Subject: Which Plasma Pistol Should Return to Halo 3?

Halo's a hell of a drug.

I liked the plasma pistol from HCE more because it seemed to have a better heat seeker to it. It felt like it would bend more to chase an enemy down. The one in H2 seems like it doesn't seek the enemy as well. I would like to see the original back in 3

Why is it the whole world is celebrating the release of Halo3 except Bungie's Halo 3 forums?

Halo's a hell of a drug.

I don't usually use it in MP. Mainly use it for campaign mode on Legendary.

pp should not have a seeking ability at all. it should be removed, and just fly in a straight line. that way at least the different combo's that capitolize on it would at least require some aiming to pull off.

Halo's a hell of a drug.

But it's an alien weapon. There needs to be some fancy type of technology involved. Seeking rules.

thanks for proving my point. take away the seeking and make people learn how to aim, just like every other weapon. i don't deny that other weapons are bogus in their own respects, but the pp completely disables sheids, even over-sheilds, it should not be able to chase it's enemy. if it is capable of forming an arch in the general direction then whatever, but the way it is now is just to cheesy.

ok, but then you have to make the plasma pistols bolt travel as fast as other weapons shots.

too a degree, but even the PR has a slower traveling beam then say a bullet, which make perfect sense really. i wouldn't mind if it was a little faster but it should still "sail" it's way to the target, not bolt at it like a bullet.

The h2 one felt WAY too weak. I mean, you might as well have been shining a flashlight at them.

if you were stuck with it in halo ce then at least there was a chance that you could defend yourself against someone cause the overcharge actualy hurt you if you shot at someone, in halo 2 if you are stuck with just that gun you might as well just fall over and die. it is worthless in a fight in close range

sorry, i don't mean "sailed" as in floated, i just don't know what word to use. if it moved at the same speed as the PR then that would be fine. and you can't dodge a PP burst by walking, unless your walking around a corner.

I hate the plasma pistol its to unbalanced and used with the BR its an impossible to beat combo. I use it only cause if I dont someone will it to me just makes the game to systamatic.

Are you kidding me? It seeks way more in Halo 2...Thats why people hate the PP/BR combo so much,the PP is almost impossible to dodge.

I want the CE one back in,because it seeks less

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

This may just go completely against the grain of this thread but oh well:

I want the Halo 3 Plasma Pistol in Halo 3.

I want a newish feeling weapon when i pick it up for the first time. Not entirely new, but newish. I don't want to feel like 'wow, this is JUST like the H1 or H2 PP.'

Halo CE

it was acually a gun back then, not just a shield taker outer.....lol Anyway, CE because you could acually use it to kill someone, the tracking wasn't imposible to dodge, and the single shot worked pretty good. Unlike the one in halo 2, u can't even kill anyone with it. Halo CE you could kill someone with two power shots, and I don't know how many of the single shots, but not too many. CE all the way

Definitely Halo CE plasma pistol. It was great if you knew how to use it well and used it with the right guns.

I really don't care if it does return they have to balance it so it's not to overpowered or weak.

Yeah, the seeking just makes it even easier to take down someone's shields. It should be a normal Plasma Pistol with no seeking.
