Special Purpose Sniper
From Halopedia, the Halo Wiki
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 possibly been used to replace the Jackal Snipers in Halo 2.
[edit] Deleted Material
Special Purpose Sniper is part of the Deleted Material cut from the Halo game.
When developing the Halo games, Bungie and other developers such as Ensemble or Wingnut Interactive had to cut some content from the final games. As such, many aspects of the story, such as vehicles, gameplay, design, and even story elements, didn't make it into the final versions. Many of the elements have been confirmed by such material as videos and commentary on the Halo Limited Edition Special DVD, interviews with developers, and released concept art.
