Heyyo,
The pistol is overall one of the best weapons for sure, I almost always have one with me, good at any range, and in many situations. Doesn't take up a lot of the screen (probably the least amount besides the plasma pistol), works decent on vehicles (I've killed many-a-banshees with a pistol when they tried to escape from me, lol), and 3 well placed shots to the head kills anyone with norm shield values.
fuel rod is n00b. Everyone whores themself to that and the rl. Dude, I could slap my stick on my mouse and still pwn with a fuelrod cause it's the n00bcannon, lol.... it also takes up a huge amount of space on the right side of the screen, which's annoying.
Overall? no, it's not that good. It's pretty hard to shoot far targets, can overheat easily, and is only really effective close range, and on vehicles (most notably the hog). In Halo2 they removed this blasphemy of a weapon cause it's too strong and easy to kill with...
The sniper rifle's great, but takes some getting use to for leading time (the pistols easier to learn cause ammo is plentiful.
The assault rifle has be dummbed down to one of the weakest guns in the game. Takes a lot of bullets to take someone down, is useless at medium range and up. But at least it's still got the nice fast melee attack. ;)
