As you all have heard the PR is not in Halo 4, I’ll miss that gun, all put your condolences to the Plasma family. Plasma Grenade, Plasma Pistol, Plasma Cannon, Plasma Repeater and Plasma Launcher are all having a tough time coping.
Seriously, what the hell is wrong with the PR?? As long as the elites are back the PR should come back as well.

Exactly! Grunts use PPs and the Elites use PRs! It’s always been like that.
They just need to give the Plasma rifle a more RIFLE feel instead of an SMG feel.
It was only useful in CE. Its removal has been long over due.
I can see why 343 did it, I mean the Plasma Rifle was only really effective in Halo: CE. I’m just sad because that gun was one of the icons of Halo.
Can I get a link the source?

It was also useful in 2, with dual wielding… but we all know thats gone too

I found it useful in all the games. The PR practically defines the elites.
That gun was favorite ever, especially in Halo 3 when you could duel wield it…people say it wasn’t useful, but it was. Definitely mroe useful than the Plasma Repeater anyway…
As long as the have something that looks like the Plasma Rifle (Plasma Repeater maybe) then I think it’ll be fine. The Plasma “Rifle” hasn’t really felt like a Rifle since CE. The Plasma Repeater did however, plus it looked awesome.
Yeah, it sucks. That’s one of Halo’s most iconic weapons.
If the replacement is like the Plasma Repeater, then do not want. That weapon was beyond useless.

The only problem with the Plasma Repeater doesn’t work very well unless you are at an extremely close range, it’s bullet spread is way too big.

Ok not as bad as I thought.
Still removing an icon like the PR wasn’t a great idea. 
Hopefully it’s replacement will sound similar.

Little Timmy has always had cancer. Therefore, Little Timmy should always have cancer.
The PR was a redundant and overall less versatile weapon in the sandbox given how the PP could strip shields in an equal amount of time, if not faster, and has the added ability of being able to noob combo people or EMP vehicles.
I’m not bummed… I’M FURIOUS!!! D:<

Yes, you’re right, but that’s the Halo Reach Plasma Repeater you’re talking about. They’d obviously change it if it was put into Halo 4, just like they have with the DMR.

Are you… Mr. Furious?
Like I said in the other thread: Blah, blah, blah, redundant, blah, blah, blah, less versatile, blah, blah, blah, overshadowed by the PP.

The spread isn’t bigger than the AR.
It’s the travel time that kills the weapon.
