I think i read in the halo1 manual that humans had not found out how to reload plasma weapons, but i think it suggested that the covenant had ammunition, and they knew how to reload them. do you think in h2 they will make the plasma weapons reloadable? or will they remain disposable weaponry like in h1?

"John was a space marine for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the spaceships and he said to dad "I want to be on the ships daddy." Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY DEMONS"
"I will shoot at him" said the cyberdemon and he fired the rocket missiles. John plasmaed at him and tried to blew him up. But then the ceiling fell and they were trapped and not able to kill.
"No! I must kill the demons" he shouted
The radio said "No, John. You are the demons"
And then John was a zombie."

i think you should be able to pick up ammo for the plasma weapons. but maybe only later in the game like in h1, when you find all the cases of needler ammo on 343 guilty spark (methinks)

The carbine is like the battle rifle, you can use it close range or you can pick people off with a scope but the scope isnt as powerful as a sniper scpoe.

yea the carbine is a battle rifle NOT a sniper rifle. i don't think bungie has confirmed a covie sniper rifle but i do know that there was one in early versions of Halo.

The plasma pistol and rifle cant be reloaded, they run on battaries. And the humans have not yet found a way to restore them or change them.

If the elites can reload our weapons in multiplayer spartans should at least be able to reload their's in multiplayer.

I hope they leave them as is (you can't reload). Because it would be cheap if you had energy cells that would hold 100 shots, and you would be able to carry even more.

I think you should only be allowed to reload plasma-based weapons if you are playing as an Elite in multiplayer.

That would be cool but unbalanced, they don't want any special advantages I heard. If only elites could in multiplayer then everyone would choose them unless the spartans had something up there sleeve. If it was like that, I think it would be cool to have an option to turn special abilities on or off.

there is no need to reload because there are so many plasma guns to pick up

yea i dont think the reloading thing is such a good thing.. unless they reduced the number of shots in the battery

also i think that the lower the battery goes the more messed the shot becomes.. like swirving or

Ever notice how elites never have to reload no matter how long you duke it out with them? I think their armor can interface with the gun and recharge it using the same powerbase as the shield, perhaps the new MJOLNIR armor can do this too.

I think those big pupole boxes have something to do with charging the battery

so basically people here think that it would not be fair if they actually made it so you could reload plasma weapons?
