I’ve noticed through several gameplays that the Plasma Rifle is still absent. Does this mean we’re gonna go through another Halo game without our old friend, the Plasma Rifle?
I guess so, the horrible storm rifle is back, I’m sure I’ll just never grab it as I did in Halo 4 XD
Don’t let go of hope for a Mythic Plasma Rifle tucked in the Storm Rifle option. I’m not 
kinda sucks that they replaced it. I miss it a lot.
Actually surprised its not back, given how they’ve made the plasma pistol somewhat resemble it.

Greenskull is liking the Halo 5 storm rifle, saying that it is a beast in the right hands. Even beating out the AR.
But on the main topic. I only like the PR in halo CE. It was actually a good weapon and did a lot of damage. But then it got nerfed for its duel wield ability on 2 and 3 and it was truly a horrible weapon. Then halo reach brought it back, but it wasn’t up to the power of Halo CE, mainly because it was kept at SMG status because of the god awful plasma repeater. The Storm Rifle came in and combined the Plasma repeater and Plasma Rifle. And to be hostest. It was a good hybrid and I’m able to get some very clean kills with it in Multiplayer. So seeing that it has been better improves for halo 5. I’m excited
Basically Greenskull said that the damage and accuracy has been increased. But it overheats super quick. And to use it properly, you need to fire it in burst. But if handled right, it becomes one of the best weapons in the game

The last part of your post intrigues me. I noticed the Storm Rifle overheats quick in full rapid fire which makes sense when it comes to balancing the new accuracy and power. As a fan of the Storm Rifle in Halo 4, I am very excited for this 
I looked super powerful in the videos I’ve seen. All I could think of was how hard it is going to be to kill elites in campaign on legendary when they have such a powerful gun! But I’m ready to try!

I think it would be hot if the Plasma Rifle came back and was the Covenant equivalent of the SMG, and the Storm Rifle was like the Assault Rifle.
It always kind of bothered me how the Plasma Rifle was held in one hand, but somehow just as accurate and effective as a two-handed weapon. I like the idea of having a two-handed Covenant assault rifle, but I think the Plasma Rifle still has a place in Halo and I hope to see it back.
