I don't think they have realeased any pictures of the covie sniper rifle. That purple gun the elite holds in the making the game clip is the covenant carbine, their equivalent of the battle rifle.

but getting back to the needler...it rocks. IT ROCKS! from what could be seen, it's definitely faster, has a larger clip, and the needles don't stand out like a friggin' torch in the dead of night. so now everyone won't be like "oh, look over there. some dumbass is using the needler." well, not as much anyways. i wanted to see him drop that other smg and go dual with the needler though.

EDIT: just realized the author was asking why it is better and not how. the answer, of course, is because the needler was a heaping pile of crap in HALO. albeit, the coolest heaping pile of crap ever made, but a healing pile of crap nonetheless. you see, they've given it functionality to go with its already immense style.

The needler doesn't suck at all in the first game!!!
I'm currently playin AotCR and I can pick up a RL, pistol, plasma pistol, plasma rifle and needler. On the second bridge(, the one with the hunters on the other bridge on the right), I've used the needler and grenades for all of the grunts and elites on "my" bridge. I only used the pistol for the hunters on the other bridge, and I didn't even use the RL at all.
It was easier with the needler than with the other weapons! The needler is useful, but you 've got to know when and how to use it. Please don't think you have to be dumb to use the needler...

You're all blithering when it comes to the pistol. People...THE BATTLE RIFLE IS BASICALLY A PISTOL WITH 30 BULLETS.

The needler is great in campain but not on multiplayer. And that is because in multi, people know how to dodge the needler. And the enemy in campain dont.

Balance issues, I still don't think it is going to be that more effective.
