In that german xbox zone magazine's halo2 beta report, they mention the Covenant Carbine as the Battle Rifle equivalent, but they also have word of a Energy sniper rifle that is a completely different weapon than the carbine. I wonder what it looks like... There will most likely be more leaked screens between now and the ninth though. I would rather use it than the S2blahblah whatever human sniper, because the covie one wont have kickback. :)
But it scares me that in SP elites will be sniping me with their own weapons... :(

Go to the pre-xbox screens on this site. It shows the old Covie sniper might look like that... I hope they change it though, looks ugly as hell.

The covie carbine is a cartidge based weapon similar to the br. The energy sniper rifle will have no reload, but it does have overheat.
(note: these weapons are likely in the game,but unconfermed)

Bungie's FAQ, under the new weapons section says that the Covenant Carbine is the energy based sniper weapon.

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

And Similar to the Battle Rifle. There is a huge difference between a sniper rifle and a sniper weapon. The M6D is a sniper weapon, but not a sniper rifle.
