Covenant Carbine

I’m ridiculously thrilled that the Carbine is coming back, and judging by the MLG gameplay it looks awesome (in terms of gameplay and visuals), but what happened to the green smoke while reloading? Am I the only person who thought that was awesome and pointed to how the carbine is an alien weapon?

Of course, it could just be an early build or something. Thoughts?

I don’t mind if the smoke isn’t there,if ya ask me,the fac thtat it fires green lasers and is diffrent in color and the desighn tiself makes it alein,but what I DO find great is,it appears to hurt like HELL! I plan to have that as my precison for long range,be great with my Storm Rifle

I too, love the covie carbine! It really was a quick assault weapon that was fun to use.

Im hoping that the build your talking about is early though. However, you never know with many of the changes they are putting in visually :stuck_out_tongue:

The only thing I would want to change with it is the lack of ammo counter.

Covie Carbine is one of my favourites!

I’m thrilled it has made a return.

I cannot wait to have that beauty back in my hands.

Did you see the MLG matches? That gun absolutely shreds! Sent those BR users running away.

I noticed that follow up shots were easier with carbine but the BR looked like it punished certain carbine engagements are close and mid range.

I think it’s still there. It’s just less noticeable.

I remember seeing someone reloading then cutting it off by sprinting and I think I saw green smoke.

I’ve seen what you are talking about too.

Yes follow up shots were definitely easier with the carbine. I do not remember the BR punishing close to mid range but I will go back and see if this is the case. Lol I could be having selective memory.

Least the Carbine looks like it packs a hell of a punch, looking forward to trying this baby out in the battle heh.

Personally, I’m just glad they didn’t nerf the firing rate. If they did at all, it wasn’t major. The thing is just fun to fire really fast.

If they slowed the firing rate back down to halo 3 style, the covy carbine would be copying the DMR, basically.

It’ll be there along with the ammo counter after some polish and to answer your question yes it was there. I’m guessing it was a bug because the green smoke shot out after you put in the new clip instead of when the old clip shots out, so it’s just delayed a bit but it’s there.

It has the Needle Rifle’s reticle oO

PS: It has been tuned down after the e3 build :confused:
