Subject: Covanent sniper confirmed

gamer tag: CrazyChinchilla

At best buy there was a catalog that talked about halo 2 it compared the BR and covanenet carbine and then it talked about the answer to the human sniper as being a covie sniper that fires a lightning fast energy bolt

I need more evidence first. I want Bungie to end the confusion and just confirm it on the site, so we're not just relying on Best Buy.

I'd wait till Bungie confirms it which will probably be Nov. 9th.
I have heard that though in OXM they talked about it, but were unsure if bungie was going to keep it.

I know that the Covies have their own Sniper, I just want Bungie to confirm it before I believe anything anybody else says.

From what I have heard, the Covie sniper has infinite ammo, but is heats up like a mofo.

I hope the Covies do, cos I'm considering joining one of the Elite clans that only use Covenant weaponry, and if there's no Covie sniper I loose the best aspect of my game in that Clan!
(Discalimer: If anybody considering setting up a clan like this see's this post I can assure you I am also good using any other weapon in the game, Im no one trick pony!)

I'd just wait for Halo 2 to come out and find out what's in it.

  • 08.01.2004 3:44 PM PDT

Theres not an equal for every weapon. The only equal (which we dont really know because they could be completely different as weve not seen it in action) is the BR-CC. The covenant sniper was only mentioned once in a little xbox catalogue. Bungie has yet to confirm its existance. And finally, theres more weapons unmatched than matched and half of them don't even fit together. Oh and by the way, there may not be a magnum too, it was mentioned in the books but lots of things were mentioned in the books that might not be in halo2.

yeah but both sides will have different weapons that have differnet abilities. So its not like the spartans have all the good weapons and the covenant have these -blam!- plasma guns. BUT WE SHALL SOON SEE IN 99 DAYS !!! MUAHAHAHAH!!!!!

There was also a Xbox catalog that says the same thing maybe that's the one your talking about. Notice it's Microsoft's official catalog so I'd take it pretty serious. Also there rumours floating around that the covie sniper rifle was in the beta test along with the new pistol.

That and ANYONE who read enough about Halo 2 would have already realized that the Carbine was the equivalent of the Battle Rifle this has been stated by numerous sources including Bungie.

They don't want to, that's for sure. I myself usually resort to using "Covies" instead of Covenant, but at least I'm not spelling the original word wrong.
