"Wow! It's like the money-shot is on MY face!"

In the books, and other media of the Halo franchise, plasma fire from covie weapons is described as burning into the skin of targets that aren't shielded. I know that for obvious gameplay balance reasons, they're aren't going to have whoever you're playing sitting there useless in agony over a plasma shot, but do you think that Bungie will implement this to non-shielded ODSTs, or do you think it will behave just like the shielded Spartans?

god do you people have such a misconstrued idea about what emo is.

Oh please enlighten us. We all want to know how misunderstood you are.

Also in the books, energy swords could cut through unshielded MJONLIR like butter. Ergo, in the games you should be sliced in half if someone hits you with the sword.

So no, I don't think Bungie would do that.

Plasma burning through ODST = Extreme gore
Extreme gone =/= Bungie's style

That reminds me =D - leave it to that to explain...
