What differences do you think it will have from the human one. Here are some ideas, better scope but not as powerfull, no trail of smoke or plasma in that case, maybe it has a secondary mode i dunno but it deff wont be more powerful cause the human one is 2 shots to the body an one to the head its powerfull enough already. What are your thoughts.

What about a needler sniper rifle/rocket lancher? A more powerful needler with less shots (possible 4 rounds), fires slower and is extremly powerful (hence an equlivalt to the rocket lancher). It would have zoom about as much as the sinper rifle and seek like needlers do. the round itself should traval slower than a normal needler but faster that the rocket. To balance it, the weapon would not be able to stick on a vehical and would take longer to blow up than a normal needler.

i assume the only covies using the SR would be the elites or maybe brutes but the scope might not be as powerful because they might have very strong vision.

also i think it would be pretty slow becasue all the other plasma wepons are slow to react or move

In the convenant primer, didn't it say that Jackals were snipers and had heightend senses? I know that in Halo they only carried plasma pistols, but in the picture in the primer one was holding a needler, and in the forum about it (the primer) people were talking about that a lot.

i like dat needler/rocket thing, i was thinking about a large needle projectile that could explode(like when a target has lots of needlers stuck to it) and when it explodes lots of faster smaller needles are released in all directions. this way you could fire it into a group of enemies causing damage to them all, like a nail bomb that is launchable.
although that would be a completly new weapon
