Subject: Plasma Pistol/ Newb Combo.

There has been numerous times I have thrown my controller in disgust in reaction to the opposing team using the newb combo and I understand that these are usable weapons on the maps that can be used freely. However, people fail to see how overwhelming and how almost unbearable it is to play a competitive game against those who can kill from a great distance with relative easy and minimal ability. Theres a reason its called the newb combo and I hope that those who take pride in their abilities would understand this. I recently played Beta and I can tell you from first hand that the maps are more evenly balanced and fair because, but not only to, the plasma pistol being toned down...a lot. I'm writing this, not to attack those who play Halo 2 and choose to use this combination of weapons, but to those in Bungie who can simply remove the plasma pistol from all maps in order to create a fair battlefield.

It's not going to happen. It would cause quite a bit of an uproar. All you can do at this point is either deal with it, and wait 'til Halo 3 comes out, or take the "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" route.

my other account, if you are gonna send me an FR, send it to this account and my Main GT.

if there is anything to take cover behind it is relatively easy to make the plasma charge hit a wall or whatever you hid behind

Yeah it can be pretty lame sometimes, but they've fixed it for halo 3.
