Halo 3 Weapons Versus: Plasma Rifle, Ep 2 (machinima)

[SeanKZ10]

Dual wield Plasma Rifle and SMG, fire both of them till the dummies dead, that may be the quickest non-explosive-or-laser kill that there is.

[farticas101]

some guns in he game are simply better than others, like in the beginning the AR beat the Plasma rifle by about a second, and obviously a BR would kick a magnums ass so some weapons are those that you should use in different kinds of situations, and some are just for last resort if you don' have any good guns.

[MrAsianStudios]

did they have to make to fire rate so slow on the magnum? they should've kept the halo 2 fire rate, it was the fastest

[DrsJacksonn]

They shouldn't have nerfed the plasma pistol so much! Also in Halo 2! I admit, it was overpowered in Halo CE, but that was because there was no proper matchmaking.

And the magnum? Dem shoulda kept it as it was in Halo CE, but slow done its fire rate upon dual wielding.

[randomdude7272]

dual wield a spiker and a plasma rifle, it's a good close range combination

[masterchaoss]

they need to do this when reach comes out

[toadking07]

@masterchaoss We are working on it ;) Almost done and ready to upload.

[jeppewie1206]

imagine if sentinel beam was 1 handed, and dualwield able... shit.

[Cakekid2500]

I WILL PICK UP THE LITTLE GREEN THING TO BEAT EVERYONE INSTEAD OF THE BLUE PLASMA ASSAULT RIFLE!

[nativegerry335]

make a weapons versus: sentinal beam

[GTubeStudios]

Energy Sword and Fuel Rod Gun FTW.

[RednekGamurz]

what about the mauler its not a one-shot kill weapon?

[Rurike]

@RednekGamurz yeah but its useless at this range so its not a good comparison

[llkool2014]

who thinks the magnum is underrated? i use it all the time in matchmaking i think its beast. :D especially dual wielded. if u agree thumbs up.... :)

[DutchFishingColony]

@llkool2014 i totally agree.

[swat00555]

wtf is going on? i picked up a plasma rifle in halo 2 from some elite and it keeps shooting these huge green blasts instead of blue lazer shit. W T F?

[toadking07]

@swat00555 ... are you serious? I think you're picking up the Pasma PISTOL instead of the Plasma Rifle.

[swat00555]

@toadking07 um.... dude i was pretending to be an idiot, i was talking about the scarab gun and i didnt really get it from an elite, god dude dont say stupid shit to a joke

[toadking07]

@swat00555 it's a good thing sarcasm crosses the internet so well... Seriously, I've seen people ask questions like that and mean it.

[sporepid]

the carbine looks like hes using a modded controller

[southrodney]

@sporepid if u cannot shoot that fast without a modded controller, i am afraid sir that u are in fact handicapped

[sporepid]

@southrodneyi said this before i started playing halo 3

[DaytonaEggnog]

sentinal beam rapes all

[Kristofferr1]

plasma pistol sucks.

[goodman7665]

@Kristofferr1 plasma pistol does suck if its not dual wielded without anything else but its really good if its duel wielded with a smg because you fully charge the plasma pistol then shoot it to kill their shields then use the smg to finish him

[PeinItachi]

it doesn't rly suck it just doesn't do the job killing. It disables armor

[B04Eagleeye]

@PeinItachi

plasma pistol one o my favs wen combined with a br as primary eapon, one overcharged shot and one headshot - drops em in a second

[sporepid]

@Kristofferr1 full charge and a melee are very powerfull

[rockybal90]

pLAsMA pIStoL SucKs

[itzGodofpro]

Yea the plasme rifle got owned

[CrossForge]

ok the sparten laser is OHK, so y is it on here

[zestyguy6]

it has to charge up

[HeartlessGorre]

the charging time.

[Thornsinsoul]

Because its not and Instant kill, it takes time to charge.

So the other dummy could have died while it was charging.

[J0K3RZTheater]

holy shit brute shot owned him lol

[J0K3RZTheater]

lol best combos for plasma rifle

Smg+plasma rifle

Spiker+plasma rifle

[biofinget]

hmm. looks like anything USMC made pwns the covenents.

[Darkhunter8000]

That's cool i like the BR55 Battle rifle.

[daman1233]

its fuel rod gun, not cannon. the cannon is in the banshee

[NadehappyxD]

its called a fuel rod cannon in halo 2, but I dont know 'bout halo 3 though

[daman1233]

actually, they confirmed that was a mistake, it was meant to be called fuel rod gun

[NadehappyxD]

o rly?

[daman1233]

yes, really

[NadehappyxD]

o rly?

[daman1233]

yes, really

[NadehappyxD]

ok I beleive you lol, imma send you a friendy ;D

[daman1233]

yay! XD

[NadehappyxD]

lmfao...xD

[daman1233]

Lmao XD

[huuballawick]

It IS called Fuel Rod ( Gun i think ) BUt it's not Fuel Rod Cannon anymore.

[chickenmonster2]

lol every gun gets pwnd by the fuel rod

[jameschoi999]

i mean honestly the rifle should be duel wielded. i mean almost every map it provides 2 P-rifles so basically its meant for duel wield

[neilmcdonald72]

umm no

[mikeyzurc]

yal forgot th sniper th rocket luancher th sword th gravity hammer th gernades th equimptent loljk

[nick50107]

they said no one hit kill weapons

[Phoenix6424]

Yeah, I like the plasma rifle- spiker/SMG combo too. And dual-wielded plasma rifles are pretty much walking death, which is why only noobs and desperate people use them, since plasma rifles, even dual-wielded, have little to no overall recoil and the kill time is cut in thirds because it takes like a second to completely drain their shields and like two after that to kill them.

[neilmcdonald72]

i dont think ive ever seen people dual wielding plasma rifles -.-

[da0owner]

duel wielding plasma rifles is one of the most powerful close-range weapons in the game. itll kill an enemy in about 1.5 seconds

[MrMegasniper]

you forgot rockets :)

[valkin07]

insta kill

[JonhyHedgehog]

Tecnically, the rocket is a 1-hit kill weapon, so, it can't be used in this video.

[LOTNplace]

we all know who wins there

[59garry]

spiker pwned that plasma rifle

[LlamarockerX]

Ep.3 pl0x

[jamenealm]

weapons are all somewat good, just depends wat kinda map and situation you r in, and ur skill at halo

[soliderboy8785]

true that

[dromefrog8]

now all they need to do is give us the seconds and milliseconds for fire to kill.

[resiking13]

is it me or does plasma only realy damage the sheilds, but hardly hurts the actual person

[glitcherman64]

I like to carry a plasma and smg or spiker. The plasma tears the shields away and the SMG finishes theme off

[jameschoi999]

plasma-smg-spiker isnt a headshot wpn. i suggest a magnum.

[YahJihngify]

Yup, that's right. Plasma is > for shields, but bullets are > for health.

[da0owner]

You're so smart, cuz in halo, shields = health dipshit.

[YahJihngify]

No, health is what takes damage when shields are completely drained, shit for brains.

[DarkMidget15]

@da0owner

hey buddy... erm... play ODST much? shields are shields, then you have a set amount of health that can only take so much damage. in example, a body can only take three (FULL) Battle rifle shots before you will die, or one shot to the head. Also, its also called FOUR shotting someone, because the LAST bullet goes right in the dome.

Hopefully i helped you with your ignorance.

-XBLGT, EvilFerret55

[vukasinthevule]

stamina

[SquadReach]

@resiking13 Well you are correct, plasma (eg Spartan Laser, Plasma Pistol, etc.) have and extremly large impact on Shields however Rounds can pierce a spartans gel layer and having a larger impact on flesh. Plasma can burn flesh and kill in a short amount of time. Rounds do damage shields very uneffectivley but is VERY effective without shields.

[KidfromBangor]

@resiking13

That's true. Plasma weaponry take down "Shields", while ballistic weaponry take out "Health".

[Rurike]

@resiking13 plasma weapons take out sheilds fast, bullet weapons take out unshielded players fast

[phaphachboy]

@resiking13 it provides a strategy where you switch between the two weapons

[Wheatspin]

@resiking13 thats how it was designed. a year later of course im sure you know this though

[cam7z7]

@resiking13 That sort of the point since Spartans have alot of shielding some of the forces will take that down so the others can use stronger weapons.

[spooneddy]

hehe any halo 2 vets remember plasma smg xD

only things that beat that are power weps and quadshots :P

[xxxxSnowman]

heres a random comment i just randomly worked out if u press space u can pause and play

[killer1393]

the plasm rifle is really only good for takin down shields so paired up with a magnum or a smg its a very deadly combo

[Mastermarc2006]

the magnum should have been shot faster,but nice video,and it's usefull too

[matde100]

battle rifle best all round weapon

can be used close range, mid range, and long range EFFECTIVELY

[liamisbadathalo]

The Covenant Carbine is better.

[gnivri93]

PR is awesome with a beatdown at the end way better then an AR

[n0085t3r]

the plasma pistol is only good for taking down shields and stalls any vehicle and its really useful, if u know how to use it

[hadesrulz1]

i agree recently on bungie favorites there was a map bust stop kids (game was baddies sneak up) where the zombie had to splater living people and the was a plasma pistol and my friend was like whats that for?

[benylol]

oh yea

i got that

i think its a really good game

i tried it with my mates and they wanted to carry onplaying lol

[AlfredoHalo666]

sentail beam beats all

[f0ngtasticXD]

Plasma Rifle and the Magnum. Works almost everytime.

[ilold5412]

4 shot BR, the no scope headshotz with snipe

[thrame1807]

any weapon can be beat by the AR if your good enought you can beat anything

[hockeyfan3394]

Even sniper? Shotgun? Sword? BR? I think not.

[thrame1807]

well i have beten all of those weapons and they all had oversheilds

[SilenTScreaMxLC]

Why is it all about the plasma rifle?

[Booyah129786]

because its all halo 3 weapons vs plasma rifle

its to see which is more powerfull or faster to kill

[HalfJawArbiter166]

Did you see the damn title?

[Shenako]

Plasma Rifle > AR for shooting/beat down combo.

Literally takes 3 bullets + beat down to kill them. So it's not all bad. Usually it's in combo with a pistol or smg to maximize the damage. Also These videos are slightly retarded :S. Instead of doing all the weapons again and again. Just test them like 3 times get the average of the times, and put it into a grid.... Much easier than making seperate videos of.. well the same thing.

[ClUbPenGuIn0wNz]

hey now that i think of it he is doing the same thing =P

[hazzwright]

plasma thingy sucks ass

[SuicidalCowProdction]

the carbine and plasma pistol depend how fast you can pull the trigger

[TsunamiNoir]

Sentinal Beam pwns.

[notedkillerrage]

you now what would be cool but hard to do is if they did like the br(head/body) vs. sniper(you know who wins) then br(body) vs. sniper (body) with br (head) then br(head) vs. sniper(body) br(body) then br (head/body) vs. br (body, body, head) then br vs. br (head, head, body)

[Makatacaly]

Now I know to keep a plasma rifle on me at all times. Still don't got game though. By the way, is Halo 3 better for PC or Xbox360

[george8190]

only halo 1 and 2 are for pc, but halo 3 is a great game for xbox, but the weapons u want to keep on you is the br and the sniper ;)

[Makatacaly]

k thanks dude! I hope we play halo 3 together sometime.

[Bushkav]

just a tip with needler

if your running at someone and it looks like it will be a simultaneous beat down don't hit. - just keep firing because u'll get every needle on target and u will kill the enemy. sometimes u will die as well but u will also kill the enemy. Also don't be fooled by the curve. try and get it to fire in the direction the enemy is moving and use ur secondary on someone with no or low shields

[KingZoidy]

I BR in Team Swat most of the time

[tootsie400]

shut up.

[KingZoidy]

:O someone is having there period lol

[tootsie400]

ok, now there's no excuse.

shut up.

[KingZoidy]

1st amendment right, Freedom of Speech

[tootsie400]

Can you please tell me you're not serious about your first comment so I can stop replying?

[masterh2o]

BR FTW!

[Panu53]

lmao at spartan laser vs plasma rifle

[FanticyFlow]

you would think that they would test dual weilding vs non dual weilding -.-...like mebe dual weidling plasma pistol and magnum vs plasma rifle :P (and all who play halo kno that its way faster then just plasma rifle)

[Xbox360Trailerss]

Plasma Weapons RAPE shields, Human weapons RAPE NO SHIELDS

[Takuthecheese]

Plasma weapon + Smg or Magnum = Infinite win.

[jacklavo]

If some people dont know wtf the other people are saying then you probably wont understand me either

Alien Weapons take down sheilds

Human weapons rhape the body itself with no sheilds

Plasma pistol and SMG combo at all times :D

[ReApErMaN2121]

AR < BR

BR <3

[fredmomma]

zomh at 1:50 he 4 shot that noob he pro!

[billybobjoethetenth]

the sentinal beam is jsut plain badass lol

[PurplePoyo]

plasma usually takes shields down faster than most weaker weapons but do less damage than bullets to on the person itself with no shields

which means stuff > other stuff

[HaloCEdude56]

assault rifle,plasma rifle,again plasma rifle,smg,brute spiker,plasma rifle,again plasma rifle,carbine and plasma rifle,carbine (which head shoot),plasma rifle.magnum (head shoot),brute shoot,fuel rod, plasma rifle,sentinel beam,needler,machine gun,plasma canyon.

[kingblade171]

this is how the weapons work...

the alien weapons are more affective against shields

the human weapons are more finisher that take down the enemy

try to have an alien and human at all times

[lookeoj]

"the human weapons are more finisher that take down the enemy"

You sounded smart until that point right there. But your right, i do see your point

[nintenbostar]

best combo is

1st weapon brute spiker

2nd weapon plasma rifle of neddler

[SpraxIAKS]

The shield is weak to the plasma rifle and the AR is completely useless because Bungie sucks. Now if it was the AR from Halo, with it's nice damage and sixty round clip. Then that would be different.

[lyndsayiu5]

AR isn't useless. In a close range battle, as long as you're not a retard. You'll kill most opponents including someone with a BR.

[bigdaddy7998]

some of those you didn't even need to test lol.

[Birchspad]

aye, like the Pistol and Fuel Rod.

[ironmatts]

1:39 grapped his balls green guy

[jamie007pwnz]

is this considered close or medium ranged?

[Yitiek]

theres a guide on halopedia or somthing it shows the ranges based on the pit.

check it out.

[dylanandandy]

I love the Plasma Rifles but only close range because all you do is drain there shields then beat them down. I think the AR is faster shooting them and doesn't need to beat them down.

[LBNQIU]

that dosnt even make any sense, they omitted one shot guns and they had the spartan laser in their but not the sniper? (body shots) yes thats obvious but stil wth

[toadking07]

.... One Shot INSTANT KILLS! Spartan Laser has to charge up! Sniper is just point and kill! It would be like, READY, SET, BAM sniper killed them, other gun just started shooting. I can't get why so many people don't get this.

[LBNQIU]

"Spartan Laser has to charge up!" Does it kill you one shot, yes or no?

[toadking07]

Yes, it kills you in one shot. Riddle me this though: Does it kill instantly when you pull the trigger?

We added it to show that you can kill someone before they have time to charge up and fire back.

[11260a]

yes but an avid halo 3 player always has their laser at least partaially charged right??

[bigdaddy7998]

no ...

[kinishurfish]

It says INSTANT one hit kills. You dont fire it and boom. It has 2 charge up.

[bigdaddy7998]

learn to spell >.>

[kinishurfish]

dude wtf? r u talking 2 me??

[bigdaddy7998]

yeah ...

[donmess77]

i always drop my AR for a plasma rifle because i only use my AR really close range, and at closer range plasma rifle owns

[lightfire060]

not reely.....

it also kinda depends on da range.....

magnums suk at closerange... so plasma rifl would kick ass....

[iforrest]

plasma rifles bring shields down faster, but from then on it does minimal damage.

[ShannonRoys]

needlers best gun in the game besides RPG, Fuel Rod Cannon, and Turrets

[1Stephen1Abbott1]

lol at u noob. battle rifle is best by far

[TheWeirdShowShow]

Actually, dual needlers were banned in Halo 3 b/c they were too powerful. But when people would use the dual needlers in Halo 2, they would be called n00bs using the n00b combo. >_>

[yanksrule42]

Also, i 4got 2 say: there will NEVER EVER be a halo movie and if ther was it wud suck balls, and wtf r u talkin about halo books?

[TrinityofTriforce]

There are books, look em up

And no, the Halo movie wouldn't suck balls, nothing sucks balls int he hands of peter Jackson

[ShannonRoys]

there is a halo movie jack-off

[coolkid7006]

Is the Plasma Rifle shooting at the head or the body.

[stevenskul]

it doesnt matter its not a headshot weapon

[Nightmare777007]

Its a pretty neat idea and all but weapons like the battle rifle and carbine aren't automatic and depending on how fast you shoot depends on you alone. This means the results were not accurate and can never be completely accurate for those weapons.

[DMGStudios]

the battle rifle has the same time in between all shots.

[StickPivotTube]

Hehe. Well, when I play, I always depend on my aim and not the power of the weapon. That's just how I play.

[Poiuyp42]

you sell a global positioning satellite!! do you launch it aswell?

[DeadlyConcreteKhaos]

this is actually helpfull.

it shows you what combination to use with the plasma rifle.

Props.

[Chuxliciousness]

3:13 who died first??

[kroa1]

spartan lazer...it spawned first to lol.

[davidson175]

I think the plasma rifle guy died just before the spartan laser guy

[BuzanTheFear1ess]

HALO 3, HUMANITY'S 3RD LAST STAND, oh boy zip the power armor up and load your blocks with a black texture that the "pioneers" @ the blatantly misspelled Bungie call guns.

[BuzanTheFear1ess]

Previous releases to the Halo series anyone, hmm me neither. I'm guessing "Bungie" -- at the time bungee -- decided they were so bad at making games no one cared sofuck spelling (around the same time Halo was in production).

Halo was released whilst the spelling error of "Bungie" was on the cover and they diecided that it was "ON PURPOSE" and "INTENDED" when questioned.

[dwoclan]

So if the company was so bad why is it their game was so revolutionary?

[BuzanTheFear1ess]

"In this game "Bungie" added some sort of subliminal message in the opening music, and loading menu giving the impression this fallacy was worth playing."

Revolutionary? concerning what, how many lives has this touched for people to better, has it cured aids or anything notable, no. It has brought a false since of joy to a bunch of neck bearded virgins.

[machinimater]

more virgins less aids so in your own words its saving lives

[BuzanTheFear1ess]

In simplistic form this statement is true. Hypothetically if the world played halo (more virgins then a D&D gathering) the world wouldn't be aids free per say; blood transfusion that have been carelessly performed with a sample of the aids virus.

[machinimater]

yes but more people would be antisocial and less people coming in contact with each other would mean less interaction with deadly viruses but then you can say obesity is a problem but that has nothing to do with the game thats up to the people playing it

[BuzanTheFear1ess]

Valid point... B+

With all of the sociopaths basically running the helm, depression wouldL soon spread across the world and Ohio is for Lovers would the Earth's anthem. In this case I can't picture the world lasting very long, scratch that, HUMANITY -- they'd all just starve to death because there weight has stopped them from getting up and hunting, and prior to getting fat they were all virgin(ing) it up on halo to produce anything other then high K/D's--.

[machinimater]

no we are both wrong its not the game its the people that choose to do every thing its like a gun even though its the murder weapon its the person who pulled the trigger that killed them so its the people who play video games that make bad choices that kill them

[BuzanTheFear1ess]

Precisely.

[HaloCrazee]

fuck you... who cares if it is revolutionary or not... just play the fucking game
