you are a good translator
Idiot can be a hard language to learn, but once you get it down, everything becomes so clear! The whole world will make sense to you.

Will both the standard and brute variants of the Plasma Rifle be in the game, or is it restricted to the brute version (Which looks kickass. It's basically the H1 PR, stun and all. I love how the ODST holds it, one handed.)?

Can't wait to get my fingerless gloves on one of those sexy red powerhouses. You can see it do work here.

As far as I know both versions are in the game.

I think if you read the intel page for the brutes it says the only higher ranking brutes are given a BPlasma Rifle.

Then again, I may be imagining things again.

I believe the Brute Plasma Rifle will be the only Plasma Rifle present. With no Elites, there's no reason for the Blue Plasma Rifle.

it will probably only be the brute plasma rifle

Brute Captains and Jump-Pack Brutes used PR's on a regular basis. Some grunts even used them. They are standard issue to the Covenant. Possibly major and commander grunts could be armed with PRs to be a more formidable foe.

I've seen grunts pick up discarded plasma rifles once.(Scare them good enough they drop their gun and run! Doesn't mean they won't stick you though.)

I've never seen a grunt wield a Plasma Rifle...

~~Christian

since the plasma rifle was primarily an elite weapon, i would think that the brute variation would be the only one in the game since there arent elites

It shot faster and was more powerful, but it overheated quicker.

Well blue plasma rifle is a veteran weapon used in all Halo games and I believe it should be included.

Yeah, and it was dissapointing that it was rare in Halo 3.

Yea I noticed he was only holding it one handed also. Its kind of strange seeing how it takes chief TWO hands. He was also holding the needler one handed.

I havent seen the Blue PR anywhere in the gameplay so probably not.... And since no elites, no Blue PR.

Don't base whether or not you buy a game on its graphics. Gameplay and how fun it is are what matter most. Not the textures of the grass that you will never need to look at!

I think there was one instance in Halo 2 of it. Also, they use them in the books.
