Subject: why did the halo universe get rid of the plasma rifle?

Because it takes place 4 years later and things change, weapons get upgraded and new ones are created.

The only game it doesn't appear in is Halo 4. . .

OT: Just because it isn't in one game doesn't mean they threw it away.

The fact that in was present in the Reach sandbox doesn't mean that you could grab it in matchmaking. I remember the first time you could grab a Plasma Rifle in matchmaking was when Elite Slayer's loadouts were changed.

Other than that, the weapon saw as much use as the Spartan Laser, which was nowhere to be found outside Highlands and another couple horrible Forge maps.

They didn't get rid of it!

The covenant you see in Halo 4 is a separate faction that doesn't equip the plasma rifle. Just like Reach didn't have BR.

The Spartan Laser was in most, if not all Big Team maps though...

Expressing my strong liberal views without shame. Favorite quotes below:

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."
"One starts to live when he can live outside himself."

It's not gone from the Halo Universe.

Plasma Rifle and SMG combo in H3 was really good.

Plasma Rifle is my favorite Halo weapon. I do miss it.

There was no Plasma Rifle in Reach.

There was a Plasma Repeater.
No.


lol, OP is 'tarded.


Anyways, yea, the plasma rifle was in halo reach, and it was probably more effective at killing than any other plasma rifle in the past halo games.


i didnt see it once in the campaign at all and never did i see anyone use it online nor did i see any where to pick it up.

Halo reach I understand it not being in campaign, H4, it's non sensical that it is not in mm.

Also, WHERE THE HELL DID THE RED PLASMA RIFLE GO?


that was the brute plasma rifle i liked it also. fired faster and did more damage also over heated faster as well. well since the brutes are killed no more red.

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

Because "Storm" (ooh, generic badass name) doesn't use it.

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

It didn't make much sense to keep it, I guess....

Just remember that no matter how terrible you feel, or how much you want to let go, there are people who care about you and love you.

The weapon was terrible when compared to it's human equivalent.
