Let me share my idea, pertaining to the poll. Listen carefully, don't respond in an idiotic manner. Think before posting.
Alright, we all know the plasma pistol is a weak weapon when not charged. That's ok. It's not really meant to be a devastating gun. I completely agree with use of the PlasmaPistol/BattleRifle combo. If it's in the game, then there is nothing wrong with using it. Everything is counterable in some way, shape, or form. Even if it requires dying 5 times to get rid of the guy carrying it. This post is not saying there is anything wrong with the use of the plasma pistol. It is about my idea to change it in Halo 3.
Here, is my idea:
I believe the Plasma Pistol should be much like in Halo 1, where to home in, the reticle had to turn red first. Of course, the problem with the one in Halo 1 is that the reticle turned red only at a very close distance. Here is my proposal of the Halo 3 plasma pistol, please give your thoughtful input:
- The Plasma Pistol charge should only home in when the reticle is red.
- The reticle should turn red only when directly on a player, as most reticles.
- The distance the reticle turns red at should be about 10x was it is now, or somewhere close to the distance of where the battle rifle's reticle turns red.
Not only would this prevent so much "Point-and-shoot, you'll hit it either way" behavior, it would also make sense to have to "Acquire a target" first.
And there is my idea. Again, please think before posting.
