Wherever you roam
so far from home
you'll be safe from peril
life threatening and terrible
if you avoid David Powel
and keep track of your towel.

I do not consider the Laser overpowered either. I consider the weapon too advanced for previous UNSC use. it wasn't until after extensive covenant combat the UNSC was able to gain personal shielding, let alone the only light based weapon in the UNSC arsenal EVER. If spartan lasers had been around earlier, they would probably have been the replacement for MAC cannons on UNSC ships. Canonically, the Spartan Laser is a mess only because of Halo Wars.
Hardly, a Prowler in Ghosts of Onyx uses a pulse laser functionally identical to a Spartan Laser sometime around 2535.
If you think the technology of high powered pulse lasers precludes MACs then you'd be wrong. A simple explanation would be that MACs are much cheaper, more reliable, more powerful, use less power (I could go on).
