In Halo, I always believed this:

Plasma Weapondry = Anti-Shields
Human Weapontry = Anti-Health

This excludes heavy damanging weapons: sniper Rifle, Tank Cannons, Rockets and Fuel Rod Shots....


That's exactly how the gameplay mechanics of Halo worked. Have you ever played an all plasma Death match? The strength of shields and health is practically switched.

I gotta say you do have a good point. Although the thing about plasmas is, they're easy to dodge. I used them in legendary in Halo all the time, but in multi they're useless because all it takes is a sidestep and it misses, plus the fully charged blasts are slow, so somebody can shoot the sh1t outa you before your plasma shot even reaches them.

It takes one full charge to take down the shield, and one full charge to take down the health. Let's do some math, it takes two full charges to take down a player at normal health, right?
So let's say you are dual weilding two plasma pistols, you can charge them and shoot them at a player in a second or two and completely kill him if you have enough aiming and skill (which most players will have) . Sounds uneven? heck yeah. I really hope bungie realizes this and the totally decrease the power of the fully charge plama pistol ball or do something to level it out. I don't want the plasma pistol to become the next pistol.


Well remember the shields are twice as strong.

[color=lime]I got the Thunderpad from Logitech. It can do Turbo Fire to what ever buttons I asign it too. It can like fire 12 shots per second and Halo 1 programming can barely keep up with it. NOW IMAGINE DUAL WIELDING THEM! Im so gonna kick arse![/color]

Im not going to read all this -blam!- but it DOES NOT TAKE TWO OVER CHARGED SHOTS TOO KILL A PERSON! One takes out sheilds and then the other one takes like a 1/3 of the health down. Also there is new armor so this is all going to change from halo 1. I wouldn't overcharge two just one and then do quick bursts with one and then with the other one when it coools down.

In making the sheilds stronger and health weaker, bungie did do something right. At least now the covenant weapons are actually superior now.
