Hey Ender, be nice. We all have some misconceptions...
Oni, what about the main benefit of HPC? Free online multiplayer?
Let's attack the points, now. Of course you can catch a plasma nade. You just can't get it off, though. ^_~
We do get Rocket Launcher equipped warthogs, flamethrowers and Fuel Rod Guns that have a cooldown time instead of a reload. But everything has its problems, though. The RL equipped warthog fires pretty slowly and needs a reload time, leaving the hog open to counterattacks. Besides, the rockets move too slowly for most tactical purposes. The flamethrower is usually picked up only by those intent on suicide, since it's range is shorter than the shotgun, despite its prolonged attack (the flames stick and keep eating away at you). And the FRG is one of the cheapest weapons in the game. Those who even touch it are instantly called n00bs, and everyone on the map will gun for you first.
