Fact is, if you only used shields in Halo 2 the plasma weapons would become overowered and the human ones underpowered.
I have a feeling that, since the shields are more powerful now, the Chief will be even less susceptible to plasma when he has no shields. What I mean is, if you went after someone in Halo with a PR you'd take out their shield in as little as three shots, but it'd take a barrage of shots (to almost overheating when held down, if I remember right) to take out their health.
SO maybe in Halo 2 shields are stronger, making Plasma weapons even more important in that regard, but also maybe MC's 'health' is more resistent to plasma blasts than before. Really makes you use strategy and have more than one kind of weapon on you. I like the idea anyways.
