With the new armor type. There is no health. So when your sheilds run out you will only be able to take just a few shots then your dead. Now this worry's me because if the Plasma Pistol removed the sheilds in one full loaded shot in the first Halo.

What will happen in Halo 2? If the pistol can remove your sheilds in one fully loaded shot.. Then will the Jackel's own you?

I think they may change the plasma pistol in some way to prevent this happening.

That idea is from a leaked Beta pic. It will not stay that way. We don't know how it's going to be.

Bungie owns everything, you have no rights.

In what way? Not able to power the weapon up? Or having it take off half of your sheilds? I'd rather have it remove half your sheilds. Since the new armor type has much stronger sheilds.

THERE IS A HEALTH BAR. It just wasn't in the e3 demo. Stop making topics about how you hope its there.

There is health!!! The HUD wasn't finished and therefore you do not see a health INDICATOR.

Edit: triggerhappy beat me. Damnit!

so that means that either you run away a lot, or are so careless that you let them get behind you.

I dislike health, and besides having health in Halo 2 woud make it very difficult seeing as they have removed the health packs (i'm not sure if any of what i just seid is true, please feel free to correct me)

health or no health its relaly all the same. once your shield popped in CE it took one shot from pistol with full health or 1 red health. didnt matter. without health it still will take 1 shot.. and the BR has been confirmed by my friend ,who has played halo 2, is pretty much same as pistol.

i take it you suck with the pistol? its obviously the best gun in the game. for me, it suits long-range , mid-range and close-range. my pistol vs. your shotgun close-range i win

He was talking about the plasma pistol, and no, the plasma pistol does not suck, no gun sucks in Halo if used properly (even the needler), and a plasma pistol is an excellent way to take down elites.

If you shoot an elite with a charged plasma pistol, he is momentarily shocked, so right after the shot you stick him with a plasma grenade. Easiest way to clean up a room full of elites on ledgendary (or anything else).

Harry Dunn...you mush suck then....plasma pistol is over all the best gun....as long as you have a fast trigger finger....you can be good with it...even if you had overshield with a shotgun....i would still kill you first.....charger up.....then shoot my gun at you till it burns out, or i kill you, which ever comes first

the plasma pitol is THE BEST GUN EVER. if its long range, take out their shield with charge, then shoot em till they die. if its close range take out shield with charge then smack em to death. of course i may just like melee too much. in legendary i just run up to gold elites and punch em (another reason i like the p pistol, u can fight old school) ,and of course, i always win.

Probably the p pistol overcharge will take your shields down to like 3/4 so dual plasma overcharge, means that your shields will be gone and you will only need one or two shots to kill you
