ok so me and my friends have had this idea for a while everyone HATES the noob combo even people who use it hate it if its used agianst them so heres a way to stop it

When the plasma pistol overheats u must wait for it to cool down to switch guns cuz plasma is supposed to cut clean through metal and the stuff coming off the pistol when it overheated is PLASMA i know theirs still a way to be a noob with it

Pistol+Plasma pistol duel wilding combo(but halo 2s pistol had no range so just keep this pistol)
SMG+PLASMA PISTOL duel combo(agian SMG has no range at all)

i belive this would stop the noob combo completly

Good idea. Making you wait just a few seconds to be able to switch guns is a very good idea.

How about they just work to make the lock on not outrageous?

Halo 1 PP had mild lock on and tracking to help its slow "bullet" speed while charged for longer range targets. This plus it had the ability to actually kill a target on it's own quite well (just overcharge ot blow out the shields let the cool down occur, blast about 6 times and you are done plus the freeze effect would give you some time to fire and maneuver).

Just make it the classic halo 1 PP and you already have a fine weapon. I rememebr that that old pistol had to cool down before weapon changes and even still the lock on was not as out of control so it was not used as it is today with the BR it was not used as such with the old pistol unless you were sure the enemy could not move much (down a hallway/ other confinement)

not that bad of an idea, fo course if they did that they also have to do it to the plasma rifle, which doesn't seem right since its not that great a gun to begin with

Quae caret ora cruore nostro?
P.S. I love you.

Thats the best idea I have heard yet.

Give the BR a switch delay. Make the Chief perform a quick weapon check like he did with the M6D.

I like the idea. Longer cooldown would stop the cheap players from using the plasma pistol. Along with that, its tracking could also be reduced.

No need for both. Ether one could stop it.

Yes and take out the sword lunge, and area damage from rocket, and make it so snipers take more shots to kill a person with. Christ, deal with it.

The tracking is the only problem. Cooldown would ruin ALL plasma weapons.

And yeah, Opey could probably win that game without using his BR. Best SMG user in Halo.

Pretty good idea. They should just make the Halo 3 PP like the one from Halo CE. I think it did that. And the PP from Halo 2 doesn't even feel like a gun. It takes forever to kill anybody. And a charged PP shot does absolutely no damage to your health. Bring back the Halo CE PP!!

Rockets and sword take skill? Pffft. Like I said though the tracking is the problem. Get rid of that and it makes it so you actually need SKILL to use it. Although I wouldn't whine if its back in H3.

Or you guys can just stop complaining about how cheap it is just because you cant kill the person smart enough to use it.
