I don’t care how much worse it is than the storm rifle. It’s design is original and stands out more, the storm rifle is just another alien themed stick with a trigger.
It was my trusty companion in CE, I pushed on through Legendary with it by my side, it was my safety blanket, my friend, my soul weapon. I was never scared as long as I had Plasma Kun with me.
You can take the Plasma Rifle from my Halo, but you cannot take the Plasma Rifle from my soul.
And bring back the Flame Thrower from Halo PC too please.
Yeah, Halo: Reach made a lot of things into rifles that they probably shouldn’t have. Not that I hate the game, but seriously, they really changed a lot of the weapons into either a power weapon, a rifle, or a pistol. I miss the old plasma rifle, and the brute plasma rifle.
I like the storm rifle, it’s a nice CQB weapon. Maybe they can make a legendary iteration like the rocket launcher? Like, remake the storm rifle back into the plasma rifle. I would be down to have the idea humored.
There would be no point in adding it in unless it had a different functionality that the modern Storm Rifle. With that said, how would you differentiate the Plasma Rifle from the SR, while still making it a relevant weapon that people would want to use?
No no you don’t get it, 343 doesn’t care about the old plasma rifle or any unique gun design because they are anti fun.
Seriously though, whats up with this -Yoink-? Whether or not you side with the Vets or the Progessive sides of the H5 debate, can everyone agree that the weapon designs are getting less distinct and creative? I mean what happened to the SPNKR, it was replaced by a generic FPS rocket launcher. Lame as hell, and now the plasma rifle was replaced by the storm rifle because you know, everyone loves 343’s totally generic fan-canon they rushed into try and erase the past.
I guess everything Bungie did (except for the assault rifle, they got a hard on for them) was cancer, because 343 keeps trying to fix things that don’t need fixing. This along with the Forge lacking a -Yoinking!- FILEBROWSER, the most basic thing that 343 could’ve done to support the forge they’ve been putting soooo much effort into apparently, is not being patched in. Why can’t 343 do what Bungie did to the same capacity without having to wait months for basic, staple halo features instead of chasing Esports and CoD fans, screw that You’re Halo! I used to love you, because you did things your OWN way without bowing your head to everyone. 343 didn’t make a game they wanted to play, they made one that they wanted to commercially succeed…
I gotta stop before I stir up a -Yoink!-,
Tl;DR It sucks that 343 has no unique idea’s for Halo besides making everything generic. GG 343, GG.
edit; I take it back, Bungie made the storm rifle in Reach and it was carried over into H4 replacing the plasma rifle there, -Yoink!- can halo have anything iconic anymore, stop taking poor design cues. I don’t want shinier, sleek and futuristic + overdesigned, make something with personality -Yoink!-!
Meh, I like the storm rifle a lot more personally. Flame Thrower seems to go more with the theme of the Flood personally. Of course, more content is more content and who wouldn’t want that?? But… you got to prioritize what you want when it comes to content and a plasma rifle is not at the top of that list for this guy.

Why don’t they do something similar to the AR/SMG with the SR/PR? Make the storm rifle better overall with a tighter spread, but let the plasma rifle wreak havoc at close range

YUP.
343 sux hard.
I put H5 back in the case and played MCC some more. Put REACH in the 360 and played that a lot in the last few weeks.
The Plasma Rifle is way more iconic to Halo than the Storm Rifle. The Storm Rifle just feels like the love child of the Carbine and Plasma Repeater. I agree with what Heeb614 said above, about bringing the Plasma Rifle back as the SMG to the Storm Rifle’s Assault Rifle style.
