So, when 343 announced The Brute Plasma rifle was coming to Halo 5 I thought it was a brilliant idea and a smart move. Why? Because people asked for the Plasma Rifle, but obviously it’s been replaced by the Storm Rifle, which is practically the same as each other. So the Brute Plasma Rifle is like an excuse into how you could bring in a Plasma rifle in the game. BUT… I wasn’t aware we’d get more variants. They’re not even BRUTE PLASMA RIFLE variants. They’re Plasma Rifle variants. Which doesn’t make sense because we don’t even have the Plasma Rifle? So it thought me to thinking why don’t they bring it back? All you need to do 343 is give it a blue color instead of red. It’s a simple change that’ll make many happy.
The brute plasma rifles were red… The elites were blue.
The variants are actually called brute plasma rifle variants. The original plasma rifle would be too weak but it would be a cool addition.

Actually the overheat time and damage was different as well. It wasn’t just a pallet swap.
I don’t see the issue with having the Brute Plasma Rifle over the original blue one. In ODST, we only have the Brite variant, and it wasn’t an issue. We have some sort of Plasma Rifle, and that’s enough to make me happy!
As for the variants, sure they’re Plasma Rifle variants, just like the Brute Plasma Rifle. But what difference does it really make in the end?

Damage wasn’t different. The rate of fire was, thus why it overheated faster.
The introduction of the storm rifle kind of assured us that the Elite Plasma Rifle or Plasma Repeater would return.

Really? I though the brute did a hair more, but it could just be rof.
Correct me I’m wrong, but I believe the “Brute” Plasma Rifle was not created just for them, but actually for other members of the Covenant as well, but it just became apparently exclusive to Jiralhanae.

Actually, the Brute Plasma Rifle was designed in secret for the aggressive nature of the Brutes, in order to facilitate their betrayal of the Elites.
I mean, if they added the original Plasma Rifle from CE with its stun mechanic, that’d alright with me.
I can see the blue variant returning with playable Sangheili avatars. ( If we got as lucky as a powerball winner.) But I can speak for most of us here… We miss the classic blue plasma rifle. It’s the gun with the most halo in it… ( I did like the brute plasma rifles more in Halo 2.)
My issue with these guns in halo 5 is the sound they make. It’s just an iconic pew pew pew… I wish they would make the classic plasma rifle sounds.

That’s what I was saying?

I am not saying it’s an issue. But I just said it’s a very easy task that will please many fans.
