Plasma pistol and other weapon changes

So I was playing multiplayer the other day when I grabbed a plasma pistol to take down an enemy vehicle. Charged that baby up and shot the vehicle, assuming it would have been EMP’d. Boy oh boy was I wrong. I immediately got run over and killed, effectively ending the massive killing spree I was on…

One question in my head: what the actual f**k 343? Why did they get rid of the emp function for the plasma pistol? Why change weapons that have been that way since Halo 2 multiplayer? I’m not trying to jump on the “let’s all hate on 343 for every little thing” bandwagon. I’m honestly not.

But they’ve removed several weapons from the game that were fan favorites since Halo 2 and 3. And now they’re changing how some weapons work. It’s just annoying is all. Why change it if it isn’t broken?

Same here, Ghost coming towards me, i charge the plasma pistol, shot and in my mind i prepare to hijack the ghost. Well i realised that the ghost just smashed me on the other side of the map.

And dont forget the hydra, a beast when you have a challenge, where you have to get assists.
