By my excessive use of the exclamation mark I hope I got your attention. 343, I know you’re there, I know you skim these forums, PLEASE stop this from happening.
Whatever causes it, make it stop.
MAKE THE PLASMA PISTOL FUNCTIONAL!
Especially irritating when you lose 'cause it’s a game breaker.

EDIT: MORE PROOF
You put the same link for each line…then the link to the video itself at the bottom. Dude…wot.
Watching the video, looks like you switched the exact moment it fired, and canceled the shot in the process.

It made the noise, it shot.
Either connection or lag issues
It was clearly a charged shot, no doubt about it. This is a known glitch in the game that needs to be -Yoinking!- fixed. Happened to me and others numerous times.

And we would’ve won that match too, that costed us map control that mishap with the plasma pistol. You can’t have these things happening in a game that’s focused on competitive play. Smallest things can be make or break.
TRIPLE POST!
You cancelled it with the switch. Noise or not unless its in the air it didnt shoot.

It used up the plasma energy from the shot. It made the noise. It was a legit charged shot. The game is just glitched when you switch weapons too fast. That’s the issue. It’s broken.

No, it’s not broken. Don’t switch weapons before your shot gets off.

Why does it make the sound of a charged shot going off then? Never had any issue noob comboing in any other Halo… it is broken, and my shot did go off, it just vanished into thin air.
The mistake that I tend to make is undercharging and ending up with a dinky little shot. Happens to all of us. Can’t blame everything on the game.

Because -Yoink- happens sometimes? And because sometimes sound/visual isn’t always sync’d perfectly.

Yeah I make that LEGITIMATE personal gameplay mistake myself sometimes. The issue at hand is a fault in the game, nothing more to be said about it.
Like I mentioned before, in any other Halo, no matter how fast you switched weapons after and overcharged plasma pistol shot it would always fire, this issue is exclusive to Halo 5.

Stop defending a clear fault in the quickness of switching of weapons when using the noob combo. You can charge your shot, it will use the energy, make the sound, but if you switch too fast nothing will happen. I guess I better slow down my Y pressing huh…

Considering you’re the one having this issue and not me, I’d say it’s not a “clear fault” in the game.
Just sayin’.

Ignorant and naive to say that this is a personal issue. But yeah keep going, ride that 343 bandwagon, Halo 5 is a perfect game with absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Looks like you maybe switching weapons to quickly.

But why has this never been an issue for me in any other Halo?
