Well guys, like you know, in Halo 4 we saw the replacement of the Plasma Rifle; Storm Rifle.
Obviously refering to Storm Covenant
But we’ve seen recently that the Arbiter and his faction is going to make some appearance in the game, but what weapon are they going to carry?
The return of the Plasma Rifle?
Another variant of Storm Rifle?
Share your thoughts!
I honestly hope they bring back the classic plasma rifle. That’s the iconic elite weapon aside from the Carbine.

It’s just Covenant Remnant, not Storm Covenant. The Storm Rifle was made before Juls Covenant came into play. They did not make it themselves.

Oh, I thought it was in Jul’s Covenant honor. Thanks for the info man
I never actually thought about that. We know that the Arbiter, at least, has the Prophets Bane, which is a unique weapon. In all likelihood, however, the SoS will have standard Covenant weaponry.
I really hope it’s the Plasma Rifle. That’s probably the most iconic looking Halo weapon…
We’ve seen the Swords using Storm armor so it stands to reason that they’re using Storm rifles. Maybe they’ll use red ones to go along with their red armor.
they’ll give them the storm rifle (hate it) since they have the Halo 4’s elites style that only Jul’s covenant should have…
There is no Storm Covenant. There is only the “Covenant”. The Storm Rifle is used by all elites of all different factions.
I’m so sick of the word iconic being thrown around.

So most of people want the Plasma Rifle back. Me too, not cause It’s iconic, because I really liked it
I never understood why they got rid of the plasma repeater in favor of the storm rifle, they’re almost essentially the same thing.
Back on topic, I really hope they have both the storm rifle and plasma rifle. I think of the storm rifle as an equivalent to the assault rifle and the plasma rifle as the equivalent of the SMG

Why? It’s being used correctly in their statements. For them the weapon is synonymous with the elites.

Meh, personally I only liked it in it’s Halo CE incarnation, where it felt really unique (mostly due to it’s stun-mechanic, but also because it had extremely good accuracy compared to the AR which was more machine-gun like in it’s high spread). In Halo 2/3, it simply played just like a carbon copy of the SMG, the only significant difference being that it had a cool-down/overheat system instead of reloads, meaning it could be fired indefinitely if the player paced their shots and burst-fired, but honestly I didn’t really feel like that was enough to set it apart.
I really don’t like the storm rifle, it looks like -Yoink- imo, I’d love to see the old plasma rifle back in H5 but my hopes are’nt very high…
I’d really like to see the OG Plasma Rifle come back

It seems like with every new halo they have less one-handed weapons. So i wouldn’t bet on the plasma rifle being back.
I miss the plasma rifle and would love for the return of it, I know they won’t add the needler rifle but I thought that was cool too.
