Now that we saw in July gameplay that Banished use mostly different weapons than the Covenant,why not make use them everything new.Plasma pistols are really worthless for Grunts so please give them something new and better.
I don’t think removing the plasma pistol is a good idea. Maybe it can be customized for a more Banished look, which would be better imo. Make it red and silver. Change the projectile color to yellow or something.

I dont know about that…play a round of mythic FF and the grunts are quite formidable with the plasma pistol. give two or more coming at you and unless you have cover or one shot all three…youre roasted.

That’s probably a better idea. It is one of the staple guns that haven’t changed much, but since a new faction is using it, I think it needs to have different effects on certain types of contact targets (flesh, armor, vehicle metal). In the past it really hasn’t been a great gun to pick up except to take down shields, so higher damage against flesh, and lower against metal. A new sound and heavier firing would be nice.

I like this idea very much. It really all depends on how many different factions within the Banished we are facing too.
I saw online some new weapon called Disruptor,not sure how it fires but it looks similar to plasma pistol.Maybe that could be a good replacement for it.
What about changing the PP’s role by making it fire slower but with much heavier damage, in combination with a slow projectile speed could be very interesting.
No it needs to stay and doesn’t even really need to have a different paint job it’s one of the few weapons that has been in every game why not this one? Same thing with the magnum and needler.
I’d agree with you if the Grunt’s were our allies but I’m not so sure I want to give them better weapons to shoot me with 
So, there’s a ton of backlash over the idea that some classic guns might not be in Infinite at launch over the last few months.
And you think removing one of the most useful weapons over the course of the series, that’s also been in every Halo title to date, is a good idea?

The Plasma Pistol is in the game, even if the Disruptor is. I doubt it’d be a replacement even if the Disruptor is for sure in the game.
That said, as WhoLikesChicken said, 343 has gotten a ton of flak over removing classic weapons from their Halo games in replacement for their own ideas. Given the reception the Halo 5 Rocket Launcher got, the Storm Rifle got, the Sidekick and Infinite Shotgun have gotten, I would seriously doubt suggesting the replacement of another classic weapon would do 343 any favors. I do strongly believe with others like Cobra that a Banished-esque redesign of the Plasma Pistol that still harkens back to the original would be a nice direction if they were to alter the Plasma Pistol, and maybe a tweak to plasma damage if there had to be a change to it mechanically. But flat out replacing it would be met with the same backlash many other replacements have already received.
People are freaking out because the shotgun and the magnum were replaced by new weapons and now you think is a good idea to replace the plasma pistol as well?
I mean, I’m totally in favor of new weapon addition as long as they are distinct enough and does not replace the ones that are already in the game.
Plasma pistle might be my favorite Covenant weapon, no doubt one of my favorite Halo weapons of all time. And it is anything but worthless. It has an untouchable place in the sandbox with it’s EMP.
it’s not going anywhere.
We already lost one staple of Halo that has not changed until Halo Infinite when we lost color choice. Let’s not give more ideas like this. The Plasma Pistol has been in every Halo to date and I would hate to see it removed. It is really helpful on Legendary as well when facing a bunch of Elites or Jackals or even multiple wraiths. It is a dead useful weapon and not a good idea to have it removed. Anyway, Halo Infinite’s main design and build is done. What is in the game is there. From what I understand, all that needs done is rendering and polishing. Content and things like that are done. So it won’t be removed. Even if it was mostly agreed upon.
Removing the Plasma Pistol would be terrible but changing them up a bit would be great
I could only imagine what a pain in the -Yoink- it would be taking down elites without it on legendary. they were bullet sponges in the last few games.

True
Nah sorry It’s actually has some uses for EMP

Like giving back it stunning ability in CE.

this honesty but heres a good addition make it faster, slower or with some other added effect like they did the with the brute/ elite plasma rifle.
