Why is the assault rifle in the trailer instead of the BR? I thought they took it out!

Just kidding :)

Seriously though, I'd like to see a return to the plasma pistol doing some damage. I mean seriously you charge up a bolt of plasma, enough to overload a shield... Don't you think it should do some damage to a non shielded target. I'd be cool with it not tracking non shielded foes though... that would make sense to me. Anyway, just a thought.

If this has been posted before, feel free to get mad at... err 'flame' me. Dont forget to say things like 'Pawned' and all that.

That didn't look like the original AR from Halo to me. Itt would probably be cool to have a plasma version of the brute shot where you have to charge up a cluster of plasma and commit Armegeddon on an elite or brute.

Congrats. It was indeed the original assault rifle from h1. And yeah, the plasma should not have homing like in h2, it was cool in h1.

they should turn the damage up done normally and keep you from switching weapons when it overheats. But if you do Dmg with charged shots to health it should take atleast 4 full charged and 8 normal

I hope you die soon. And I agree with the guy about the plasma pistol, it's completely pointles to have a regular fire mode if the secondary is the only useful part of the gun.

I like the Pike idea, I mean, it wouldn't be hard to implement. They already have the Flag animations, it would only have to change the stick from Flag to "Honor Guard Death Pike of Doom" +10 Killing.....[cough]

I mean, it would be nice, as a balance to the sword (if implemented correctly; something like slower movement more power, and the plasma sword faster movement, not quite a Butter Knife of Pure Slaying...but I don't make games, so I dunno).

PAWNED!

j/k, The PP does need to be a little more powerful (on easy, i hit a grunt with a full charged blast and it didn't do a thing!)

I agree the plasma was friggin weak on H2 and that they should make it as strong as it was on H1, that would make it actually a weapon capable of doing something.
