walk behind any kind of barrier, or, if they are too close, melee. or if there is no barrier, try to fight back and accept it as any other weapon that would kill you without cover.

EAT THIS LIST!

*Kill them before you do, a combination of grenades and even just a wimpy SMG can take them down, if you're hit by the plasma Pistol, you still have a chance if your maneuvering is erratic and unpredictable, especially in close quarters, where the Battle Rifle becomes a tad sub par to the SMG.

*If you're a smart player you'll know not to be in the open or being in a hallway, this is where I usually die from anything. Always keep track of everything close to you and memorize it, I did that a few times where I just strafed into a wall when a Plasma pistol overcharge was coming at me, then I countered and killed him.

*Pick up the Plasma Pistol first :p

*If you're going to be in the open, still create a lot of distance between enemies or structures where your opponent may be hiding.

*One of the best ways is to once you've been killed by a PP+BR person or spotted him, report to your teamates so they know and can initiate a good counter or where to stay away from and such.

*It might seem silly, using a frag grenade as a smoke grenade can work wonders sometimes for a lot of situations. Play with that idea for a while.

*I can't remember how it's done, but I think it's possible to "melee" the overcharge out, by trying to get it to hit your gun but not you, I think this only works with stickies but you can try it anyway, works well with a big gun like the Brute Shot. Happens to Brutes all the time in Campaign, it makes me mad.

*There's another trick when you Duel wield a weapon, drop it at the right time so the bolt hits the dropping gun, instead of you.

That's my list, it won't matter in Halo 3 though.

If it's on the map, use it. Everything has its use.

if your dual wielding hit Y right before it hits you and the gun will absorb the blast and you will take no damage, get behind a wall, keep your distance, and get the gun first!

No, if Bungie thought the plasma pistol was useless, they wouldn't have put it back into Halo 2. The plasma pistol truly was a piece of crap weapon that was good for nothing in Halo: CE, they wouldnt have put it in Halo 2 the same way. The plasma is an effective weapon for those who are whoring on the oversheild. In Halo 2, Bungie gave this weapon more attention and a stronger punch. IMO, the plasma pistol is a useful weapon, admit it guys, you love when your pwning with it, and you hate when you are pwned with it... DEAL WITH IT.

Ok if you're any good at this game we call Halo you can find a way around the noob combo, if not STFU and quit the game because you suck.
