During the [[Halo 3 Beta]], there were concerns that the Carbine was overpowered compared to its counterpart the Battle Rifle. This disparity was attributed to an excessively high rate of fire, which allowed it to inflict more damage over time than the Battle Rifle did. In the final game, the Carbine's rate of fire has been reduced to about that of the ''Halo 2'' version. Furthermore, its power has been reduced slightly from its ''Halo 2'' counterpart. It now takes ''eight'' head shots to kill a fully-shielded opponent in multiplayer, as opposed to the shorter ''[[seven]]'' in ''Halo 2'' and the ''Halo 3 Beta''. In addition to the reduction in per-shot damage, the Carbine, also starts with two spare magazines when found in multiplayer, whereas it only started with a single spare magazine in ''Halo 2'' multiplayer.

Also, in the Beta, when reloaded, it did not seem to emit a small cloud of gas as it does in the final version of the game.

As far as the Covenant Carbine's role in the campaign, it is still occasionally found to be used by Brutes, but it can most frequently be found in the hands of Jackals, who utilize it in a marksman role.
