In Halo: CEA, this will DEFINITELY need to be buffed. Here are my ideas on how to make it a good weapon:
Stun effect: A stun effect would make this weapon very useful in many occasions. (Similar to the stun you get when meleeing a person in armor lock.)
Bloom Reduction: Accuracy sucks with this weapon. Remove bloom. It also really needs an accuracy buff.
Damage Buff: This would make this an actual weapon, not some ineffective toy.
Please, share your opinions and thoughts. Let’s make this popular so 343 can see it and, hopefully, post in this thread what they think about it. Give ideas so I can add them to the list.
All of the Ground Weapons MUST be better than the starter weapons, but not way too much, plasma repeater damage is great, but the accuracy is for the loss, I say the bloom should be on 50 percent so this weapon actually works, and maybe damage to 105%
The damage buff is unessesary (this weapon does more damage than people give it credit for) as well as the stun effect (you do realize no one will able to move once hit by a barrage of plasma right?).
What is up with the bloom on this weapon? Not even AR has it that bad and you can pulse to the trigger to get more accuracy out of that gun. Not with the Plasma Repeater nope, the shots go all over the place, placing in the niche of close range and nothing more. Plus the ammo consumption is bad on this weapon, you’ll throw away this weapon more times than most if not all default weapons. The only time it’s more accurate is when it’s overheated but that is not viable; the shots fire too slow to kill anything that is fully shielded or even one shot. So i agree with you in the accuracy department.
I remember the Plasma Repeater from the Beta, it brought terror into the hearts of all those who went up against it.

I know, right? It was an AMAZING weapon at the time. So many great things were in the beta… It’s a shame to see them gone.
i disagree with the stun effect

How come? If 343 can’t manage to buff accuracy or damage, stun would be the solution (well in my opinion).

Exactly, the AR needs this too it’s accuracy is pretty good on 85% bloom, but not the PR. AR and PR need a workout and everything else you said on the PR should be implanted as well.

They can definitly buff accuracy. Look what they did with all the other weapons. And they can increase damage of course, look what they’re doing with the magnum. They’re making it CE’s three shot killing machine. (Which I am looking forward to).

WOOT! CE Pistol FTW! Can’t wait! 
Now back to topic… 
Anyone at all? Does anybody else WANT this weapon to be great?
List updated. Any more ideas?
All that needs to happen is to make it overheat like a normal weapon instead of the RoF slowing down as you shoot.
Also I wasn’t aware the plasma repeater had any bloom. I think you’re confusing bloom with spread.

Bloom = The amount of spread caused by repeatedly firing a weapon. The more you spam, the less probable your shots will reach your target. The problem is that the repeater has an accuracy level of 1 and a bloom percentage of 100%. This is what makes the weapon so terrible. What I am requesting here is that 343 increases accuracy and removes bloom. This would make the weapon AMAZING. I am trying to get 343 to see this so they can fix the weapon. I mean, it really is a shame. The Plasma Repeater was such a great weapon in the beta. I don’t even know why Bungie nerfed it. It was my favorite Reach plasma gun at the time…
