The Covenant Carbine does indeed have a scope. The bullet-chambers apparently auto-eject during the firing process, which goes probably hand-in-hand with the comments made by Frank concerning the Elite's new reloading animation. OXM said it could be their new favorite weapon.

The Brute Assault Rifle will fire "slugs" (it's unknown if they were referring to the plasma seen during the E3 demo or if these are the shells referred to in First Strike). Although it does have a blade at the hilt, there's no indication yet whether they will allow the RPG variant in-game despite the second barrel. My guess is yes. And Brutes do not have shields, it apparently takes two head shots to take them down though due to their armor.
