You have Land Turtle logic, that's what.

What do you mean shortly, Bungie hasn't had anything to do with Reach for quite some time now.

No, the plasma rifle is useless, the repeater is less useless

Incorrect. Plasma Rifle + beatdown on an enemy who's rushing you is very effective, and makes for a quick kill - especially with bleedthrough on.

Exactly its only useful with melee. As a weapon itself its totally useless

That was only one example. Teamshooting with it while your teammate is using a DMR is also effective (more effective than two DMRs). It is good at stripping the shields, so it's not useless at all. It's not meant to be used as a kill weapon, but rather a support weapon. If you're using it to try to kill someone, you're doing it wrong.

The repeater is practically useless, because it does high damage against health and low damage against shields. Once an opponent's shield is depleted, it is faster to finish him with a headshot or melee. The plasma rifle is a wonderful shield stripper, so it is worth carrying to compliment a utility weapon.

Rifle is better with other weapons, but that does not make it a good weapon, that makes it a good support. On its own it is probably one of the worst weapons.

NOP. Plasma rifle is a shield killer, Plasma pistol is a shield killer with a few extra functions, and the Plasma repeater is a health killer.

Using a combo of these with a Plasma repeater, you can dominate close quarters.

The plasma pistol is pretty good against health
