I really think that Halo 2 shouldnt have that plasma pistol, and neither should Halo 3, who agrees?

Alot of people probably do and should.

From what I've read, they've basically eliminated the possibility of a "n00b combo" like that in Halo 3.

Yeah! Let's all hate a weapon combination because it kills fast. That makes sense. I hate it when people get mad at a weapon or weapon combination because you can get easy kills from it. It's not all too hard to dodge the noob combo. Just don't let yourself get hit by the plasma pistol. You can either drop a dual wielded weapon before the blast hits you or simply run behind a wall. If you die, you die. It is a killing game after all. People complain too much about things like this, the sword, the rockets, the shotgun, etc. They're weapons. The people killing you with them are smart for using them. If you don't use them, then too bad for you.

i don't really have a hard time with the noob combo. it sucks when you get hit with it, but you can hide behind something too stop the blast from hitting you. Fata1 Gh0st had a point. the sword and rockets and shotgun are pretty much the same thing. it's almost as annoying as playing against someone who is really good with a sniper rifle. i don't see a reason of having the plasma pistol in Halo 3 at all. in the Beta in didn't track even when i was two feet away from the opponent and the reticule was red. i'd rather stick a warthog when it's driving right at me then try to charge up a shot and stop it from moving. so i will agree with that point. what am i going to use that will kill the sentinels in campaign mode so easily if the plasma pistol isn't as good as it used to be?

I agree with Fata why hate the plasma pistol just beacuse it takes down your shield completely. If that's the case why not hate rocets, shotgun, sword, or snipers because they have the possibility of killing you rather than just taking down your shield. Its a part of the game. The player that picks it up is smart for that, they are trying to win doesnt that make sense to make the bst of your advantages? Also like Fata said its not that dificult to hide behind a corner, throw a weapon, or even crouch under the blast in close range. (Has to be in close range to work, if far away the blast will just track itself to you anyway)

I got a Killtac with the PP/BR combo. Four shots with BR and 4 PP charges. Easiest kill ever.

Long story short: Why it tracks we'll never know. It's just stupid and abused.

But, like Rockets and Sword, they are "Power weapons" in Halo 2 (or this is how MLG sees it). If you see it, just grab it so at least the other team cannot.

It's still there, it's just really toned down.

You can dodge it now pretty easily if you see it coming (and if you have some cover.) However, there were a few times when it definitely felt ......"overpowering"

Like in ViP on Valhalla this single guy rushed me and killed with combo in a heartbeat. I was so shocked I was all like "OMGWTF???" LOL seriously though, it's still potent if it catches you off guard.

I never said that I hate it, I said I would like it out of the game. It would be better if it wasn't so overused. And people don't always use it to win. I have been in many situations where I am the only one left against 4, they have 34 kills I have 10, And they use the noob combo on me not even giving me a chance to fight back. It is a big mistake to make a weapon that lowers your whole shield. What skill does that take? I bet you don't say that during a game and they are using the combo on you, I'm pretty sure you are made that you can only move an inch before seeing your dead body lieing on the ground being teabagged because you have just been noob combo'd by some noobs. And to them that takes so much skill that sometimes they need to teabag you.

They should atleast lower the damage for Multiplayer. And it's different with rockets and swords and snipers. Those have more weaknesses. Noob combo can't make you commit suicide, and aiming is better, and you can't just back away like with a sword or shotty.

we all hate it because the peopel with skilld get killed with the people without skills cuz you know the plasma pistol locks on kinda to a certain distance

EXACTLY!! That's why I hate the n00b combo! It takes almost no skill to use it! I hate it when I'm on a roll, killing everyone, when suddenly, out of the blue, I die instantly from a n00ber. I had a rampage the other day, so some guy decides he wants to kill me because of that. I was ten times better than him and he knew it. So what did he do? HE PICKED A PP AND KILLED ME!! I kill n00bers all the time even when they had hit me, but it shouldn't be able to do a 90 degree turn around a wall and still hit you!

Sorry, I've been needing to say that for a long time.

This is a RETICULE, and that is a RETICLE. I'm using the latter to aim. And what are you using?

I agree with you 100%. There's hardly any skill involved at all to use the PP+BR combo. However, there's about the same amount of skill (or the lack thereof) involved in using the RL, sword, shotgun, SMG+PR, spamming grenades, or sweep-sniping.

It's not the PP+BR combo that gets on my nerves, or any other of the easy-kill-weapons for that matter. It's the people who think they're awesome and keep talking trash because they can kill you over and over with one of those weapons or combos right after you spawned with nothing but your SMG, but get their butt handed to them on a silver plate if you catch them without their precious power weapons.

Is't the only weapon people have been using lately. I'm sick of it, but it is a legit tactic.

Might as well take out the Snipers because that can take out your shields in one hit. Oh, don't forget about the Sword and Rocket Launcher.

Cuz Halo is all about skill?

Rocket's dont take much skill, kinjd of like sword, shotgun, and lets not forget all the pure spray and pray dual weapons. This game isn't very skill based all together, its more about WEAPON and MAP control. So grab the PP/BR before someone else does.

I think there shoud be a plasma pistol because eventhough people say your a so called "noob" by using it you can say that about the rockets or the sword to. Those dont take any skill either. You have a better chance of sheilding yourself away from the "noob" plasma pistol then from the sword and rockets. Its not so hard to do. I have been playing this game for a long time now.
