Ok for those who have played the Halo 3 beta or owned it I have a question about the plasma pistol for HCE. Can you make it so when you shoot the hog(or any vehicle) it stops the car like it was hitting the brakes like in Halo 3?

umm you can put a region on the hog and then put its material to the engineer shield. then mod the plasma pistols charged shot damage effect tag to do 9999 damage to the engineer shield. In the collision model put object dies when region dies, that should top the vehicle... Off the top of my head

Yea i heard h3 PP did that which reallly ballances it out to be an effective weapon. Would be good in heavy vehicle maps. I always liked the PP, especially if you make it home a little better.

Well I personally think it homes too much and make it like H3B where it barley homes. I like the fact that it stalls the vehicle your in if you are shot with a charged plasma pistol.

i am not talking of making the PP home like a needler but just like the CMT PP. The CMT PP homes just right, you can actually kill someone just using it in a fire fight against a pistol user.

The H3 pistol:....

- Barely homes in
- Stops vehicles dead in their tracks if the vehicle is hit by a charged shot
- Loses energy while charged for more than the charging period
- is similar to the H1 and H2 plasma pistol in every respect besides the afore mentioned characteristics

It can be done, but I don't think it can be depleted as you hold it when it's fully charged. But... set it so that if you charge it too long, it'll blow up in your face and possibly kill you. That'll end anyone's dream of a n00b combo.
