A nagging question's possessed my mind ever since I read about the regular pistols in Halo 2 being "nerfed" (that is, toned down in potency) so players wouldn't dish out those lethal headshots (any seasoned multiplayer-gamer from the first Halo will know that the pistol was one of the deadliest weapons on the map- range and damage against unshielded targets played hell). And given there was a similar potency of Plasma Pistols, I'm worried that they too, might have been "toned down" for Halo 2, to make them less overpowered. :-( In the first Halo, charged blasts could drop even an overshield, and players with especially quick trigger-fingers could fire the Plasma pistol VERY quickly!
That being said, I'll admit that the Plasma Pistol was my single favourite weapon in the first Halo. Does anybody know whether it'll be powered down in Halo 2, or will it continue being the most underestimated weapon amidst the player's aresenal...?
