the way the editors at OXM and the other various magazines described the covie carbine was that it is just an alien looking battle rifle........ whats the point of having this weapon if there already is a weapon just like it....... its becomes just a matter of color preference and style........ hopefully the carbine is a lot more interesting than it is described as or they should just remove it........ exemple: sniper rifle... covenant sniper rifle... same thing just different title and style

someone please tell me halo 2 wont be like this? (not that im not an adoring fan of this game, im just wondering)

saying the carbine is like the battle rifle doesn't mean anything. Pistol/Plasma Pistol from Halo, 2 completely different things. I think the carbine will make a great addition to the weapons in H2.

it will probobly balance out. there will be somethings the battle rifle can do and the carbine cant, and vice-versa. the same will probobly apply with the 2 snipers.

im sortof hoping that the covenant sniper weapons will have some sort of different vision mode to make them more interesting like thermal vision(heat vision for the idiots), electromagnetic(active machinery), motion (like splinter cell) or maybe spartan vision (explains itself)............. keep the comments coming

Bungie likes to balance weapons out by making a similar weapon for each race which IMO is great b/c it makes the gameplay better.....I think the Covie Carbine will be a favorite amongst many players
