- The Type-25 is an incredibly clever idea weapon that benefits Halo in a lot of ways both overtly and more subtly. Seeing as Halo is almost 20 years old, There’s been many iterations of this device over the years, each one with its own quirks, gimmicks and things that make it special. Lets take a trip through memory lane and explore each version of the Plasma Pistol!

Welcome to LateNightGaming where we discuss modern games on a regular basis and go in depth behind your favorite (Or least favorite) titles!
The best part of recording MP footage is seeing the chat saying “dude, wtf why is that one guy only using one gun”
yes
Lmao
Brjh
Yes
Dude read my mind at the end there with the warthog or smg 😂
What I like about halo vs. other fps's is that not every gun is just a generic point, click, and shoot gun, but instead has some unique guns with weird quirks.
@Lucas Cook call of duty fanboy detected
@Lucas Cook
There's no way you just said COD has a better sandbox than Halo.
Let my man Lucas Cook have an opinion alright, this is why halo's community is seen in a negative light because people aren't allowed to express their opinions if they don't line up with one group's thoughts, I play both COD and Halo alot of the time and have fun with both games, but if I feel that COD does something better than halo then why should I be labeled as a "COD fanboy"?
TLDR people like Lucas Cook should be able to express their opinions without being thrown into a certain category of people.
Edit, I don't mind counter arguing like Meh33 is demonstrating but if your just going after someone for saying something you don't like then thats when it gets toxic.
@Lucas Cook to counter your point, we like the halo sandbox more because in COD the only difference between weapons are stats, halo is different in that it actively tries not to follow that formula and makes each weapon unique to the point where they can't be compared to other weapons
Literally every boomer shooter is like that

"Massive, no fun allowed device" is the perfect way to describe the spartan laser
except for the guy wielding it
no it should be called the karen laser.
Behold perry the platypus my no fun allowed inator
So glad it isn’t in infinite. The skewer is a great replacement, as it’s a 1-shot-kill “go fuck yourself” gun that you have to lead and aim with to get kills, as well as a good anti-vehicle weapon
@@Beamer490 it one shots scorpions though if anything I’d classify the skewer as the “No fun allowed” weapon for halo infinite lol
Plasma pistol in-game: "I'm weak"
Plasma pistol according to lore and science: "UNLIMITED POWER!!!"
*put hand on top of the Plasma Pistol in the lore*
“This bad boy can melt through spartan armor”
I remember thinking this about the Covenant Carbine, the bolts it fires are both hot plasma and highly radioactive. Just a shot landing 10ft-ish from a Marine has a deadly amount of radiation exposure.
@@Rozes_xi9 Not sure about the science, but I recall someone saying that if the plasma fired from Covenant weapons is actual TRUE plasma, near misses would still lead to 3rd degree burns or just melts things away, not sure about the latter though
I understood that reference
@@logicaltips4107 Thats how it works in the books. A near-miss from an energy sword caused Master Chief's shields to flare and his internal suit temperature jumped up by several degrees to an uncomfortable level, when he was fighting the shipmaster of the Ascendant Justice in Halo: First Strike.

Please do more halo plus warzone builds
Yeah you should try designing some Spartan armor, I would love to see how you would make the recon or scout helmet look for example
I is fan
Wernissage 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾Love halo community team ups
I love how you displayed the gun from first person by putting the visual focus on the weapon and blurring the background.
Void’s Tear is probably the coolest REQ weapon in Halo 5 and I hope to see some really unique stuff like this in Infinite.
Whoever came up with the idea for it should get a raise.
2 things i learned in this video:
1. The evolution of the plasma pistol
2. This dude really loves the humming
Up next, Evolution of the rocket launcher.Please Late night
You miss spelled rocket
Yes
Or Warthog!
pls
I would agree, but it's mostly a slight texture change in each iteration of the Halo games, until Halo 5 comes up. It'd be a short video.
So it's possible he may not, for those reasons.
Plasma Pistol being fired once: pew
Plasma Pistol being fired after a charge: *shields go bye*
Your videos are always a nice change of pace from the generic "HEY GUYS WELCOME TO TODAY'S VIDEO!!!!!"

Thank you for not having anything like this in the vid, makes you even more unique and chill compared to the other youtubers in general

@@LateNightHalo I have a bad idea, what if you made a video in this style for April fools day.
HOI GOIS ITS ME OVAHLY ENTHUSIASHTIK BRI"ISH YOUTUBAH HEAH
Babe wake up new evolution video just dropped
I love how the little door on the top of the reach plasma pistol rattles around when you overcharge it. It feels so powerful it might come apart.
"Our big, green style cannot be defeated!" -Everyone who ever used the noob combo in Halo 2.
Now we just have to hope that Halo Infinite
has that distinct "hummmm" while charging
update: yes it does!
@@uykolyx You love to see it :) (or hear it lol)
This is the biggest oof of all time
the 1 dislike is from LNG himself
I'd truly love the evolution of either the SMG or Rocket Launcher. It's your preference, really.
Great Video btw
Huh, I never noticed the player turned on the weapon in Reach. That’s such a cool and small detail!
21:04 the spitfire plasma pistol is actually shooting multiple shots at once and has increased ROF
Reach Plasma Pistol was peak PP in my opinion. Truly the poster child of Halo being a sandox
Do the history of the chief’s armor
It would be dope
Hm 🤔. I'm surprised he hasn't covered this yet
I know right
Please do this late night
Have you noticed that in H4 despite the armor is "upgraded by nanites" it keeps the same burn mark and 117 braile on the chest plate from H3?
Now this is something I've been waiting for.
I've never gotten 23 likes on a comment before. I appreciate it you guys.
Every other halo: skinny normie plasma pistol
H5: THICCCCCCCCC
Sorry brah but CE's was a slaughterhouse on Legendary
@@justiceforjoggers2897 he was talking about the look, not it’s function
@@atomicspartan131
I'm saying I prefer petite and thin bro
@@justiceforjoggers2897 you said “CE’s was a slaughterhouse on legendary” leading me to believe you thought the original poster was saying H5’s plasma pistol was much better than CE’s. I proceeded to tell you that this was not the case, and now you’re switching it up on me, and saying that you were talking about the plasma pistols looks after all
I like thic but Halo 5's plasma pistol is just flat out obese and unattractive
The plasma pistol is such a cool weapon in every game. The charge up pared with a BR or magnum is so useful during legendary speed runs.
Gotta love Halo 2 Anniversary giving us both the best and worst looking plasma pistol.
0:43 yo how did he get his Halo 5 HUD to look like that
He's playing a PC port of halo 5 and using a mod called Exuberant.
@@josephmcsticc164 Ahhh thx for explaining, I was wondering too.
@@MossSlossG No problem.
Honestly, I kind of love the Halo 4 plasma pistol. I love the design, how it plays, and even the hum. Personally the Reach pistol is my favorite, but the Halo 4 one is a close second. The only downside about the Halo 4 one in my opinion is the capacity. It's a joke.
I love the Halo series SMGs, I get so much joy out of the suppressed SMG in ODST.
had a shit day today at school, thankfully lng uploaded
I hope your day improves
The version of the plasma pistol in CE was so fun to use, even if it wasn’t as cool as the magnum. It would just go pew pew really fast, and the fat globs of plasma it made melted through enemies shields.
I loved the Reach iteration of the plasma pistol. Definitely my favorite one. The damage buff was a big part of it, it seemed like it could strip a shield in 3 shots but that may have just been my trigger finger. It was real easy to surprise people with it in invasion. Honestly it's in my top 5 favorite weapons from that game, maybe even top 3
Personally my fav plasma pistol is the one in ce, easy to use, particles are gorgeous, very expressive, simple to use, I think it’s perfect
It sounds like the shield recharge and plasma pistol sound effects are made up from frequency sweeps. The shield recharge is definitely a simple low to high sweep of frequencies, while the plasma pistol has a deep modulating oscillator, which is what is creating the wavy, booming effect it has. Also, I have no clue what Audio Software Bungie was using at the time of Halo CE, but “Sci_Fi_Low_Freq_Mod” could refer to the sound being created in Protools’
Sci Fi Modulator plugin (which is specifically for creating outer space-y sound effects).
th-cam.com/video/PAsMlDptjx8/w-d-xo.html
This is a 20 Hz-20 kHz sweep (the range of hearing in average hearing).
This is essentially the basis for both sound effects. The 60 Hz to 200 Hz specifically.
CE probably has my favorite version. Everything from how large it loks to its sound effects(especially the overcharge hum) to the aggressive burn to the way the gun kicks around when it misfires gives it a lot of appeal. On top of that it's a reliable weapon and is decent at damaging the enemy. I've always found the OG look to be very pleasing to the eye, even if it's quite old by now.
I hated how in Halo 5 almost all covenant weapons had a "Pew pew" type sound
The thumbnail of this video is just gorgeous.
Edit: The font has a black outline (Something LNG doesn't usually do) and the way the plasma is building up looks nice on the thumbnail. That's all. Idk why you guys are all being so annoying about it XD
Looks pretty average to me
@@irredax56 okay.
@Irredax same g
It’s a good thumbnail but nothing out of the ordinary.
16:46 Am i the only one who LOVES the threads that it creates between the overheating light ant the opening cap? it looks like the energy was chease sticking to the top
I love how this guy makes halo CE sound like it was crafted by god himself
Wait, it wasn't?
Man these videos are always such a treat. This is easily my favorite Halo channel on youtube.
As for your next video, I LOVE the idea of an Evolution of The Warthog video, as well as doing videos for all the iconic Halo vehicles.
that idea of turning the Void's Tear concept into a gravity-manipulating weapon of it's own sounds really cool to me
Like the cut Halo 1 Gravity Rifle.
H5 version is my favorite, it's designed like a grunt face and can actually get kills
my first play through when i was six i thought it was ironic that the jackel carried their weakness
The "now there are two of them" title card made me spit out my soda
Woke up.
Kinda grumpy.
See LNG posted.
Feel better.
Speaking of stock sound effects.
The rocket launcher uses knight armor sounds for reloading and swinging, they're from library called Sound Ideas Series 6000 Extension I or something like that.
Unpopular opinion: This is the best all around campaign weapon in CE. Yes, better than the magnum. A ton of ammo, no reloading, good rate of fire and damage on all enemies (except hunters), and charge shot utility. This is my main weapon whenever I play CE campaign.
Replace CE with Reach and that's essentially my own opinion on the pistol. CE had me sporting the plasma rifle personally. Time to try a new play-style.
19:25 Haha you actually used the footage from my lobby... great vid Last Night halo, keep it up! :) (i'm morph btw)
How? Is it possible to change the HUD?
I saw something about it some years ago but never looked into it
@@gam8ero376 this is halo 5 on pc, we have the exuberant mod for that ;)
@@Kanken-jl7oe hope that in infinite the HUD is at least customisable if not helmet dedicated ;-;
@@gam8ero376 halo inf multiplayer is free to play… they’ll definitely want to *sell* us that…
Development synopsis: plasma pistol: "if it aint broke"
*Halo ce: essential*
*halo 2: Vital*
*halo 3: an afterthought*
*halo reach: an option on the table*
*halo osdt: an afterthought with added salt*
*halo 4: a non-viable option*
*halo 5: no
Halo 3fmng89uijaw haas the best pistol
@@MtnDew4828 no, reach
Halo 5 pistol looks like halo ce’s
Statistically doesn’t h5 have the best plasma pistol due to voids tear and spitfire???
I was playing FF Warzone Mythic the other day and we were down to the last minute against a mecha grunt, so I req'd a plasma pistol and broke the shield and head shotted the bastard in the cockpit. The thing is still very useful in niche cases, it just not advertised.
The thing that makes Halo's weapon sandbox variety great, is that each weapon is unique, and each weapon doesn't try to replace each, unlike games like Call of Duty or Battlefield, where almost all weapons try to compete against each other and just about most traits.
Story of frag grenade would be sick
Would recommend you make a video that does an umbrella summary of weapons or vehicles that have been short-lived by being in just 1 or 2 games. I'm not sure what sort of info you can get from something like that, but it'd be interesting to hear how your experience with them was.
Mission accomplished. Good work.
Perfect thing to come up for my second monitor while endlessly waiting in comp ques, great work as always dude!
Always love ur content bro, I love how you put so much effort into it
Another fun fact: Void's Tear is also in SPv3 and even has the gravitational vortex ability.
We already heard the Plasma Pistol's single shot sound effect in Infinite. You probably didn't notice because it sounds nothing like a Plasma Pistol lol xD
I thought it sounded pretty good.
I know this upload was rough. But I love to see this beautiful weapon getting a video
I actually really like the halo 5 plasma pistol unlike most other things in halo 5
I’d love to see the SMG as the next weapon you cover. Also I love these videos covering the history of these guns, it really makes me feel nostalgic, even about Halo 4 and 5. Great video as always!! :)
I’d want to see the SMG covered next as well-but everyone else seems to want the rocket launcher to be next instead
I’ve used paintball guns with bigger impact than the Halo 4 plasma pistol.
My life is complete. This weapon was like a companion I brought into every battle for how memorable and fun it was to use. It taught me that any weapon can be your most powerful tool depending on how it is used ❤️💜
Please make the history of the warthog
The Reach plasma pistol is the most satisfying to use, feels so responsive when quickly pulling the trigger.
The hummmm came back
I think an underrated aspect of halo 5s plasma pistol is the sound of the uncharged shots. they're very 1950s raygun sounding and I really love it. Also sad you didn't talk about the really cool visual effect of the void's tear when it's charging, like a sort of black glow that streaks across most of the screen, which was also hidden by the background you filmed it on.
Visually I love the way it breaks open and the removal of the reach sight rib, I never really liked it
My favorite is definitely CE's plasma pistol though, it feels less like an EMP utility weapon and a more like a pocket rocket launcher, and its huge compared to the others. And the sparking visual effect is also so cool.
Great video as always
Why delete it last time? Anyway I love this series, continue with it!

Babe wake up LNG just uploaded!
I am not sure but i think the Classic "Hummmmmmm" is back in Infinite
We have been heard
Back here after 343 confirmed the hum is back
my favorite version other than the halo 1-3 and reach is the Halo Infinite unbound plasma pistol.
Can’t believe I’ve never noticed that the Reach one’s heat cover shakes when holding an overcharge, that’s awesome
Warthog's evolution would be nice, as a change from weapons videos !
PLEASE DO THE WARTHOG NEXT!
I’d love to see the evolution of one of gaming’s most iconic trucks. Especially when it’s something that got better with time.
When you kill a gold elite./my life’s work is finished
I would love to see a video on the evolution of Halo vehicles but I feel the only ones we could take about would be the Warthog, Ghost, and Banshee..
New video! Im bready for it!
Void's tear (😢) is my favorite Plasma Pistol type mainly due to its coloration. It those colors match my armor and seeing it all in frame just look AMAZING! But the vortex thing is a bonus!
14:01 Damn, that is what I call being salty. And the best part is it’s justified.
Whenever I imagined how it would look like if you actually stuck someone with a plasma grenade, I always imagined the same aggressive sparking and flaring the charged plasma shots made in halo CE coming off of the player's armor, as if it were burning through the Mjolnir as it stuck to them, embedding into the target, and making them explode I'm what'd probably be a very violent and painful death.
Can't imagine having one burn through my flesh if I were unlucky enough to get stuck without any armor, painful!
I never liked the Reach redesign, Halo 3's was the peak for me as it looks closest to the original, same with the Plasma Rifle, they added blocky shapes to them both in Reach unfortunately. Halo 3 kept the smooth sleek shapes that were originally seen on Halo CE which is why I personally think Halo 3's are the closest to the original guns and best looking incarnations.
Reach is still a faithful redesign and not a half bad looking one but i see what you mean
@@RodWaffle It is, I'd take it over Halo 5's obese lump any day 😂
@@Phantom_Aspekt halo 5s plasma pistol looks like a brick with lights
yeah, most people seem to be either 3 fans or Reach fans. they have super different artstyles and i love em both but somethin about reach's grittiness just hits different for me
I do like that, unlike most games, the bad guys' cannon fodder weapon is actually interesting and effective in Halo.
343 removed our dear microwave hum. my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
Man, i saw this earlier and deadass waited until i had food at the end of the day to relax and watch. Good stuff.
Plasma pistol in game- I’m weak
Plasma pistol in the lore and books- UNLIMITED POWER
Great job copy pasting mate
Stolen
I get excited every time one of these "Evolution of Halo Weapons" videos releases. I appreciate the time and effort that goes into these, and I'm excited to see how these weapons evolve in Infinite!
And now it's poo
I was really excited yesterday when I saw the notification. Then the video wasn't available anymore but I'm glad I'm able to watch it now
My personal favorite plasma pistol was from Reach due to it's awesome design and high damage
They brought back the over charged sound even though it’s heavily edited but it’s a win
When I was a kid and first played Halo, I didn't know the games name surprisingly. Only think I remembered were the sounds and the look of the guns. Growing up I kept hearing that humming sound all over the schools and during the weekends while spending time with friends. When I got a bit older I got Halo 2 as it was new back then and there I heard it again. The things that pop into my mind whenever someone says "Halo" I instantly think of the Under Cover of Night song and the hum of the Plasma Pistol. Sadly with the later Halo games as they changed the sounds I had to recreate the sounds in my mind back to the old ones. When playing split-screen with my sister we both hum the Plasma Pistol sound whenever we pick it up in Halo 4. Just to kind of suppress the new sound from the game.
Probably the weapon I most associate with Halo, I was waiting for you to cover this one
I have never noticed that they switch the PP on in Reach, that's such a brilliant detail!
My ideal plasma pistol is CE's with the vehicle EMP. It's the only one that felt good shoot it as fast as you could pull the trigger. Plus it was able to kill, to a degree. Like you could overcharge an elite shield, and just let loose another dozen plasma shots to finish 'em off if you so wanted. But it didn't have much range outside the overcharge, allowing the magnum to come into play for noob combos. Same thing goes for multiplayer, where you can either overcharge a spartan with it, or let loose cosistent rapid fire plasma shots to get a kill. Also it might just be me, but the viewmodel animations for CE's plasma pistol the best one imo, because there's not that weird jump in the recoil between shots like the later iterations when rapid firing.
I actually really like the 5/Infinite plasma pistol design, one of my favorite looking weapons in the franchise, and hum aside the firing sound is satisfying
Definitely go with Warthog! SMGs are great, but the 4 games they’ve appeared in I feel wouldn’t make for the MOST exciting video, even with the smaller or larger differences. However the HOG has been in alllll the games, with quite a few drastic shifts. I would LOVE to hear your breakdown on its evolution!
