I was wondering... in order to beef up plasma weapons (if they're even going to be in the game) you could make them more consistent with the fiction. A near miss from a plasma bolt still generates intense heat. What if a near miss from a plasma bolt could still take down shields (maybe like 1/4 - 1/2 the damage a direct hit would give.

We already know Halo can't detect headshots, and now you want it to calculate near misses?

Let's reward people for missing shots. Is Starwolf feeding you his ideas or something?

Sounds cool for cinematic purposes but it would likely be a pain in MM when being spammed. I suppose if if the Plasma only partly hit it could do partial damage but thats more complex than it needs to be. I would rather they find a visual manner to show off how devastating plasma weapons are, as described in the books.

Good games (kind of) folks. Connections were awful, though, couldn't stand any more of it. Well, that and the semivitriolic argumentative nature of the entire thing.
