::Now that is a good point.If you don't need something, don't bother buying it. The UNSC probably wasn't expecting "talking lizards" (jackals) and "gorillas" (Brutes) to invade Harvest. They also probably weren't expecting reptilian machines of genocide (Elites) to glass all their planets as well. Still, i am just sure that they would have at least tried to develop some plasma weapons in order to combat the Inssurectionists. And 500 years into the future and not nowing about plasma? I dont know, but we already know use fibre optics effectively, so i can't see why we don't understand plasma 500 years later. Again, just think. 500 yers ago (1550s) we didn't even have a radio. We communicated by letters (or probably couldn't either. Nowadays, youngsters use facebook, so there is a huge difference between what we used 500 years ago. --[[User talk:Unitedblah|Unitedblah]] 18:38, December 24, 2009 (UTC) | ::Now that is a good point.If you don't need something, don't bother buying it.

:::Uh, that would be inhumane? Ever think about that? Also, read the books. The UNSC are aware of the plasma technology and I would think there's to be some kind of plasma-based weaponry in their warehouse but again, like Smoke. pointed out, equipping soldiers with these weapons would be expensive and losing them would be a great disbenefit to the UNSC. The way the Covenant used them were totally different and stunned/surprised the UNSC (Covenant manage to manipulate the plasma and control its firing operations). Also, read the novels, graphic novels and listen to Sadie's Story and you'll see that the society has progressed a lot (Chatter, Personal AI, etc).<b>[[User:-Ascension-|<font color="#5D8AA8">外<font color="#9BDDFF">国</font>人</font>]]<sup>([[User talk:-Ascension-|<font color="#5D8AA8">7alk</font>]])</sup></b> 18:47, December 24, 2009 (UTC) | |||
