Hey all,

I was just wondering if anyone else misses the Plasma Pistol from Halo:CE. In the first Halo, the PP was one of my favorite weapons......Not only did the charge take away shields, but the non charged plasma shot was deadly once mastered. If you were good enough with it you could fire faster then the Plasma Rifle and it stuned your opponent (great for use in colse combat). Halo 2 made the PP a shield remover, the secondary function of the weapon may as well have been taken out. Thoughts?......

P.S. A bit off topic but I also would like to see some of the vehicle physics from H1 brought back....nothing beats running over someone by getting out of the ghost a bit early and watching it land on their head :P

Are you saying that the H2 version was better, or that the weapon just is't your cup o tea?

I think I would like the H1 PP better. Although it didn't lock on nearly as well as H2's, it travelled much faster. I think speed over home-a-bility is better.

Thats a good point about the homing ability...I completely forgot. That would make the "noob" combo a bit less dominant.

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

Halo: CE Plasma Pistol homed more and it derailed the shields, although not completely.

Down, down to hell and say that I sent you there...

I came into the world with my legs forward and a woman cried "he was born with teeth!"

"I had no father I am like my father...I had no brother I am like my brother...And this word, "love" which old farts call divine be resident in men like you -blam!-. But not in me, I am my mother-blam!- self, alone."

You Are an Idiot

For -blam!-'s sakes people, this is Halo f'n 3! This isn't Halo: Combat Evolved and it's not Halo 2. It's Halo 3. And the sooner you ignorant morons get that, the sooner this board will stop being filled with "Make Halo 3 Halo: CE." It's a new game, not a HD version of an old game.

Also.

One Plasma Pistol shot and one Pistol shot can kill a player, just like a Battle Rifle and a Plasma Pistol.

No difference whatsoever.

CE's plasma pistol did not home more. What do you mean by derail the shields? Deplete? The overcharge drains the entire shield just like Halo 2's plasma pistol.

Halo and Halo 2's shields were different. Both Plasma Pistol's took down the shields, and one shot from either the Battle Rifle or Pistol to the head will be a kill.

And, yes, the Halo: CE Plasma Pistol homed more. I've played both games since they released and I've come to the conclusion that the Halo: CE plasma pistol homed more. As did the Needler, too, of course.

Agreed, this post is about if the Halo:CE version of the PP should be brought back...try to keep it positive. And, I only refered to it as the "noob" combo because i figured everyone here would know the combo, not because I feel it takes no skill to get right.

I want the weapons to be tweaked in Halo 3. Not a mock up of Halo2 or Ce. Just a bit diffrent(head shots count for duel weapons etc). I want the Halo 3 Plasma Pistol to be unique.

decrease the homing effect significantly and make the player who fired it be stunned for a second or two (as in, not able to switch weapons), oh, and make it unable to take down an overshield in one shot. But to make it more useful, it's regular non-charge mode of fire should be more effective

I think they should just decrease the homing ability a little bit and make the single shots able to kill.
