I think plasma pistols should be completely taken out of matchmaking. I'm tired of someone winning off of a noob combo or being constantly killed by someone who can't get a kill without it.

nah it should stay i have been attacked by an annoying plasma pistol many times and i am sick of it but it is just another weapon in the halo universe. there are plenty of weapons that can be used to counter it. like a sword, or maybe a sniper from far away.

its a part of the game, if you cant handle it. you suck at the game. if your really good you can put yourself in a position to dodge the bolt anyway.

Part of the game there not going to take it out live with it. I proudly n00b combo since it is a strong tactic and, hey it gets ya kills doesn't it. Nothing really wrong with that.

Looks like someone doesn't know how to use their weapons properly.

Too bad. Even if you ARE tired of it, or get killed by it non-stop, I'm also proud to say that I N00B combo ppl all the time. i agree with everyone who replied to the original question. except for anyone who says yes. heres y.

1. It gets kills
2. It was put in the game for a reason.
3. If you're tired of it, use it.
4. If you can't deal, you suck.
5.Try to dodge/counter it.

Again, yes it can be annoying but its a great weapon. I LOVE N00BING PPL!!! WOOOO!!!! O YEA. BTW. Go ahead and call me a stuupid freaking newb. i don't care. i will jusyt own u 1V1 with my N00B COMBO OF DOOM

And make Halo 2 less varied. Christ it's bad enough with team rifles and mlg in every custom game, let's have some variation in matchmaking.

  • 06.24.2007 3:36 PM PDT

i don't like the noob combo and i think its retarded, but i'll use it if the other team does first. Its nice in games though where both teams just let it lay there

its pretty relatively easy to counter grenade then punch them or just run away if u can its not that hard me and a buddy of mine played a 2v2 game on sanctuary they're was no sniping on maps the whole time the other team tried to noob us. we beat then 30-16 lol so its not that hard to avoid/counter

if they are gonna take out any weapon it should be the sword. either take it out or put a energy level on it like in the campaign.

umm... you can't dodge a PP bolt. I think it should go. it doesn't take ANY skill AT ALL to use. you can own with it, but that doesn't mean you are good.

Still, noobs can be quick enough to kill you before you slash or shotgun them.

NEVER!
The PP has saved me so many times in games were the other team has all the power weapons. I try to stay away from the noob combo, but i use it a lot in 2v2...especially on ivory tower and beaver creek

theres basically an unrwitten rule dat you dont use the pp regulary, if thats follwed it's fine, but when used all the time it gets pretty cheap

but then wouldnt the better player be able to out-noob the less skilled player in the same way a better player will out br a less skilled player?

actually you can dodge a pp bolt, you can throw a grenade at it and stop it, you can slash it with the sword and drop a dual wielded weapon to prevent being hit by it.

you might be able to own with the combo, but the better player will counter you relatively quickly. so if you can run around noobing people non-stop, you are better skilled than them anyway.

Personally I hate the thing. It's a lot more fun when both teams let it lay. When one team goes for it time and again I usually stash it or if need be I use it against them. On turf it is brutal but normally the guys that use it are poor. If they are good with it they are usually good without it so It doesn't seem to make a huge difference in gameplay.
Getting zapped then popped in an instant is maddening but so is getting sniped by suprise. At least you can dodge the plasma sometimes.

its a weapon ,it can kill, why should it be taken out?
Lol. I'm sorry but the plasma pistol can't kill on its own, it needs help from another weapon.
