As I remember, Bungie said that they wanted the Elites to have a weapon that matches the AR for multiplayer. In the campaign, we'll still see the PR, but for multiplayer the plasma repeater is the new primary elite weapon. I like it- feels powerful, and both it and the PR were really spray-and-pray weapons, much like the AR. Bungie's choice makes sense to me.
