The German magazine update at HBO states that the covenenat carbine is an energy weapon AND that there is a sniper rifle. If that is so, this means that the carbine we have seen is not a sniper weapon. Or that it is not the carbine.

The carbine that you have seen is not the sniper. The sniper looks drastically different, at least in the beta.

If the mag is true it simply means that the Carbine is not THE alien sniper weapon, it still has a scope however, much like the BR

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. [color=red]We have also discussed the Covenant Carbine - an energy based sniper weapon.[/color]

if you watch the Halo 2 documentary Video, at about 2:52 on Jason Jones' computer behind him, you see a UNSC soldier holding a purple gun that looks similar [but not identical] to the S2-AM UNSC Sniper Rifle. Its been discussed before, but i dont remember the link to the scrnshot they made. . .

It's a sniper weapon because it has a scope, much like the Pistol was a sniper weapon in Halo cause it had a scope, it's not, however, THE Covie sniper, that's another weapon.

After looking at the time told, I see what your talking about, but to me, it looks as if it's something in the bqack ground, like a banshee or something.
