on normal i shot 2 charged shots of plasma pistol at an elite and he didnt die and i was like WTF!
Too true. The Plasma Pistol destroys shields, not health. Get another weapon to finish them off after the first blast.
Half my kills and every last kill on an Elite in Legendary for me is the fault of the Plasma Pistol. It's easily one of the deadliest weapons in the game when used correctly, but not when used alone. It almost hits the mark of "overpowered". Maybe if you didn't try to spray and pray you would kill more with it.
Agreed. My tactic is fire an overcharged blast, then finish off with (preferably) a Battle Rifle, if not something else human.
And (to the starter of this thread) - the Plasma Pistol operates exactly the same as in Halo - I don't know what you're talking about when you say it's inferior. If anything, it's faster and even more deadly.
