look... its easily the rocket
to everyone that says its not, come at me with a br and try and kill me. ill kill you (or perhaps myself too) 9/10 times. even if your far away, ill still have time to duck

dont get me wrong, the br is a great weapon, but you couldnt quad shoot me before i blew you up if you were even reasonably close enough to kill me in four shots

Uh ok. Rockets are extremely predictable. Ill take a battle rifle on the top of red base on beaver creek, you have your rockets on top of blue base at beaver creek. There is no way you would win. Rockets are wayyy too easy to predict their track if you are at a long enough distance to get out of the way.

Rockets are useless.

The BR is like the pistol in halo 1. Sure, from five feet away a rocket launcher would win and from a mile away the sniper would win. But the BR at mid range is a perfect weapon.

Brute shot! Actually no. As i said in a Halo Combat Evolved forum, i use combos.
BR: sniper, shotgun, energy sword, smg
Sniper: BR, shotgun, energy sword
Smg: dualed with plasma rifle, dualed with magnum

I do not believe there is a such thing as a "best weapon" in Halo 2. All weapons have both advantages and disadvantages over eachother. Now, if you were looking for an "all around" weapon... I'd have to agree with PhantomDookie and say the Carbine.

the best weapon is either the sniper or the BR depening on waht kind of match your in ( snipers or Slayer BR ) But if it was Sniper Rife verus the BR in regular slayer match, the sniper is best weapon ( depending on the skill of the user ) because it is more accurate from longer ranges and one shot can kill or take down you shields.

That's the problem with Halo 2, the weapons are way too unbalanced.

Yes, I agree in the way that there was "unbalance" with the weapons. There was just a small "unbalance" though, people need to learn how to use what is at their disposal. Weapons marked as "noobs only" are often walked over because of their name. You should use the weapon.Bungie put it there for a reason. So you can't blame anyone saying that the guy only won because he was using a plasma pistol noob combo.. you blame yourself for not picking up that rocket launcher and blowing him into little tiny pieces.

Halo definitely has it's strengths but I am troubled that Bungie's idea of balancing deals with weapon placements, spawns, and minute damage changes rather then the structure of the weapons. I single pistol will never beat a BR, 2 pistols will never beat a BR, SMG can only defeat the BR in specific situations.

Never mind all of that, I'm an Unreal fanboy, if anyone wants to engage in a discussion of Unreal * vs anything I'll be more than happy to contribute.

I would have to agree that it depends on what situation you are in. I personally am not a big fan of rockets b/c there is to much trouble in possibly killing your own team. But have we all forgotten about grenades. I mean come on yeah the BR is probably one of the better weapons but a well placed nade can end you fortunate death and give you a kill. And to those of you who do run over the PP and wait and someone kills you with it DON"T GET PISSED OFF B/C HE BEAT YOU WITH IT. I mean come on I have fallen victim to noob combo plenty of times and it pisses me off, but I will go for the PP any time possible.
