Plasma Pistol Needs to be Removed From Loadou

It is ruining Big Team Battle by making vehicles useless.

Whats next the boltshot, Dmr, Assault rifle, PISTOL…

be crafty with vehicles

treat the warthog as a jeep with a mounted turret, not a snowplow

treat the mantis as a support vehicle, assisting teammates, not a walking tank

etc.

We should take guns out of loadouts too

Vehicles are fine if you use them right, stop crying. They did this so someone could not just run the map with a tank and win

There is no I in Team.

That said, this team based bs should not be in the campaign where allies are generally useless and enemies are OP to the max in vehicles.

I shouldn’t have to stay far back camping with the Mantis to survive the Composer fight and purge the Infinity of hostiles.

So vehicles can dominate and ruin the balance of the game? How about we remove vehicles? They’re making being on foot in BTB useless.

Agree, we already have the vehicle-destroying-minisniper-DMR. It’s pretty much suicide to enter a vehicle that’s not the Gauß-Hog against somewhat skilled players.

I wasn’t crying but thats the usual response anyone gets when they post feedback on a game. When every enemy has a plasma pistol and stickies it is pretty hard to not get hit. They need to be put pack as map pick ups just like they were in all the previous games. I consider them a power weapon so there should be a limited number of them. They can even increase the tracking a bit to make it more powerful because its less than in other games (probably because it was made a loadout gun) but I don’t really care either way.

If you are playing against a decent team, the tank will be stunned within 30 seconds of it leaving the spawn.

I can’t speak for others but I personally don’t enjoy taking pop shots at enemies across the map with the DMR (which is what BTB is turning into). Vehicles are what make BTB so great.

Vehicles are so Op in this game, the plasma loudout balances them.

So…remove a weapon for doing what it was made to do? …how about no.

The rest of your team should be running security and keeping the other team from PPing on you, and when a team mate is in a vehicle (especially the tank) then you should either be in the turret, or running along side of it doing the same thing.

If this happened to your team in Halo 3/Reach your team just sucked and you should’ve learned to pick up a plasma pistol or other anti vehicle weapon. There was usually at least one plasma pistol inside your base that nobody ever used, even when getting wrecked by vehicles from what I noticed.

People were just too lazy to pick it up or were too stupid to know it’s the ultimate vehicle killer.

It was balanced due to the fact there were a limited number of them so if you got the guy with the plasma pistol because he couldn’t use it right, you could actually live more than half a minute. Now everyone and their mother spawns with them so you can all just keep rushing head on with a ton of PP’s and destroy all vehicles on the map within seconds.

Actually, plasms pistols are fine. It’s the vehicles that could use a buff, specifically to primary rifle fire.

People rarely have the Plasma Pistol in one of their loadouts as of now. It’s crazy how long a scorpion or a wraith can survive when there is only one guy in the opposing team who is trying to kill it without a spartan laser (pretty much me most of the time). Hell, I barely see it being used outside of Dominion and BTB.

First we have a thread about a Guass Hog in Exile, then we have a thread to remove the plasma pistol from loadouts…

It doesn’t make any sense anymore…

Mate, I primarily use the Wraith in Dominion - now if you know anything about Dominion, then you know it’s filled with frequent ordnance drops of things like Lasers, Rockets, and Snipers, and of course, the availability of Plasma Pistols on spawn. According to what you’re thinking, I’d be dead with 30 seconds.

Except I’m not, even when I’m being aggressive. I go on Killing Frenzies frequently, despite the prominence of Plasma Pistols, stickies, various anti-vehicular power weapons, and despite that the Wraith isn’t all that maneuverable compared to other vehicles.

Its a conspiracy I tell you, lizard peoples who want to take away our guns and heavy vehicles so then we have to fight with sticks and mongooses!

That’s Halo4 in a nut shell. To be effective you have to use some slow abd usually boring tactics.

On topic~ You could solve most of the complaints with this game by just removing load outs all together.

DMR
Bolt Shot
plasma pistol
plasma grenades
AC
JP
PV

All have been complained about regularly. Played customs the other day and I love this game. Just not the way 343i has it set up. CoD style.
