don't you think it would still hurt to get hit with a huge burst of plasma?

Go Rams and Missouri!

Plasma will just bypass the stamina easily (like it does to shields) and put a huge hit on your health. I'm guessing a charged plasma pistol will take out all your stamina and shots after will take down your health.

Stamina takes the place of shields and isn't as strong or high in quantity, health is like CoD1 or Halo 1 where you must get health packs to regain it. Health comes from kiosks throughout the city run by the Superintendant.

Charge...BACKWARDS!

He's saying that they're charging there PP, but that only works on shields. It doesn't even hurt. Just depletes your shields. So it wouldn't be logical if you were to over charge your PP at something without shields.

Gameplay elements change from game to game. I'm sure the plasma pistol will be better against an unshielded opponent for campaign and firefight.

Well in the stories an overcharged Plasma Pistol shot will melt your face off so... yeah.

Plasma pistols, charged or not charged, are deadly angainst any foe. If you may remember in Halo: Combat Evolved, you can kill enemies with overcharged shots and can also be killed by overcharged shots

ive seen some of the fire fight videos, alot of the jakals tend to charge thier plasma pistol... but ODST's have no shields...that makes the plasma pistol pretty much useless in fire fight. its not strong either. why do covies even use that toy? its pretty much only effective when a drone is useing it.


Actually you do have shields, but not like the spartan shields. Our shields are actually called stamina. If that depletes down to 0% you die. That is what health packs are for in the game. To recharge you stamina. (Shields)

Wrong, stamina recharges at a halo 1 rate. You have health and you recharge health with packs.

I would say that's a pretty effective weapon against non-shielded odsts then...

yea but in halo ce the pp was ALOT stronger, and this game uses halo 3's engine


That's not the problem. all they need to do is open the plasma pistol file in guerilla and modify the damage output. I've done it in CE before so that the pp shoots sprays of bullets that do the same damage as a plasma rifle.

True it uses halo 3's graphics engine and gameplay engine, but they can edit weapon physics, which they may have done. I guess we will all have to wait for it to come in about 2 months
