It would be cool having a Covenant Flamethrower, but only the Brutes or higher ranking Elites would be able to use it on their side. For it to work their would be almost a bubble like magnectic field that would control the plasma. What powers it though is pressure. In order to fire the trigger must be held for about two seconds so enough pressure can be built up for an about normal strike. The longer you hold the trigger the more pressurised the plasma would be, hence making it more powerful and travel farther.
To control the hot plasma while in motion with the flamethrowers magnection field for the plasma with pressurise its making it compress so it will cover a wider area rather that going straight like the conventional plasma weapons.
Cool idea Shai, if Bungie tuned and made it work it logically it could be a pretty cool and effective weapon.
