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.
