I think so. It's a very n00bish way of killing someone, and requires little skill to get kills with when overcharging. I like shooting the plasma pistol in quick bursts, more like the plasma rifle. What do you guys think?

Overcharging the plasma pistol is just plain cheap.

it's not cheap, people don't usually get hit by an overcharge when we play, because it moves so slowly and people usually get out of the way, so no one i know really use them.

You -blam!- -blam!-wads, it's not cheap, it's a part of the game. Seriously. If you are too much of a n00b and get hit by them, then it's your own fault. I can use them well. Why do you think Bungie put it in? N00bs always say things are cheap...

Yeah. You have to be really stupid to get hit but don't say noob. You'll piss of the mods.

People use it to shoot other players in the back, or while they're dueling with someone else.

You know whats weird? That as soon as somethings is effectibe at killing you , it suddenly becomes "cheap" and "n00bish". I mean every weapon that can kill you easily is "cheap".

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

Charging the plasma pistol isn't cheap. You should have good enough dodging skills to avoid a simple charge shot from a medium to long distance. I agree with Sornos.

Charging is one thing, but having a team of four all overcharge their pistols constantly while you're alone in longest? THAT's cheap. And funny. No, I like the overcharge in multiplayer; in close range combat an overcharge-punch combo can take an overshield down to one red bar of health! Furthermore, some people simply can't fire the weapon as fast as a jackal, and overcharging sorta levels the field.
