[color=lime]PLASMA PISTOL- Once again, not much has changed. New look and sound, still
pretty useless[/color]



[color=lime]With my Thunderpad Turbo, I can hit a jackal with so many shots at once I can send it across the room through air and its neurtalized before it even hits the ground, shields down and everything. That was with just one plasma pistol in Halo 1![/color]

You can still overheat. and i agree, it's not useless. With little health after sheilds, dual weiling them will own. Take out shield in 1 shot, player in 2.

Dual wielding P pistol with magnum... that will be soooo awesome for taking down elites or for use in MP. And P pistols are easy to find in SP too...

two words- SUCKS BALLS. TAKES A BILLION SHOTS TO KILL SOMEONE. CHARGED SHOT DOES NO DAMAGE. WHY DO YOU THINK GRUNTS DO ANY DAMAGE W/ THEM, CAUSE THEY SUCK.

okay, that's more than two words but you get my point

it's the best weapon against elites on any difficulty. who says you need to switch to the assault rifle and finish him off. i just run up and hit him 6 or 7 times.

Actually..It only takes 12 shots to kill a human in multiplayer...An elites shield with one charged shot and about 7 to kill him....The plasma pistol is not useless at all...And the reason grunts suck with them is because they are GRUNTS...

do you sill think an overcharged shot will still take out all of MC's shields?...no that there is so little health after shields are gone would it be fair if you could take them out in one shot?...

[color=lime]I might of said it numerous time already but first to the only ones that know that, and thats not everyone here, and I can never underestimate the level of godsend that the ThunderPad from Longitech is. Man I sound like a commercial.[/color]

Pfffft...only losers need turbo for the plasma pistol.

I always thought about how nice it would be...but that takes all the fun (and challenge) out of it. Also, jackals are pretty damn scary with a plasma pistol, they shoot so fast and accurate.

The AR was god like in sp...a PP and AR your set. PP taking down the sheilds AR to pump 15 or 30 rounds into them and then you finish it off with a quick beat to the face.

There are no irrelevant quotes of historical figures here. Neither will you find any links, chain posts, memes, clan advertisements, self-promotions, or the tiniest of ASCII pictures.

So go away.

You can tell if someone hasn't played legendary by asking what they think of the Plasma Pistol. Most new people will tell you it sucks.

On legendary I can clean out a room of multiple elites with only a plasma pistol and plasma grenades. Shoot 'em with a charged shot, followed immediately by a toss, because after the shot for a split-second they are stunned and curl their arms in, and as soon as that happens the grenade sticks to their chest.

Yeah, that guy who made the movies; Legend, Winning isnt Everything, and In too deep? You may have heard of him on HBO... that was his strategy.


EDIT: His name is Mike Miller.

WATCH THIS MOVIE. It shows how legendary was meant to be played.
