Good advice cockroach but plasma pistols are better than laser pistols?

[The Fifth Horseman]

But they also need Elerium and have a limited ammo supply.

[Wolf Thug]

they are still better

You know, this may be off topic, but 174 pages + of responces to this topic. It's a tribute to the sheer power of this game.

I wonder if there's a way to see what threads on this board has the most replys, etc.

Why dont we use ufo2000 for multiplayer?

[PrejudiceSucks]

There's a topic for that, keep this to UFO : EU.

And MasterMC, yes, Laser anything is infinite ammo.

Bad frontline weapons:
Heavy cannon: 6 shots, 2 per round
Rocket launcher: 1 shot, can't move to cover
Blaster launcher: 1 shot, precious ammo

These are not frontline weapons. They are support weapons and are used for support purposes. The blaster launcher is for making extra entrances in UFO's and for clumps of aliens. The rocket launcher is for clumps of aliens and four square sized terror critters, it is also good for clearing away the jungle and widening windows to allow your troopers to shoot into buildings. The heavy cannon is a trade off of extra rounds and higher rate of fire in exchange for reduced effectiveness. The autocannon adds more rounds and autofire, but lacks the punch to knock open brick walls.

It's a trade off really. A pistol made for stopping power vs one with twice the speed, and unlimited ammo at a small power loss vs one that is very accurate but weak. Wielding a laser pistol in one hand and a plasma/standard in the other is quite fun and I've grown quite attached to the setup in my current pistol only campaign.
