Plasma weaponry
Posted By: matt41000 <johnprankin@msn.com>Date: 7/16/03 3:42 a.m.

In Response To: Halo PC Strategy Guide "Weapon Gamer Tips" -> (Doug Radcliffe)

On a general note, there are a few things common about plamsa weapons. All types of these weapons have a slowing effect on their target. This can be useful everywhere. If the enemy is in a vehicle or you both are, shooting them means you might be able to circle them without them being able to turn fast enough to shoot you. It also works on foot. If you fire fast enough the other person will never be able to shoot back.
Also, you want to be aware of the charge level of plasma pistols and rifles. When their battery levels get down around 15 or so, they will fire erratically and basically become useless. Try to always switch to a weapon with a higher charge unless you know you will be able to finish off your current one then go back for the other.
Lastly, always look out for the weapons of elites that have been blown from a vehicle. It is very possible they dropped a weapon with a 100% charge. Score.

More hopefully to come.
