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

Bungie has told us nothing of a Covenant sniper rifle. The purple guns the elites are holding in the X03 pic are carbine rifle similar to the battle rifle.

As with all the plasma weapons, wouldn't the shot take 5mins to get to the target (if you were using the covey "sniper" rifle)

It may not be plasma the Carbine has a clip and may fire solid projectiles.

After all, the needler bullets fire pretty fast, but what i would love to see, would be a needler shotgun, thew way the needler was in Halo 1 , but shotgun styles.... KABOOM!

Be pretty cool, but probably either abit over the top or too good.....

The game would be RUINED if there was a Covenant variant of everything. Plus, the thought of an Elite with a sniper rifle is terrifying...

Service Record

*I remember from an interview, think it was OXM, where they said the marines would be smarter, being able to take cover and point out an enemy sniper for someone to take out.

*And this is directly from the Covenent Primer: Although technically they exist on the same social strata as Grunts, both species feel that the other is their lesser. Jackals, while not quite as resilient as Grunts, are certainly faster and possess far superior senses. This makes them excellent stalkers and snipers, and as such, they tend to have "better" battlefield positions.
