Do you reckon the stun effect should be brought back on plasma weaponry? It was somthing that made those guns usefull in Halo 1.
I guess it was taken out in Halo 2 to balence the dual weilding, but maybe if there is a new Rifle that uses Plasma, but is not dual weildable, that could have the stun effect (bigger weapon, big effect?).

I think it would be nice to see it return under certain circumstances. It made you think the MC was stumbling from the burning impact of a ball of blue hot ionised gas...

You know it kinda helps if you actually add an arguementative comment, rather than an unjustified opinion.

they should bring it back for the PP and remove it's tracking, there balance achieved.

Nothing personal...

It would definately add variety to the Dual-Wieldable weapons. Where it stands now, the Plasma Rifle isn't too much different than the SMG- I'd like to have a bigger difference between the two.

that's kind of the point. in halo CE the PP was a very uselss weapon. having that little freeze ability made it somewhat usefull. now with the advent of the BR/PP combo, it's one of the first weapons most people pick up.
