If you charge a Plasma Pistol too long, it overheats.

Master Chief's hands burn when it overheats...and he's wearing Mark V armor.

How does an ODST's hand not completely burn when it overheats in his/her hand? Wouldn't it cause a lot more damage?

It's been boggling my mind :P

"Everyone, fire at Will!"
"Why? What did Will ever do to you?"

hmm, never thought about that.

I'm in charge of Malaysia.

It probably will cause damage. Or, it won't. We'll find out.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite airstrike.

Jackals manage to get around it.

Because sometimes physics are forgotten, or would be a pain in the ass and certain aspects of physics are discarded to make a better playing experience?

Seriously, if you burned your hand from firing some plasma a lot I would certainly stick to human weapons.

No, ODST armour is crafted from pure trafficonium, extracted straight from a real traffic cone, making it completely heat resistant up to 10 Degrees Fahrenheit.

You should be an Exalted Mythic Member.

I'm more Rad than you.

I hope that they don't add that. Then I would use plasma weapons even less than i already do ; )

I thought that the chief would lower his shields around his hands in order to allow for weapon use (like he does with his feet although this would arguably be even more important). Without the shields I don't think that mark v would be much more resilient then the ODST armor so this probably wont be a problem.

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

It is a thought, but it truly doesn't matter.
