I don't know if this has been asked, but I can't seem to make this thing out. It is on the cover of the June 2004 issue of the Official Xbox Magazine. The MC, with his MJOLNIR Mark V! armor, is dual-wielding two SMGs, and there are two ODSTs standing on each side of the him. The thing I can't figure out is what the ODST on the left of the MC is holding. It looks like a rocket launcher, but it could be something else. What do you think?

A picture of the cover is here.

No, the scope is way too square. This is what the sniper rifle looks like.

I doubt it, look at the battle rifle's scope.

Wait, I guess it is a sniper rifle. Or at least the improved one. It has a new scope, but the rest of the figure remained the same. There are those handles and the way the ODST holds the gun is very similar to the sniper rifle.

[color=white]Do keep in mind that that picture is done by an artist, so it could be his/her own interpretation.[/color]
