope like the sniper rifle that zooms farther than a battle rifle. I don't know, i guess we'll just have to wait.

I am sure because, if the Carbine is the Covie Sniper than the Battle Rifle is the Human Sniper Rifle and i have other sources *cough*

The Covie Sniper Rifle was left out of the first game. I doubt they'll put it in the second. Just count on the Carbine.

or it could be both, when not zomed in it could be a like a plasma rifle and when zoomed it could be as strong as a plasma pistil

Good point Fox. It would be really -blam!- to have the exact same weapon except it's Covenantanized. (Is that a word? It is now.)

Creating a new, useable word is usually a sign of intelligence.......there are exceptions....

Technically that's not the first game, it looks like that's before Xbox, maybe not. But either way...

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

Here check out the bottom of page 2 and the top of page 3. It first discusses the Carbine then in the next paragraph begins to talk about a Covenant Sniper Rifle.

Mmm...so it does exist. The Covie sniper rifle. See what I get for never looking at the Pre-Xbox pics. But just because it exists doesn't mean I have to agree it's going to be in the game. Even if it makes it, I really don't think the Covies need an answer to everything.


I take that back, after some research, I've seen that the Covenant do actually have an answer to most of our weapons. What do ya know.
