I was looking forward to reading a well written and compelling argument. I didn't get either. You fail.

Halo 2 discussion goes in New Mombasa.

By the way, the plasma pistol is one of the most powerful weapons in the game against shielding. Remember there is no health.

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.

Too true. The Plasma Pistol destroys shields, not health. Get another weapon to finish them off after the first blast.

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.

I can't imagine how I could have gotten through the most meager of ranks without a good ol' fashioned Plasma Pistol + Magnum combo. It's really incredible how much two little pistols can do, or how unbelievably fast they can kill. There's barely an instant between the plasma bolt hitting the target and the target's brains being splattered all over the floor.

Hm. Dual wielding tends not to work for me against Elites. I like the security that blasting them with plasma then quickly switching to a finisher can have -- with dual wielding I sometimes fire my finisher too early and end up alerting the Elites who dodge the plasma.

But then again, who cares if it works for them?
