The Plasma pistol.
It's a weapon that us Halo fans have come to love over the past 4 Halo games, from those legendary runs were it never leaves our hand; to blowing banshees out of the sky on top of a towering New Mombasa building. It's always been there. It might not be as notorious as the BR, the AR or even the needler, but it has it's own place in Halo history.
However, 4 games of constant use has started to take it's toll on me personally; especially in ODST, where it was the best way to de-shield those pesky brutes, and take down engineers.
Does anyone think that it's time we mixed things up a bit for Reach? it runs the risk of contradicting canon, but I really think that it needs a different purpose. That bright green glow is starting to get a bit tedious, and I don't think I could take another game of just "Charge, release, headshot."
Anyone got any ideas of how it could be re-assigned among the Halo arsenal?
Do you even think it needs changing?
TL;DR- Just read the damn thing, it won't take that long =)
It's plasma, so it should burn through armor right?
Make it burn through weak armor. E.g. the lowest brutes armor. Or maybe just make it burn through skin. E.g. Jackal, Grunt, Unshielded Brute.
