I would say that it's most definitely named after the Greek goddess. It's a common theme in the Halo Universe.[[User:The Ragin Pagan|The Ragin Pagan]] ([[User talk:The Ragin Pagan|talk]]) 23:25, 21 January 2018 (EST)

You should ask Bungie that. Until you change their mind, we're keeping their name for their rifle. Troubleshooter 22:37 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey, mistakes happen, I'm glad I was able to help out and make things clearer. Coming back to this with what I know and understand I'd like to clarify something. First Jora(Elite 92, whatever) I wouldn't definitively say Particle Acceleration is just Plasma focused into a beam. From what I understand, Particle Acceleration deals with electrically-charged Elementary particles being propelled to high speeds. Much different then ionizing gas. You can think of Plasma (in how it destroys something) like fire, it does it from the outside and works its way in. Particle Beams, in a destructive way works like (and I'm sorry I cannot think of a better analogy for the moment) filling up a water balloon until it pops. It all happens from the inside out.

::::Sorry for irking you, Durandal; I was only attempting to respond in a thoughtful way to Andrew Nagy's above request for a link. He was attempting to find an original Bungie flavor text that specifically mentioned the Spartan Laser as being rushed into production (his words) or at least placed on the assembly line at the very end of the Great War. I simply explained why he might not be able to find such a link. By saying that the books are considered canon by Bungie (the ultimate authority on all things Halo), I simply meant that it was canon; at the end of the day, what Bungie says goes. I meant what I said in a positive context,and I apologize for not wording more carefully and accidentally leaving paths open for misinterpretation. I have also deleted the misplaced title and put our conversation under the proper heading.

Why is every "laser" word in this article in all caps? Is it supposed to be like that or did someone mess with the article? [[User talk:General Heed|General Heed]] 19:53, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

:While I recognize that the word "laser" is an acronym just like radar, sonar, etc. the wikipedia article does not capitalize every use of the word laser on neither the laser article nor laser related articles. The same is true for sonar and radar. So if you want it to be grammatically correct, you don't capitalize every single one. Ghost sangheili}}

"costs more than 4 freaking warthogs" We don't really know how well the UEG's economy is.  If it is doin' well, then it may be worth it.  Also think about it, with one shot it can pierce the armor of an M808B Main Battle Tank.  It could be a really good anti-vehicular weapon.  Especially because it's pretty clear that ammo amounts in the games are balanced for gameplay.
