Radiation from glassing lowerd the sheilds, that was a needle rifle, and she was carried away because the the armor could be scavenged for parts and the UNSC doesn't want the Covenant to recover a spartan and examine the armor to find a weakness or to reverse engineer it.

EDIT: The beam rifle did exist. You seem to forget that Reach and Halo 2 are only weeks apart and the beam rifle apears in several books that are set before Reach. The beam rifle is also in Halo Wars.

meh...

It was a needle rifle, so even more embarrassing... she was useless anyway when it wasn't a cutscene

If it was two days I imagine they had to remain in the bunker due to the glassing

It's not as if the other Spartans literally carried her for two days; they waited out the glassing in the bunker. And I can't fathom how anyone could mistake that shot for a Beam Rifle.

I too dispute how a needle rifle killed her in one shot, HOWEVER, that is not the point is it? Cutscenes are there to provide atmosphere and emotion, which is clearly lost on you.

Without cutscenes games would be boring and stale, no amount of ingame story can ever make up for a good cutscene as far as plot development and immersion into the universe go.

As for why they carried her, well... they didn't. They were in a bunker hiding from the radiation. They couldn't leave her and risk technology falling into enemy hands, they couldn't bury her so they had no option to take her along. Plus emotional attachment and the old "nobody gets left behind" saying seal the deal pretty much.
