Talk:Kelos'vaarda-pattern storm rifle: Difference between revisions

I know it's role is the same as the plasma rifle, but saying it's a replacement isnt really accurate. Like the brute plasma rifle and the plasma repeater, the storm rifle is more of a sub-class weapon in the plasma rifle "family", and is used exclusively by the storm. Thus the name, "storm rifle". Had it been called anything else I could see it being a replacement, but due to it's name it is extremely likely that the weapon is affiliated with the storm covenant only. It isn't really a replacement of the plasma rifle as much as it is a substitution for the plasma rifle's role in the storm's arsenal as an automatic plasma weapon. Seeing that the storm developed the weapon by themselves, I doubt the Arbiter and his seperatist forces are running around with them. Chances are they are probably still using plasma rifles, which in gameplay are still superior in effectiveness compared to the storm rifle in most cases.[[User talk:SilentGamer64|SilentGamer64]] 02:06, 28 March 2013 (EDT)
