In the single player demo played at E3 in 2003, in the beginning, I noticed something unusual. Right after Sgt. Johnson says, "Get tactical marines!", they show a strange gun. The second ODST blows into the clip and loads a rifle that has a teal color on the side. At first, I thought that it was just a battle rifle, as it shows the ODST's leaving the Pelican with them. However, the silver color and location of which he loaded it made me think. Master Chief loads the BR in the butt of the gun later in the demo, while this ODST loaded the gun in the middle. I could be totally wrong, but this might be a new gun and I was wondering what you guys think.

Yeah, I think you're right. I've looked at a few other screenshots and I think it's the sniper rifle, although it looks more grey-ish. Oh well.

I don't know what it is, but I definetly know what it isn't and that is not a Battle Rifle.

It was the same Sniper Rifle used 5 seconds before by the sniper laying prone on the ground in New Mombasa. (he said: "kilo two-three is hot, reccomend mission abort")

I'm sorry... but I personally don't know how you could mistake it as anything other than the sniper rifle.

But it is Halo 2, not Halo. And it looks exactly like the sniper rifle, it has the scope, the HUGE magazine... everything.

It is the sniper rifle. I went back and watched the demo and it looks like the rifle the sniper that says that "grid kemo 2-3 is hot" is holding.

It doesn't matter because the sniper on the ground and the ODST in the pelican both have the same gun.

In that very pic you can see the scope on top of the barrel.

They're right; it's the sniper rifle.

It is supposed to look different, it is Halo 2 not Halo.

If you notice when the guy without a helmet slams the magazine in, there is already one there. I don't know if anyone caught that or if its been spoken of already...
