OK, go to http://www.bungie.net/Games/Halo2/Gallery.aspx?Gallery=Screen shots&page =2
and then go to screenshot 04.13.04 and tell me what the deuce those little green things are!! They kinda look like needlers except happier and needlers arent green...Im probably missing something and Im gonna feel retarded but I need to know.

Ok maybe I wasnt clear, go to the screenshots section of Halo 2 on this site, go to the second page, look at 04.13.04 and those are definently not plasma pistol shots, plasma pistols shots are more big orbs with a trail

I was wondering that too. Possibly those are shots from the covenant carbine? Those are NOT plasma pistol shots, or even charged ones. Check out the LAST screenshot on the 2nd page, BOTTOM RIGHT.

Thank you! I was about to say....if people really think those are plasma pistol shots....and yeah that could be possible with the covenant carbine, seeing as no-one knows what its shots look like

It is the Plasma Pistol. In the Game Informer article there is a pic of someone shooting one and it looks exactly the same as this one.

If you have the Game Informer article on Halo 2, look on page 45. You can see its exactly the same. Im not talking about the charged shot from the guy at the bottom right (more like middle, all the way to the side right), but the guy falling off the ledge (middle towards the top). You can clearly see the shots are the same (this one and the one your talking about).
So this shot your talking about is coming from a Plasma Pistol.

I really dont think so, those are just the trails left by the shot, the things Im talking about are the shot itself and theyre alot skinnier. Plus even if you dont charge a plasma pistol it still looks like orbs with trails. Look at the original Halo screenshot page 8, 2nd row down to the right, thats a plasma pistol.

Look at the tip of the shot on both. Its exactly the same.

Alright think what you like. But seriously, one has a sparkly think on the tip and its no bigger than a needler shot and the other has a glowing orb and is as big as MC's head.
