IMO, they were way better in CE. The effect of shooting something with a plasma weapon and burn into it is cool to me even now. They actually do decent damage, and it is easy to get kills with one. Could you imagine spawning with only a plasma pistol in a game of Slayer in Reach? You wouldn't stand a chance.

The plasma rifle was godly. It like stunned you as well as inflicted immense damage.

Exactly! But with plasma weapons now...

Yes, there're too many numbers in my name.

I agree. I've noticed that in the other Halo games, the plasma weapons drastically reduce the enemies shields quicker, but leave less inflicting damage on the actual opponent. In Halo: CE, the plasma weapons were overall better than the normal projectile firearms.

The plasma/bullet damage tables have been similar throughout the series.

Plasma has always been deadlier to shields and Sentinels, but bullets work better for health. However, overall, plasma weapons have always been better in CE, where they had a burn effect, and stunned for a half second after hitting. worked great for attacking tanks.
