*For gameplay reasons, plasma is less lethal to unshielded [[NPC]]s in the ''[[Halo Series|Halo games]]'' than in the novels. In the games, [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] can take a barrage from a plasma weapon without being incapacitated, but in the books there are several incidences of plasma easily burning through both armor and flesh. This disparity is due to gameplay mechanics, rather than being a canon contradiction. | *For gameplay reasons, plasma is less lethal to unshielded [[NPC]]s in the ''[[Halo Series|Halo games]]'' than in the novels.

*It seems that the power of the plasma depends on what color the plasma is. For example the [[Plasma Pistol]] shoots out green plasma but is not very powerful, the [[Plasma Rifle]] shoots blue plasma and is more powerful, the [[Brute Plasma Rifle]] shoots red plasma which is slightly more powerful than blue plasma, while the forward turret on a [[Phantom]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'' shoots out purple plasma and is the most powerful. It should be noted that in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and ''[[Halo 2]]'', the plasma on some of the plasma based weaponry can be seen even when [[Active Camouflage]]/[[Invisibility]] has been activated. | *It seems that the power of the plasma depends on what color the plasma is.
