I know many of you prefer the sniper/shotgun combo on blood gulch but wouldn't it be better if instead of the shotty you had the pistol?? If your sniping and someones coming at you with a pistol it won't be long before they kill you because the shotgun is only good at extremely close range and the snipe at far range so someone with a pistol could easily kill you. Thats why I'm wondering how is it that effective?

you've got a good point there. But wouldn't the shotty and rocket launcher just own?

wouldn't the shotty and rocket launcher just own? Never thought of that but it probably would, unless you were facing a long range sniper. The thing is I just can't see the shotty being effective in the gulch unless you are flag guarding because any mid range weapon would own you.

i agree with you, pistol and sniper are a great combo. here are combos i use (might not be so good for you guys but i like em)

pistol::sniper rifle (pistol for midrange sniper for far)
plasma rifle::shotgun (plasma to soften em up as i rush, then finish with shotty)
fuel rod::plasma pistol (take out shield with plasma pistol and when they rush me thinking "oh he only has plasma pistol!" i hit em with fuel rod)
rocket::fuel rod (mmmm mmmm explosives!!!! im rick james!)
shotgun::pistol (long-mid range pistol, short range shotgun)

how about you guys? got any special combos?

yea for BG i stick to sniper and pistol if i'm out walking the level. Pistol is the best weapon- and its universal, and a whopping three head shots can kill from quite a distance. If your a good player, ur not gonna let some kid come up to with a good gun that will blast u to oblivion. I actually hate a sniper/RocketL pair cuz i can't take out a lot of enemies at once and shooting sniper can be risky since u become an immediate target and its easy to succumb to lots of pistolers, i'm a Halo Trial player, and i usually stick with a versatile weapon like a pistol along with some other weapon. Preferably a sniper, RL, or FRG, but really anything else is good at takin out WHs if u can lob a nade well. O well, if u play Halo Trial, Visit Clan PB Server for an "enhanced game." We suggest u don't betray, esp the host.
