Rapid fire? Are you high again?

The shotgun fires about 5 rounds in twice as many seconds.

New Weapons:

Covenant Carbine - A Covenant Battle Rifle.
Covenant Energy Sniper Rifle - As the name says.
Brute Shot - A mortar that fires 4 grenades that explode on the second impact.




Where the hell do you ppl get this -blam!- from?


That was from that thing about the German magazine. It was supposed to hold that information, and there was more than that, but so far I have seen no proof that it is true, and the guy said you can board banshees... they better not let you board banshees... otherwise I don't know if I will ever play with them, because that would just be plain stupid.


They also said you can also board the banshee while its flying.

We get this info from magazines that have actually PLAYED THE GAME!


Im still sceptical of this information. I think its strange that there is only one magazine that has printed this information, I have seen nothing in X-box magazines in England and have heard nothing from over the pond. So until Bungie confirm that its in, or I use them myself Im not gonna believe it!
BTW the Covie Carbine is a BR equivalent but has some variations

The new gun featured in OXM was the Covenant Carbine. I happen to know this gun rules because a certain User Interface Designer had designs on using it to interface with my spleen a couple of days ago. It's powerful when zoomed and very annoying and dangerous unzoomed. Think of it as the Covenant answer to the Battle Rifle, but with a few subtle differences. Which you'll find out. When you give us $50. In November.

You realize it was posted on their forum right? That means ANYONE could have posted that. We don't even have proof that he read the magazine do we?

Why would that be stupid. In MP the Banshees have a slower top speed than the Warthog. If their is no locking mechanism on the canopy then a Spartan could pull it open and get in. The only time you could get boarded is if you are near the ground running people over or hovering near a cliff.

Can you give me a link, because I checked the day of the post and there was no news about it, you think I didn't think about that?

Edit: nvm... I found it, but it still means nothing, they just said according to tempus fuigit (or w/e), and still no proof that he isn't full of crap.

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.

Of course these are others, but we can't tell you about them yet.

this was taken from the official bungie.net FAQ the carbine isthe covie sniper.

... did you not read any of these posts? BTW, they say "sniper weapon," not sniper rifle, which simply means it could be a weapon popular amongst snipers. If you noticed the pistol in Halo was also considered a sniper weapon. Why? Because it had a scope.

And about that article, even if I had the magazine I wouldn't believe it until another magazine, or Bungie confirmed it.

omg. the carbine isnt the covie sniper. the covie sniper is called the beam rifle. that was from another magazine.

  • 08.11.2004 2:41 PM PDT

SB-117

A sniper weapon is just a weapon with a scope attached to it. If you turn "no sniping" on at the gametype menu then it disables pistols too for example. The pistol isn't a sniper rifle.

God... I'm not saying the magazine is fake, I'm saying the guy may be a fake. And personally, with the information released I want him to be a fake. Tricks!?!?!?! wtf?!?!?! What kind of damn tricks, I want to know, because I don't want Halo 2 to be ruined with these kinds of things.
