Howbout they make it like the Halo Plasma Pistol? You could actually get kills with a charged shot..and non charged shots..


Up the damage? Sounds reasonable..

Yep..then up the speed, and make the homing equivalent to the way it was in Halo..

That would still promote the combo though..combo shouldn't be so prevalent. I'd have respect for someone who combo-ed if they needed to lead their shots..

Leading shots isn't what the Plasma pistol is about. That would defeat the purpose of having the plasma pistol. It's unique for it's homing capability.

No, keep homing..just make it have way less like there was in Halo..it would almost always hit up close cause it was quick and homed, but if you were mid-range it could EASILY be dodged if you sidestepped..

Sorry, I misread and edited the first part. I believe it should only home when red, and the only way to get away from it is to get behind some cover.

That would still be pretty cheap though, since the BR had some range to it..it would still be an auto-kill, lol.

Like I've said earlier, I doubt the BR will return. Of course, that's just my opinion.

Well, BR range..there will (most likely) be a mid-range weapon taking the place of the BR/Pistol/Carbine if any are removed..

Are you f-ing Psycho? One shot charge... Mine as well change name from "Noob Combo" to "Newb"

Don't bypass the B-net -blam- filter please...

And I disagree, there are changes that have been mentioned earlier that could prevent the "Noob Combo" from returning.

Haha Randy, go back and Play the original Halo. Then come back on here and see what I meant.

Too lazy to do that, or you don't have Halo?

A charged shot could remove health after the shield was gone, meaning a charged shot could kill. In Halo 2, charged shots do no damage.

F-ing? Who really says that? It's about as immature as using the actual word, especially at a person. He has a right to an opinion. I believe you also misread his post, Randy.

Well in the Halo 1 PP was okay...I mean yea if you had no shield you could shoot someone real fast and kill them..which makes some sense...but okay.

Reach is hot garbage.

Seeing as Halo no longer is an immediate killfest since the HCE Pistol is gone, the Plasma Pistol is a welcomed melee weapon. But I refuse to accept the radically improved homing ability to return in Halo 3. Its needs to be toned down. You can turn a corner, plasma charge another player in the face and kill him with one melee. That's practically enough. If anything, the single shots should be more powerful and faster. That way there would be a reason to pick up the gun besides the charge shot.

its like a large force of win going through fusion, thus creating a chain reaction of a huge asplosion of win destroying any fail within its awesomeness.

They should limit an overcharge to, for example, most combo users always keep the Plasma charged, but if it stays charged for to long, it will overheat.

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

Thank you. That's what I've been saying! [but I've never posted it. Or wait, I think I have, but not as a topic. Damn! :) ]

The plasma pistol should hone less kind of like in Halo 1

i believe that the plasma pistol bolt should be able to be shot down and depending on the gun you have determines how many shots it takes

and i would rather have bungie just bring back the plasma pistol from Halo CE than an entirely new one

Good idea that would be cool to shoot down a charge shot with something.

i agree except the range of the gun shouldn't be long; i think the plasma pistol is suppose to be the covenant version of the shotgun (charge and bash at close range).

Personally, I've always thought that the homing on the plasma pistol and the needler should be changed, and I think it would make both weapons perfect.

The honeing of the plasma pistol needs to be lestend.
