If the alien sniper rifle is called the plasma carbine that would suck just because a carbine by definition is short baralled automatic weapon they need a different name and not one begening with the word plasma it should be a creative name like needler or the fuel rod gun maybe something like stinger I dont know you guys have any ideas.

Yeah, it's called the Covenant Carbine, and it's the equivalent to the Battle Rifle. Although now we know there will be a Covie sniper. It's gonna be the best game ever.

The Covenant Carbine and their sniper rifle are two different weapons, according to this press scan

That, or someone made a typo

Dude, it's an homage to the weapon from WWII, the Carbine. They still use the M4 Carbine today. Covie Carbine is an awesome name.

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

Well for sure the Covie Carbine is not the so called Covie Sniper... and if anyone wants to see what the Covie Sniper might look like.... take a look at this... http://www.bungie.net/SlideShow.aspx?Path=/games/Halo&Sli deshow=PreXbox &Slide=51

Now, I've got a feelin they may be digging into the ole toy chest for some stuff... Like the Shadow which was there too... but not used... and perhaps what the new pistol will be in the other screenshot on that page....
