    Can’t believe it took over 2 years for the plasma pistol to gain the ability to emp vehicles again, that’s been a thing in every halo game since 3

      Yeah, I understand that they didn’t want to take away one of the only extra abilities of the electric weapons in Infinite, but it is such a core Halo thing that people are still surprised when they try it and it doesn’t work

        Shock weapons should’ve done some kind of overcharge thing, like forcing a warthog to go at max speed for a few seconds. Keep the plasma pistol as it is and given them a new ability. Hopefully if Halo 7 has shock weapons they’ll have a more unique ability like that but we’re a good while away from that

          Basically making the breaks not work and go a little faster could be hilarious

            The best part would be if you could do it to teammates too so it can be used against you or for your benefit like running the flag back to base.

            Or you know, to troll your friends
