Original had a much more reasonable feel to it. I'm not arguing realism but making the PP an insta lock on and hit weapon really ruined its game play. Leave it as straight shot with limited lock on to aid it in landing further away shots .

Also the classic was capable of landing kills on it's own. There was a very visible amount of damage done per shot and the freeze helped out it's weak firepower by stalling the return fire of your foe.

definitely the first game's PP

the stun-effect it has is great if you're behind someone, and the seeker thing isn't as good, so it would be much harder to do the OMFG-Noob-Boi-With-BR-And-Plasma Pistol combo

So then I said, "Wait a minute! That is my sister!"

I don't truely think they need the PP it kinda ruins the game for multiplayer. I do believe they should bring back the stun effect from the Plasma Rifle in Halo :Combat Evolved.

people who choose halo ce or halo 2 like the noob combo right? I hate it! There is a purpose though. Halo 3 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.


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


No, it should be just like the Halo 1 plasma pistol, which has seeking abilities, but a significantly less amount than the Halo 2 plasma pistol. Without a small amount of seeking ability the plasma pistol would be a useless weapon like the needler (which they need to up the seeking on this weapon and make the explosions bigger and more damaging).

Plasma pistol should be like Halo 1's except maybe change the look a little to make it a little fresh.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

The seeking needs to be severely reduced, like it was in Halo CE. In Halo CE there was no combo that dominated all, because the weapons weren't nerfed so dual wielding would be okay, though there was a better solution..and the seeking wasn't as severe.

Hopefully Halo 3 will take more skill than Halo 3..removing the combo will be one step closer to just that.
