halo best game ever

i reckon that the plasma pistol over charge ability will now hurt you because in halo 2 and 3 it only drained you shields and thats all it did it would hurt you any other way but now the fact you haven't got the shields it'll just go though your stamina and hurt your health or will it just drain your stamina whioch is really weak anyway what do you think?

Try using some more periods.

I don't know what to think, I'd imagine it would just drain your stamina. The normal shots will probably do a bit more damage to your health though.

I think that it will drain your stamina down. But if you have low stamina, it will take that down and cause a little damage. And if you have no stamina, then it will inflict damage to you. This is what I think.

It does hurt in Halo 3 just not very much, it has the worst physical damage of any weapon except maybe plasma rifle which may be the same, just with a higher rate of fire. It takes about 30 non charged shots to kill someone with no shield with a plasma pistol.

Wrong actually. If you play a custom game with "instant kill" as the damage modifer and no shields the regular PP shots will kill, but the overcharge won't.
IMO the overcharge should be able to damage more than just shields if fired at an unshielded opponent.

if it does no damage at all when you have no shields maybe it won't do damage at all to you in odst so it will be just usless agaisnt you but then again why would bungie do that they want you to suffer to all the guns

An over charge shot will take down your stamina and take some health out too. Regular shots can drain your stamina fairly fast. So its a little more effective than it use to be.
