i think they need to take out the plasma pistol cuz to many ppl use it with the battle rifle. i mean ppl call it the noob combo for a reason it cuz its for noobs. i dont even know how to use it well cuz i never if very little use it and if i do i use the plasma pistal with the smg which isnt even close to the combo.

I hate the BR and Plasma pistol combo as much as the next guy but I do not feel they should take it out. I feel they should make the plasma pistol's damage much less, so it can only take out about half someone's sheilds or so.

wow, banzorz! I love that combo. It's not cheap, it's called strategy. Hmmm use a weapon that strips your enemies shields then pop them in the head? Sounds like a good idea to me.You all just whine cause you suck and can't dodge it or kill the guy before he gets you with it.

Hey, sgtbck, please enlighten us as to how you dodge a plasma bolt when there is no cover around. Please sir, share you're wisdom with the rest of us simpletons. We would all appreciate it greatly.

Now, plasma pistol should stay, only thing they need to do is tone down the massive tracking abilities. I've seen bolts turn corner's to hit me. And it should only go on for so long, not chase you until it hits you or something else.

Yup. Being able to dominate with a weapon combo which kills the opponent easily and requires you to no longer use any other weapons is strategy. [/sarcam] It's amazing how some people will hide behind silly excuses for why it's called the noob combo. It sucks becuase it's unbalanced. In order to beat the noob combo, you yourself have to use it. It then makes any duel wielding weapon, shotguns, and brute shot ineffective. Making half the weapons in Halo 2 pointless.

Back on topic: THe plasma pistol should not be removed. They should just lower the follow ratio and the power of it.

Rockets are not dominate at close range.(you'd kill yourself.) Nor can a rocket follow a person and take down their sheild, as the Plasma pistol can. Plus the Rocket launcher has really limited ammo and usually 1-2 are found on the map. The plasma pistol is relatively high on ammo, along with the BR/carbine. You can find usually 2 plasma pistols on a map, and around 4 BR/carbine on a map. If you are saying the combo is equal to a rocket launcher, than the amount of ammo and placements on the map should be limited like the rocket launcher. Even if this happen it would still be unbalanced becuase of the follow ability of the plasma charge, and the easy kill with the BR.

The Plasma Pistol was always usefull for Campaign, but it was never quite useful in Multiplayer.

In Halo it was very difficult to actually hit someone with the charged shot, although it was a pretty formidable weapon in tight quarters.

And in Halo 2, it's too good now. You can forget about trying to kill someone was the regular shots, it's all about the chargedshot.

But there's a reason the developers made it like this. Probobly to let the plasma pistol "feel" right when you play H2. That probobly made no sense to you, and I just sneezed on my monitor...

Read about my gaming here.

we could as well take out the sniper because it's best at long range and can kill with one shot, as should they remove the rocket launcher because it can destroy ghosts, banshees, hogs, spectres with one rocket, grenades because they pretty much work the same way, take away shield and then you just have to pop his head, you can stick plasma grenades and that's an instant kill

No, just make it how it was in the first game.

they should make the regular shots more powerful and take away most of the tracking abilities for the charged shot.
then it would end up like the halo ce pp.

it should take longer to charge, 5-6 secs.
and the homing should be reduced, not removed

Edit: PS. the 'Noob combo' takes more time then the Halo 1 pistol did to kill someone
Just so you know

and so can you

If you follow one simple rule you can cut down on being killed by the nood combo: Always move in cover, reveal yourself as little as possible. and in tight quarters jump and use a Plasma Rifle/ SMG.

How about.....no?

All Bungie needs to do is reduce the homing on the PP.

Why..... You cant tell a HUGE gaming company to just take a weapon out of a game they made.... So every time someone dislikes a thing in the game they need to take it out... I dont like the sword... Take it out, the rockets are -blam!- take them out, OH and I really hate that needler.... TAKE IT OUT! Play the game and get owned by everything in it.
