The only ones I didn't know were the floating drop-shield and the fast assassination on moving platforms. Cool, but nothing that made me go "wow!"

 

The rest of them were just obvious and stupid imo.. =P But I do have one question, why the hell did it take so many charged plasma shots to kill someone? Last I remember, a single charged shot takes down someone's shields entirely.

I think that's because the sole purpose of an over-charged plasma shot is to neutralize an enemy's shield, and not to actually whittle their health down.

Actually that makes a lot of sense. The Plasma shot's ability is to unpower machinery like the armor suits, ghosts, banshes, wraiths, warthogs, etc, and not for actually hurting someone. I've never thought of it like that before.
