will the plasma weapons be back to how they were in halo 1 where when shot by one you would basically freeze in place. i hated it for the ghost but it made the plasma pistol single fire more effective. i would think it would go back to this considering this game is a prequel to halo 1

Freeze in place? I don't remember that.

But since we're on plasma weapons:
They're greatly underpowered. The books portray marines falling and dying after two or three shots. Repeatedly, in games, I've seen marines take several before dying. It seems that the superior Plasma weapons have been powered down to make bullets better. One would think having one's face burned off is just as bad or worse than getting shot.

Yeah you didn't freeze, but you slowed down drastically.
