Plasma weapons are great against UNSC shielding tech, but not against actual health. So, seeing as ODSTs have no shields, surely the Plasma weapons in-game will do less damage to you than in Halo 3?

Just a thought.

Plasma work great on Brutes(shield wise) too, I like them.

Hey guess what!? I play CoD more than Halo, but I'm not an annoying fanboy. I love CoD more, but I like how involved the Halo Community is...

Yes plasma probably burns Humans or stings

No offense, but are you special? Plasma is superheated gas. It cuts through metal like butter. The freaking sun is made of plasma. It would tear through the human body like it's nothing.
Yeah, have you ever played Halo? Well Halo (the games) says it doesn't

Its a lower temp though, otherwise it would melt the gun itself.

Plus I think it said in the books the it leaves sevre burns to the body.

No. They lowered your heath, not weapon power. Your stamina lowers, then it cuts into your health.

lol. Remember its just a video game. Also I wonder wat does more damage to health. A ball of super heated gas or a sharp piercing bullet still hot from when it was fired.

Its not the weapon power hes talking about. Its the compatibility with the organic tissue.

Thou hast been out BR'ed and now wilst feast most succulently upon my bageth of tea

if you have read the books then you will know that usually when a soldier (besides spartans) are hit by 1 plasma shot/bullet they are up a certain creek w/o a paddle
