Ya know, when I say stuff like that, people just write me off as a hater and whatnot, but just look at the game. I don't see how any of the new stuff they added is good for the Haloverse. I wouldn't mind it as much, if they replaced the established canon with something better, but they've replaced it with something worse.
Not empirically worse. Just worse in some people's opinions. There's a lot of things that were added in Reach that, I feel, have made the HU a better place; the veritable myriad of armor permutations, for one. The needler rifle makes solid sense from a canonical standpoint, perhaps even more than the beam rifle did. There are things that are slightly confusing, to be sure. The plasma repeater is one of them. But when you take into account the fact that Bungie has, fairly obviously, been exploring new gameplay and storytelling dynamics in everything they've worked on since Halo 2, it's not hard to write a lot of this stuff off as either non-canon or quasi-canon.
