>used by THE flagship shit tier enemy spam enemies>available 24/7>*pew* *pew* *pew* *unsatisfying pew pew sounds*>the best weapon in the game>the best weapon in the game, in literally every single gameThis is horrible game design, all you can do is meme about it or go ermm well you don't have to use it but nothing gets around the fact that halo has complete and utter dogshit weapon design where somehow the grunt weapon beats out actual battle rifles and real weapons every single game. There is nothing satisfying about dumping 60 rounds into a grunt just to drop your unsc flagship weapon and pick up the pew pew grunt weapon because it has 10x the utility
Halo games are not good
God zoomers don't know how to write for shit. We need literacy tests for internet usage
It's really noticeable that Halo did not win the test of time when zoomers play it and just get bored out of it
I've played Halo since its inception and I don't think I've ever heard this complaint before. It's just a funny weapon also what do you mean dumping 60 rounds into a grunt bro just shoot them in the head
>>737726317>21:00:00Bot post.
>>737726317wtf nigga not the best gun in any game, by a mile
>>737726317gay faggot take, be a man and beat halo legendary without relying on noob combos
>>737726317Grunts never figured out how to hold the trigger, so they use the weak primary fire.
>>737726604>most abundant weapon in any level, near infinite ammo>kills every enemy type easily by spam firing
>>737726604Halo Reach it is S tier
>>737726604It's easily the best gun in CE. Perfect accuracy, no health damage penalty, uncapped fire rate, great ammo efficiency, and you're never without one for long.
>>737726317>charged shot>meleeHow do you respond without sounding mad?
I mean I agree that the Plasma Pistol is constantly teetering between being overpowered due to the overcharge and useless due to it's normal firing mode being underpowered (except in Reach and CE), but there's much bigger weapon balance issues in most Halo gamesLike the BR/DMR/whatever the token precision weapon is dominating the sandbox.
>only viable option>"NOOB COMBO!"halotards really will say this with a straight face for 25+ years
Plasma pistol is not the best against grunts, brutes, hunters, drones or jackals. If you wanted to point at anything being the best across bungies 4 games it would be the pistol and/or sniper. Halo 2 on there is no question the all around best weapon is BR/DMR.I will grant that it is part of half the combo that will get you through legendary as pain free as possible but the other part of that combo(pistol, BR, carbine) is what actually gets the kills.
Needler literally locks on for you.
>>737726978It was called the noob combo in Halo 2 multiplayer, because the charge shot was so easy to land hits with.
>>737726796Shotgun.
>>737726963>Like the BR/DMR/whatever the token precision weapon is dominating the sandbox.As long as headshots instakill, that will always be the case. There is nothing you can do about it. And removing that now would be like removing recharging shields.
>>737726604The pistol is straight up better than the plasma rifle in 1 outside of MP where the rifle can stun. More damage per shot and faster fire rate.
>>737726604If you look at the sandbox as a whole it easily clears. Even with it's weak points(just hunters and vehicles really) you do have another slot of a gun that can take care of those and grenades. The plasma pistol basically solves most encounters and lets you specialize in something else if need be. Obviously not the best most op gun but it allows you to be unstoppable pretty much.
>>737726317>>the best weapon in the game, in literally every single gameNo it is not, in any of the OG trilogy. At best it was a viable backup weapon in CE, a shield draining combo in 2, and a vehicle stunner in 3. Even in CE when it was most potent the limited battery, projectile speed and overheating prevented it from being superior to guns like the Magnum or Shotgun.Tl;dr OP is wrong and gay
>>737729645>limited batteryIt had 400 shots on a full battery. That's way more than enough to last you until you find a replacement in any situation.
>>737726424Or we could just build digital walls around certain countries so their retardation doesn't spread.
>>737726424>>737730081Nothing in that post is hard to read or grasp, you're just upset because a zoomchad is attacking gaylo and you have no real argument
>>737730292No, the zoomer is a retard and doesn't understand that just because a weapon can be acquired early doesn't mean it also has to be shit for the rest of the game. Doubly so when Halo had a clear delineation between the alien and human weapons and what their strengths and weaknesses for. No, he just reads like he's either an ESL or some retard who only speaks in Ebonics.
>>737730354I genuinely want you to quote where ebonics are used in that post. You and the majority of this website are literally old men yelling at clouds at this point any time someone makes fun of a game pre 2010
>>737730486He's yelling at OP being a retard, not clouds.
>>737726765the mini sniper rifle (M-9 pistol) is the best in CE. it never leaves my side if i have a choice.
>>737730550Show me where ebonics are used
>>737730696>M-9Secondary pls go and stay go
>>737730696>M-9 pistolmy bad, M6D
>>737730696Best in multiplayer, but not the best in singleplayer. Ammo isn't always available, and it's not so good against shields.
>>737729645On legendary its basically always running plasma pistol + the human accuracy weapon (pistol, BR, dmr) until you get a power weapon for a brief moment and go right back to the combo
>>737730882>Best in multiplayerit's great in campaign/co-op too when available>it's not so good against shields.that's why you carry something like a plasma pistol as a secondary if they are going to be an issue. hell, in campaign, needlers are terrific against elites, even on legendary.
>>737731086The plasma pistol can already solo elites on its own.
>>737731207not very effectively when it takes time for the plasma pistol to cool off after using a charged shot to shred their shields. that's when you switch over to ol' reliable.
>>737731393>it takes time for the plasma pistol to cool off after using a charged shot to shred their shieldsJust shoot the elite. It fires as fast as you can pull the trigger and a couple regular shots take down the shield, then every shot after staggers him until he dies. The CE charge shot is only really needed for gold elites with plasma rifles, the sword guys charge you straight on so you can just shoot them in the face while backpedaling.
>>737731393Why are you charging it?
>>737726604I always had one in CE, 2, and Reach. It's mid in the other games.
>>737726317absolutely nobody use it in multiplayer so this isn't true
>>737731985It only spawns on 1 map.
>>737726317It's just good against Elites because it strips shields though as Elites are the toughest enemies you are usually likely to face that makes it good for a common weapon but it's not as good at killing them as the Needler (which is slightly less common). The really OP gun is the sniper rifle as that can kill literally anything except heavy vehicles in 2 shots or 1 if a headshot and do it at extreme range with perfect accuracy.
>>737731985>nobody in multiplayer uses the 2 shot kill combo is this retard that wasn't alive for actual halo 2 multiplayer fucking serious? shut your dumb nigger mouth and don't talk about events your zoom zoom frfr on god retard nigger gyatt zoomer ass wasn't alive for.
>>737726317>*pew* *pew* *pew* *unsatisfying pew pew sounds*What does this mean
>>737726604only in the first 2 games (halo 1 because functionally infinite ammo, halo 2 because noob combo)>>737726717unless you're playing halo 4 in which case fuck you, have only 50 ammo at most per pistol. and you can entirely forget consistently finding them in the second half.
>>737727129You can fix it by giving the autos locational damage modifiers, or just by giving them much higher damage in general at the cost of less aim assist/bullet magnetism and tuning their spread curves so short bursts stay precise but holding the trigger down makes their firing cone get super big, and making it so the larger their firing cone at the moment, the less locational damage bonuses they get. EX: Burst fire the AR and land headshots, and you'll kill super fast, but if you spray and pray even if you land headshots you'll get no bonus damage
shotgun > sword > hammer
>>737733886Hammer>shotgun>swordHow about that frogboy
spartan women...
>>737732762hey cuh so... you just had to be there lil bro
>>737733998Hammer draws slower and has shorter range
