Halo: CE's Plasma Rifle was stronger because it wasn't a dual weapon like it is on Halo 2. That's mainly what it is meant for. It's not a good weapon unless you're up close for a melee attack.
For the Plasma Pistol, same difference. It's not able to kill without melee which is different to the Halo: CE Plasma Pistol. I thought the homing on the Halo: CE Plasma Pistol was stronger as well (as was the Needler).
Halo 3 doesn't need these weapons. They need their own!
My first post...here's the deal, Halo 1, Halo CE, whichever you prefer it's the same game essentially, the plasma rifle was insane!! For instance, if you managed to sneak up on someone with it and lay into them with some plasma love....it caused their sideways movement to slow down substantially, allowing you to either walk up and judo chop sombody...or continue to lay down the fire while they waste away!! Bet you didn't notice that!! Why? Because no one cared about plasma rifles or pistols in the first Halo!
Secondly, n00b tracking (Halo 2 version) for the plasma pistol needs to be toned down. I'm sure you already know this. Instead, incorporate something unique or suprising to the weapon itself, besides the charged blast! Because nobody fears the pistol itself...they fear the weapon that you're gonna whip out after you blast them away with the lock-on projectile! L-A-M-E
Halo 3 isn't Halo: CE or Halo 2.
