i want to know....
why did they include 2 weapons that do exactly the same thing?

  • 03.09.2012 7:23 AM PDT

both of them suck they should be both dropped from future halo franchises lol imo

  • 03.09.2012 7:31 AM PDT

They are very different.

Happiness is a warm gun

Plasma Pistol.

I never really did understand why the plasma pistol has faster firing rate, better accuracy and faster projectiles then the 'Rifle' Variant.

Then the repeater just makes things redundant

Plasma Pistol is Sage's weapon of choice that's why

I prefer the Plasma rifle over the Plasma pistol xD. Possibly due to it's Automatic firing, better aiming sights and my personal opinion that it strips shields quicker. It's also good for grunts,jackals etc..

Not too fond of either weapon. I guess the Plasma Rifle is better, because it seems to do more damage than the Plasma Repeater.

Needs more Plasma Stun.

I agree, it'd make it a much better weapon and also make it stand out from the other Automatic weapons xD

The plasma repeater is complete trash.. and the rifle overheates too quickly, its near impossible to get kills with both..

Plasma Repeater is good for people who want to end their battles with a melee. Or a swap out to another weapon that is 1sk to the head capable... Like the Magnum.

Epic Monkey!

Rifle for shield eater.
Repeater for health eater.

Halo CE and Halo 2 had a great plasma pistol, but the plasma rifle and repeater need to have some work done to be noted for anything.

Because if you use the two in close quarters it's scary if you use them right.

Plasma rifle to -blam!- shields, Plasma Repeater to shred health.

KEEP IT CLEAN!

Plasma rifle does more shield damage. Plasma repeater does more flesh/health damage. What I want to know is why the plasma rifle didn't stay like it was in this image. I think that plasma rifle had a pretty awesome, alien charge meter. However, I'm still happy with the current rifle, and repeater, for that matter. They are satisfying, graphically different, and inflict different damage.

Repeater is more related to an Assault Rifle, while the Rifle is more related to the PP.

lolno

Rifle/Spiker are actually pretty amazing for a 'noob-combo'.

Repeater (assuming you're playing on a good host) is just a slightly stronger version of the AR (albeit without hitscan).

They're not the same. For example, the Plasma Rifle is a lot better than the Plasma Repeater.

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

Repeater. The plasma rifle is useless in Reach

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

Halo CE Plasma Rifle,

It frozed targets. So great for shooting someone trying to run away from you. Shoot them in the back, they couldn't move, run up for a easy beat down.

The Ghost also slowed down targets, and was great against the Tank. As long as you got behind it. The Tank could barely move when it was shot by the ghost.

They are pretty different. Rate of fire, blooming reticle, damage, etc.
They even look a little different. But I thought the were the same in the beta for a while.

But out of the 2, I'd rather use the repeater. It's rate of fire is pretty good.
