-semi destroyable structures-
almost everything in the Halo universe is made of better materials than we have to day. how ever i would like to be able to driver trough walls with a warthog, and blow holes out with the rocket launcher. but the structure remains sturdy

-Bullet Holes-
I would like to see bullets be able to penetrate weak materials. like thin metal and thin concrete. and massive plumes of sparks, or debris. i find it annoying when a peace of 1/4 inch tin save someone from a future berret fifty

-Plasma burns-
if you think about a plasma weapon it should be far more devastating than it is. so when plasma bolts hit Concrete and steal it think it should stick there for a while and let off a lot of sparks and smoke, and be very bright. very similar the light a welder gives off. and i Know Spartans have armor to protect the from plasma, but grunts, jackals, drones and marines do not, so 1 shot from a plasma weapon should incapacitate or kill them

Hmm! Never thought of that.

Plasma isn't just hot. It's VERY HOT

It's feasible, but Bungie's #1 concern when it comes to the game engine is: Framerate.

Gameplay and Performance cannot happen with low frames dude. Red Faction: Guerilla was fun and all with a nice SP framerate, but Multiplayer had to be dumbed down so it could actually run (IMO) and it still lagged as hell.

Despite what many people believe, my personal opinion that the plasma being used is in fact cold. I won't go into detail about how the basics of cold plasma work, but scientists today are already working on developing it. 500 years ahead, humans might have mastered its uses. Im sure the covenant have already.

If the plasma is cold plasma, then it could be used simply to transfer vast amounts of energy. Released in the form of cold plasma, it travels out of the gun, through the air, and into the target. The target (lets say a human) would then simply be fried from the inside out by the amount of energy contained in the plasma.

Come to think of it, that also might be what MAJORLIN armour shields are composed of. It would require a layer of fast, constant moving particles in order for the shields to work.

Food for thought.

True, there is almost no way to contain plasma in its usual thought of state wihtout having to be in a highly insulated area or in an E.M. field. cold plasma is many times more fesable.

How do you know that scientists are working on this? Oh, and spelling fail on MJOLNIR. lulz

ah i see you are on my page...good choice

hot plasma is cooler though.

ok well how do you contain an ionized gas any way.

no matter the temperature the Covenant figured out a way to contain a gas and shoot with it, with out it dissipating. i mean hell the have Gravity altering tech.

and besides- which one sounds funner a gun that shoots gas.
or a gun that could incinerate your armor and entrails

It is called an electomagnetic field.

exactly, so why is temperature an issue

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

Well said, and something that is highly ignored by many gamers out there. Just because a system is capable of rendering incredible visuals doesn't mean that it promotes great gameplay when you pepper it on heavy as hell. MP is an even bigger issue due to the transfer of data and the necessary transfer of that data to make things work properly.

Remember its Halo 3, I think the fun would be wrecked if the Plasma Rifle suddenly became one of the strongest weapons in the Halo universe. The bullet holes idea is okay, but I think the main reason they don't use it is they'll mess it up like in Call of Duty. When a submachine gun can shoot through three walls of concrete, you know there is something wrong. The destroyable structures would be a great cinematic effect. Just imagine a Scorpion Tank crushing a small hut or something, out of all the ideas the first one is the best.

Good job otherwise.

Or a scarab destroying multiple buildings and causing the ground to shake with every step. Or a mythos(human scarab-like vehicle) fireing one of its nukes and wiping out an entire army of covenant, but almost killing oh-so many people and destroying many buildings in the process.

If it is too hot the energy will dissapate right in front of the barrel, if it is too cold it will do the same. Hot plasma falls under the too hot category. Cold plasma falls under the category in which the energy will not dissapate right outside of the gun.

Overcharged plasma did the sparkle thing in Halo: CE
It wasn't that great.

Bullet penetration?
Its future cement and metal! Maybe the guns could penetrate today's concrete and metal, but 500 years advanced concrete?
The stuff can probably take a nuclear explosion! Same for the metal.

1- high temperatures will not disrupt a magnetic field
2- why does it overheat
3- The plasma weapons did Burn holes in walls before Bungei removed Bullet holes
