Special purpose sniper

This article contains information of a non-canon subject that is not a part of the established Halo universe.

The Special Purpose Sniper is a deleted Covenant species seen in the Halo 2 Collector's Edition DVD. Its arms were used like a tripod (but not act like one), and that it could flip from side to side, without having to switch weapons. It would also be able to hang from trees and building struts. It could have been used instead of the Jackal Snipers in Halo 2.

[edit] Deleted material

Special purpose sniper is part of the deleted material cut from the Halo games.

When developing the Halo games, Bungie, Ensemble Studios, and 343 Industries have had to cut some content from the final games. As such, many aspects of the games, such as vehicles, gameplay, design, and story elements, were not included in the final versions. Many of these elements have been confirmed by such material as videos and commentary, interviews with developers, and released concept art.
