[color=lime]I always try the sneak and stick stradegy first because you dont alert your presence and location to the enemy when a grenade goes of. If the grunts are sleeping you could wake them but they would'nt generally know where you were. Also always try to stick a sticky on the upper back of the enemy because they always run into the crowd and you can get them all with one grenade. If you got them in front they never run like the other way and its less effective.[/color]

The plasma pistol is my main gun, and I use it in combination with a shotgun. It's not useful for outdoors, but indoor areas are great for it. I like to slow down an opponent with the plasma psitol so I can catch up and fill his ass full of buckshot.

It's also great for taking down someone's sheild with a full charge then beating their face in.

yall are also over looking that it is themost accurate weapon besides the sniper, the shots always go where they were pointed and it doesnt do the funnel thing like the rest of the weapons.

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.

Yeah, I actually think the Plasma Pistol is the second best gun of all of 'em (behind the human pistol of course). Its good for pretty much anything; its just a little less effective in large, open spaces (Blood Gulch comes to mind).

[color=lime]Thats true for the Super blast, but I know that the regular shot actually starts to fall near the end of its maximum range before it dissipates.[/color]

I can take an Elite down so fast with a Plasma Pistol on Halo 1. And yes, I mean on Legendary. I cant wait to dual-wield them.

When I want to go crazy with the plasma pistol. Like the grunts and jackles do on legendary in campaign mode. I have to hold the controller a lot different so I can pull the trigger faster. I think it was because I don't use the small controller enough. I need to though, at all the lans I own with the small controller and sniper rifle.

I agree, the plasma pistol owns elites on legendary. The first time I ever played legenday, the plasma pistol with the pistol made it so easy. Especially on The Maw.

PP is really useful in small levels like wizzard and espescially derilic (sp.?). what really works is to pull trigger really fast and gradually move behind them and smack in the back. really good people can pull that off almost everytime

[color=lime]I realized that on Lengendary the the Jackals shoot the Plasma Pistols so fast that It did'nt seem realistic because they shot it like it was a full auto, I then started to take my right hand and pointy finger to hit the trigger to do the same but I had to take my thumb of the right analog thumb stick which took away my aiming ability, so before I had to shoot really fast I had to preaim first. I got tired of doing that and eventually bought the ThunderPad with turbo fire so I didn't have to sacrifice my aiming ability while shooting extremely fast with the Plasma Pistol.[/color]
