What would the most practical weapon for a halo 3 paintball game varient

Plasma pistol I would say, but that probably just 'cause I like the pistol even though it is a bit crummy. =).

BTW, just wondering, what was your opinion on this?

 

Plasma pistol, don't have to reload and no scope

 

Depends on how big your map is. Just bear in mind that Carbines register headshots and PPs don't...

 

Plasma pistol:
Pros:
Looks like "paint"
No reloading needed
Cons:
Charge shot isn't exactly paintball-ish
Can't pick up ammo

Carbine
Pros:
Fires actual bullets instead of the plasma pistol's plasma, so you can pick up ammo
Scope
Can headshot
Cons:
Fires actual bullets, so you have to reload
Scope
Can headshot

 

I think it would be fun if it was Plasma Pistols as starting weapons, and Carbines placed around the map. Also, I don't believe you can set Carbines as a starting weapon.

 

Damn, you're right. I guess your idea of Carbines around the map is good too, but then you'd be able to pick up weapons. Although being able to pick up weapons solves the ammo problem with the plasma pistol, it does allow people to dual-wield them...

 

So, i dual wielded paintball guns once lol anyways i think plasma pistols have physics similar to a paintball gun because they are less accurate like a paintball gun, the bullets shot also travel slower like a paintball gun.

 

Considering that paintball involves instant kill, and that it is designed to be a competetive game; the best weapon would therefore be the hardest to hit someone with, via slow moving bullets. Which implies that the plasma pistol is the best choice.

PS For those arguing the inability to grab ammo... Ever heard of infinite ammo?

 

I think the carbine and the plasma pistol are both kinda paint ball weapons

 

You could always use Brute shots...

 

Carbine would just own the plasma pistol, so you shouldn't use them together.

PP FTW.

Brute shots reload, but they'e good too.

Missile pods would be funny, but fail, and there aren't enough.

Rockets reload too often. And are TOO slow.

Fuel rod, same really as brute shot.

Yeah. use the Plasma Pistol.

Possibly Plasma rifle as a weapon pickup?

Maybe sentinel beams for epic fun. (joking)

 

I'd recommend you set it so that players start with magnum, but have it so carbines with not much ammo spawn near the players. This way bullet spamming is not rewarded, but players still have a halfway decent weapon.

 

plasma pistol. In real paintball, even in speedball, you can see shots coming and somewhat react to them as they are coming. you can do this with the plasma pistol. The carbine wouldn't work because it shoots too fast.

 

What they said, plus you might consider adding plasma rifles as pickups.

Good luck with your map.

 

forgot about the rifles. Those work too. and if you want some sort of grenade, I'd go with firebomb for a paint grenade. It worked well for me.

 

That's a great idea, fire nades cling and you don't have to be as accurate, just like a paint bomb.

 

Shock, I guess you have your answer:

Fire Bombs
Plasma Pistols
Carbine Pick-up
Possibly Fuel Rods

Sounds like an okay gametype depending on what map you are playing at the time. What map are you planning on forging for this gametype?

 

what about spartan lasers? they shoot 10 gallons a paint every shot

 

Wooow, you would never think of plasma rifle? painballs are blue also + its rapidfire, no reloading, its the perfect weapon
