Sorry, ''SPNKr ''and ''Fuel Rod Cannon''? These weapons should be counters to all if they're counters to this. They are mega-power weapons, and as such shouldn't be counters; as even the worst player in history can kill anyone with these.

This article makes no mention whatsoever on how little damage this weapon does to unshielded players compared to its predessors. It even says its more powerful under the halo 3 section!

'''Power Cells '''and '''Plasma batteries '''may be similar devices in this context. Plasma Batteries being the explosive "scenery" seen in game, and the Power cells are what is used in the weapons core. Also note that in the book Contact Harvest the Unggoy used the Plasma Batteries as a source of light and warmth while on the space elevator (reference needed), this may be a primary or secondary purpose, we conclude that the latter is more likely. --Dark Scion

Okay, I can't see where we went off topic and directed this somewhat conversation towards plasma batteries, but can we please get back to the Cells?--[[User talk:GeneralKits34|Eustas P. Vanderbanger III]] 23:16, March 6, 2010 (UTC)
We are not off topic, we just said, "'''Power Cells''' and '''Plasma batteries '''may be similar devices". [[User talk:Dark Scion|Dark Scion]] 01:37, March 7, 2010 (UTC)
I can see how that would be seen, yes they might be in some way related, maybe just a typo in the book, but what I'm saying is that the way they described throughout the book says that they aren't related. I mean, they just grab them, they don't lug them, or heft them. Look, best course of action woud to contact Nylund himself and ask what he meant, but for now, I think they're different--[[User talk:GeneralKits34|Eustas P.

==Hey Guys...==
The Plasma rifle is in Multiplayer. Now, nobody flame me. Im looking at a leaked video of all weapons and items in Forge World. Going down the covie weapons list I can see both the plasma repeater and Rifle. Linky?

Nooooooooo. Leaking is bad. your bad! :([[User talk:Blahmarrow|Blahmarrow]] 11:53, September 4, 2010 (UTC)
== Reach Plasma Rifle role ==
First off the Plasma Rifle is in Multiplayer where it drains shields farster than the Plasma Repeater but over heats so it's still there also Elites can dual weild it in Campain only.'''[[User talk:Dragrath1|Dragrath1]] 22:41, September 22, 2010 (UTC)'''
==The Halo Plasma Rifle's similarity to the SG1 TER==
Does anyone object to my noting in the Trivia section that the Plasma Rifle bears a striking similarity to the Transphase Eradication Rod (TER) of Stargate: SG-1 TV show, first shown in the episode "Show and Tell", of which the TER preceded the Plasma Rifle first seen in Halo CE in 2001, whereas the SG1 episode "Show and Tell" was seen in 1999? My belief is that a Bungie artist may have accidentally seen the TER, the design stuck with him/her, and later the same design made its way in the form of Plasma Rifle. Does anyone agree or disagree, or does anyone object to this addition to the Trivia section? [[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 16:47, 10 July 2011 (EDT)Xamikaze330
==HR Plasma Rifle in HCEA==
When I watched the weapon sounds on Halo Waypoint, I couldn't help but notice that not only did it sound similar to the PR in ''Halo: Reach'', it also looks exactly the same, unless it got changed at the last minute before the game's release date. Shouldn't this be added into the article, like maybe in the Trivia section, or maybe a whole new sub-section on changes from ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' to ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary''? --[[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 12:24, 23 November 2011 (EST)Xamikaze330
:Most of the visual updates you see in ''Anniversary'' are recycled assets from either Halo 3 or Halo: Reach. So, it's not surprising that they look the same.— <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 14:05, 23 November 2011 (EST)
== ''Halo 4'': Shouldn't we mention...? ==
Shouldn't we mention somewhere that towards the end of the Covenant Civil War, the Plasma Rifle was replaced by the [[Type-55 Directed Energy Rifle/Advanced|Storm Rifle]] in ''Halo 4''? I think it is important that we mention that so that things don't get confused or something. --[[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 14:26, 18 June 2012 (EDT)Xamikaze330
:Nothing said that the production of the Plasma Rifle has been discontinued following the introduction of the Storm Rifle. — <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span>  14:28, 18 June 2012 (EDT)
== Halo 4 ==
In the Did You Know section, this weapon is listed as staying in the games throughout the entire series. The Plasma Rifle is NOT in Halo 4. Could someone please fix this? {{Unsigned|216.12.45.78}}
:Actually, I was told it does make a short appearance in the Prologue of ''Halo 4''. Unless you actually own a copy of ''Halo 4'', can you or can you not verify this?But, on the other hand, if it really is, then I think we could use a high-quality screenshot or two to confirm this.  --[[User:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] ([[User talk:Xamikaze330|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|contribs]]) 14:41, 9 November 2012 (EST)Xamikaze330
::'''UPDATE''': Thanks to the efforts of Dr Mutran, we now have proof that the Type-25 Plasma Rifle is definitely seen in ''Halo 4'', albeit only once temporarily in a cutscene during the prologue. So now you know. :-) --[[User:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] ([[User talk:Xamikaze330|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|contribs]]) 21:44, 9 November 2012 (EST)Xamikaze330
== Canonical status of marketing information ==
On the pages for both the normal plasma rifle, and the brute plasma rifle replicas from projecttriforce, there is a "backstory" section that states the folliowing:
''"Built using ancient design patterns dating to before the foundation of the Covenant, the Type-25 DER is crafted using a miraculous Forerunner plasma generator reliquary core carefully wrapped in Sangheili-designed and San ’Shyuum-refined controls and restrictors. The resulting weapon is a masterpiece of form and function carried exclusively by the Covenant’s most elite holy warriors. - See more at: http://www.projecttriforce.com/index.php?p=product&id=57#sthash.4hMQsyvW.dpuf"''
and
''"Known as the blood-hand by Jiralhanae, this variant of the Type-25 DER was manufactured at hidden assembly forges within High Charity in preparation for the High Prophet of Truth’s bloody takeover of the Covenant. Under its crimson plating the artisan-engineers in Truth’s employ were allowed to make modifications to the Type-25’s sacred design pattern to increase rate of fire and damage that would have been deemed heretical without a hierarch’s direct blessing. - See more at: http://www.projecttriforce.com/index.php?p=product&id=58#sthash.SvU2ogm4.dpuf"''
Should this information be considered canonical? [[User:Jabberwockxeno|Jabberwock xeno]] ([[User talk:Jabberwockxeno|talk]]) 16:29, 1 December 2014 (EST)
:I would say yes in that the info was likely derived from the marketing team at 343i. It's similar to Bungie providing the information that was on the card backs for the Joyride and McFarlane collectibles. There's sometimes some good information there. I would caution its use against more primary sources such as novels and games, but if it doesn't contain contradictory information, I don't see why it can't be used, unless it violates a policy of this wiki. When I was at Halo Fest in 2011, I got to speak to one of the marketing women from 343i and found out that she often used materials such as the Visual Guide I'd helped with to come up with the information that ends up on the toy packages like action figures, Mega-Bloks and more. Just my 2 cents. -[[User:ScaleMaster117|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117|talk]]) 18:41, 1 December 2014 (EST)
