Since ODSTs dont have sheilds, this weapon will become even more useless, it can be kinda useful for stopping wraiths at close range on Halo 3, but even then there are far better ways of doing that and not all maps have wraiths

Go back to being a failure kid.

You can't fight other ODSTs in ODST....
Only co-op with them.

I am a Halo 3 Failure.

The Plasma Pistol can be deadly, when in the right hands, especially when used against an unshielded opponent. Not to mention Grunts tend to fire rapidly, and they're in packs, and with a Brute Spiker / Brute Plasma Rifle / Brute Shot also firing against you, it's not going to be easy.

  • 06.27.2009 5:15 AM PDT

Apart from anything else, one of the achievements requires you to use it. So I'd say it's there.

But I think it will do damage when it overheats. It hurt the master chief's hand when he used it, imagine what it will do if your wearing gloves like ODSTs..

Take the pain. =P

Hmm, I never thought of that. Though I recall a video clip where the ODST shoots an overcharged blast, and recovers like normal.

But anyway, PP is so useful in campaign, paired with the regular pistol, it's deadly. That is probably what I will end up using for most of campaign.

The Plasma Pistol has been confirmed in FireFight and Campaign.

except that ODST's can't dual wield weapons so that combo is no longer as effective as it was in H3

1. We've seen it used in multiple videos.
2. There's an achievement from the leaked achievement list that requires one.

If they are bringing back the Halo CE pistol (kinda) then maybe they'll bring back the halo ce Plasma pistol. The halo ce Plasma pistol was stronger

Yeah, they should bring that back. It was fun to use and it wasn't almost completely useless like the H3 plasma pistol.

  • 06.27.2009 7:37 AM PDT

That dun matter much. I did the same thing in the original Halo. I'd just switch.

Except, you know, Plasma weaponry should burn through any ODST's armor like a torch to rice paper.

Look at one of the e3 demos he even uses it.

Maybe the Plasma Pistol will do health damage like it did in Halo 1.

Yes, if you did see the achievements video, it requries a plasma pistol to "damage" something.
