A lot of people think that there are certain weapons that are better in certain scenarios. But the Pistol is the best weapon over all. It is also the best weapon against the flood I found out. Especially when playing on Legendary and you don't want to get too close to them. 2 shots to the chest and they are out like a light at a Jewish Wedding.

The sniper rifle is the best weapon ever.

on CE?The Shotty,in my opinion.it can take out multiple targets in long and medium range,and 1 shot 1 kill (or more) in close quarters.

I don't know if it is the best, but I think it is the most versitile. Best is more a matter of opinion.

In a matter of speaking, yes and no. It is all around great, perfectly balance with a lot of punch. There is a slow fire rate, so that is it's only down fall.

I think the pistol is effective. AR is pretty good if you use control burst and it comes with a moderate 660 bullets.

The pistol is the best weapon because it has the least disadvantages. The thing that makes people cry so much about it is that, even though it can be beaten easily by other weapons in their area of best effectiveness, it performs so much better than the other weapons outside it.

its a good all around weapon, but the best weapon is probably the rocket launcher considering most matches revolove around vying for it every 2 minutes.

Perhaps, if you look it that way, RhythmKiller. However, if the sniper rifle is a weapon that can perform well at all ranges and kill somebody the fastest way possible with one headshot, couldn't one say that the sniper rifle is the best weapon in the game? It takes more skill than the pistol, yet it's one of the deadliest guns.

Yes, if you look at it that way. But if you are going to look at it that way, in terms of potential only, the rocket launcher would be the best because you can kill multiple people in one shot from across any distance. Sure, nobody can really do that because of the practical drawbacks like having to lead and only having a 2x scope - but then most people can't no-scope close range all day long with the sniper either, making it less practical than it's raw potential would have us believe.

the best weapon in Halo CE would be the sniper rifle for me on legendary or on any difficulty

but my best weapon for just for fun in CE would be the assault Riffle

The pistol is good for sniping targets at mid-long range. The AR can quickly take out unsheilded enemies in close quarters, some cases it's deadlier than the shotgun.

^Most of that is from Halo PC multiplayer^

Yepp Pistol Owns in CE 'cause it shoots so well and all you gotta do is give 'em a couple shots and then a smack to the head.
