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 | 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''?

== 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) | |||
