Hmm.. you know, the fact that an armor that powerful exists doesnt make sense to start with.. you know this IS a fictional story
Fictional but it's still realistic! Everything has natural causes

Gah... Plasma is not "hot" simply superheated gas....
Plasma is the fourth state of matter, simply listed as hyper-energized. Scientists play with plasmas in their hands in the lab all the time and it tickles... Also, my plasma television does'nt appear to be a pocket super nova.
Thus, those saying that the Plasma weapons of the covenant are as "hot as the sun" or other such are just talking smack. Heck, the Chief's shields are most likely plasma based and you don't see him burning his fellow marines to ash just by standing next to them.
You are very wrong. Plasma is not "gas". It's another word for slime or something like it. You are right when you say plasma isn't hot but the covenants plasma weapons fire superheated plasma. You can read that anywhere, even in the manual I think. The reason the plasma rifles don't burn or explodes is that the plasma heats up when flying out of the muzzle, you know this bright glowing thing at the business end... and the plasma shields are not superheated, hence, no burning of marines. I hope I've straightened you out :-)
By the way there is no such thing as a "fourth state of matter"
