Subject: Why doesnt anyone use the Plasma Pistol?

IMO the plasma pistol is the most underrated weapon in Halo. Some of my favorite memories from playing Halo come from using the plasma pistol, and Im not talking about the noob combo. Maybe I just find it hysterical when I go up against someone with a DMR and Ive got a plasma pistol and they spew out curse words at me after I win. There was one instance when one guy literaly turned around and ran away, he didnt make it of course.

I really dont get it. Post your thoughts below.

Opinions are like butholes. Everyone's got one, nobody wants to hear about it.

I only use it in Invasion.

Overcharge + melee = kill

I don't know about you but I've only died to the plasma pistol a handful of times. Never have I died from it when I had a DMR though.

The PP is really good at breaking set ups.

Its an UP weapon in comparison to the rest of the sandbox. It's only good for the "noob" combo and dealing with vehicles.

The bigger and better your PP, the better it is at breaking things.

I usually only use it as a last resort in elite slayer though sometimes I'll use it just for -blam!-s and giggles. Like here and here

  • 12.31.2011 8:22 AM PDT

i only really pick it up when im out of ammo for one of my weapons, even then its only back up

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

It actually kicks ass in Reach...for some reason.

The PP will actually kill really fast if you lay on the trigger and are accurate with the shots.

the pp is the single best, most adaptable weapon in the game, it's capable of taking out infantry in a variety of ways, and dealing with vehicles, both land and air. even it's single shot is useful when spammed.

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

I only used PP to disable vehicles. I try my hardest not to resort to the combo.

  • 12.31.2011 8:43 AM PDT

I use the plasma pistol sometimes when i'm trying to stop a vehicle or take down the shield of a spartan.

Why not? It's useful, especially on maps like Countdown where enemies are always behind cover.

Use all tactics you have available to you to win regardless of whether or not they are 'cheap'. There's no such thing as video game honor

And so God called Moses to come forth but he came fifth and was therefore disqualified.

I use the plasma pistol-DMR/Needle rifle combo, whats the noob combo?

I like it. Even managed to use it in MLG last night to spawn kill someone with the combo. Must have sucked to be him.

It's one of those weapons that I'll always pick up if I'm on the area but I never really go looking for.

Well that's your opinion.

"noob combo" or not, i'll use any and all tactics to win. i don't think people refrain from using stuff in real wars because it's "too effective*" or "nooby" or "cheap".

*note: not counting MAD scenarios.

It's actually better than the plasma rifle, you squeeze the trigger a few times to get the shield down and beat your opponent to death. It should be more present, as it is really helpful in some situations

  • 12.31.2011 9:03 AM PDT

It's actually quite effective...I've gone whole games using it and won >:D

Can't troll me with that, bud. You'd best listen to the opinion of a player with more experience. It'll help you play better and spend less time on your respawn screen. Promise


Wasn't trying to troll anyone here buddy. Just stating that I have different thoughts than you on the subject and will stand by them. There's no need to bring up how much more experience you have than me when that has absolutely nothing to do with the thread topic.
