Good idea...the less experienced Covenant not using their weapons effectively.
It's true that we (humans) don't understand any of the Covie weapon internals, so no power cores.
For some extra realism, the human weapons could occasionally jam up, like low-battery plasma weapons sputter already. In Perfect Dark (the greatest N64 FPS BTW), bots would sometimes fiddle with their weapons in the middle of a firefight, usually saying something like "This gun is useless!"
And just think...the leader of Blue Team is ten feet from his base with your flag...you've been leading him perfectly for the last few seconds, his helmet never leaving your crosshair...you let him get just a little bit closer to make your victory sweeter, and *CLICK!* ... "Blue Team - CTF"
. . . live and learn, and then learn to kill without hesitation.
(p.m.s. - you wouldn't want to make the weapons jam very often, though. After all, it is the 24th century.)
