One of the reasons plasma weapons aren't used often in halo 1 on lan or online is because you have to lead even more because the plasma bolts travel slower than human bullets. I hope bungie speeds them up significantly so covie weapons aren't as useless online as they were in halo one.

Yeah that is true, another thing is that the plasma rifle shots don't "go until they hit something." On sidewinder my brother was sitting in a tank gunning at me, I was in his range so I figured I could hit his tank,and I shot, but the blue plasma shots didn't even make it to him!

Sorry i wasn't talkin about needlers, i shoulda been more specific. I was talking about plasma pistols/rifles. Although yes you are right. And yes needlers needed a speed increase.

And look at those blasters on the Ghost... *whistles* It looks like they amped up all the covenant weaponry a fair bit since no one really used them on the first. I bet they also toned down the freeze a bit as well to compensate.

also they should have a power upgrade. In the offical books, one plaasma bolt could put a Marine out of action(not kill) and 2 could bring down the MC's shields.

Ya, all covie weapons needed big boosts. Except that covie gun in halopc, that thing needs toning down BIG TIME.
