IIRC, you find a plasma rifle fairly soon, after you find the first cells for
it. Give it a little longer, and keep your eyes open. I think the first one is
in a locked cabinet, so be sure not to skip any of those.

There apparently another 'secret' one well before that hiding up on a
bunch of pipes. The first time I got it was in one of those scenarios
where it's in the middle of an open room and you just know what happens
when you pick it up ;p

Well, when I got some more cells I gave up and used the console to get
the plasmagun. Its the only time I've used the console as a 'Marine'.
Game's harder because there is more demons and less amo. I also got
the email about the BFG in abram's office but I never saw the office.
I guess I'll hold on a little longer, at least until it starts feeding
me BFG amo. Doom3 is lots of fun.

If you listen to Abram's voice recording you'll realise he as only
visiting Alpha. His office is... somewhere else :-)

Thanks, this game has lots of tricks, I love it. When I 'won' my exit
from alpha 3 I realized that the window was gone on the only exit from
the room after killing the 'dogs'. I restarted the whole level and
worked my way back only to find out that you have to kill the dogs
before some 'demon' throws a barrel through the window and breaks it
thus allowing an exit. Great Game.

Spoiler....
When you come to the section on Alpha 3 or 4 with the moving platforms,
instead of getting on a platform and heading off to the left, instead look
across the "chasm", to your right, and you'll see a recessed area with
stuff in it.

The first one is a while before the one in the cabinet, resting on some
overhead pipes. I spotted it purely by accident by the blue glow.
