Everything else but the Battle Rifle, Rocket Launcher and Sniper Rifle is so damn weak. It's no longer Combat Evolved. All the sudden bullets are more effective than Plasma. Which is strange because plasma is really poweful compared to bullets. I think Bungie should make it worth picking up Plasma weapons once again.Plasma weapons are still powerful. People are just too lazy to find out the difference between them and human weapons, so they just assume that human weapons are much better.
I know the difference, Plasma takes down energy shields faster. Okay, so they're equal in terms of power. I wouldn't go to any lengths to say it's more powerful. Why? Because Plasma was more powerful in the previous two games, but balanced out because they were inacurate at medium to long distances, and were slower projectiles than bullets. However, it takes more shots to kill someone with plasma WITHOUT energy shields than bullets, put the innacuracy and slower projectiles into the mix, and you can see why people prefer bullets than plasma. It should be the other way around. Marines didn't complain about them having weaker technology than the Covenant for no reason, after all.Sure, I think you have a valid point, but it just reinforces mine. Both of the weapons are good, but for different purposes or scenarios. I would say in a situation where there would be a beatdown (close range), Plasma weapons would prevail. In medium-long range battles, a human weapon would win. Both are good, but you just need to know when to use them.
