Pistol is the most effective for me in close or long ranges.

It would've been too easy if you had the shotgun, however it would've made sense rather than increasing your reptoire half way through

Boomstick-Shotgun
AND
Sperm shooter-Sniper Rifle.


My favourite "Do anything " Combo. Got yer sniper for medium to long long long range.
And the shotgun to mess people up if they get within my proximity bubble..

I disagree to the above statement describing Plasma Pistol as the best.

I believe the SNIPER RIFLE provides supreme accuracy and enough damage (dependant upon where you shoot). The sniper rifle's only downfall is when used against the flood who completely ignore the shots. Damn them. DAMN THEM ALL.

P.S. Sniper Rifle is otherwise the best...

The Assault Rifle is tight, but lacks alot. It's used best at close range anyway. As for the Plasma Pistol I have alot of trouble with, unless you got a Pistol or Shotgun to complement
it. However the Plasma Rifle kills it cause' not only does it do alot of damage at full auto,
but it stuns, making it great for shooting an opponent from behind and running into them
to perform a melee attack one-hit kill! My personal fav is the Pistol, the double pistol combo
kills it as well.

I just think the plasma rifle is the best.
But one of my freinds can fire so rapidly with the plasma pistol that it probably is the best.
Its battery is also HUGE!

the plasma rifle is definitely not the best, although i admit neither is the plasma pistol, if you include multiplayer the pistol truly is king

Posted by: I KILL GRUNTS
betcha im gonna be the only one who votes for needler....

its the for taking out elites. it can whoop up groups of grunts (just any other weapons...)


Good for single player, worst for multiplayer. Human pistol best weapon. Plasma pistol horrible at long range, lethal up close. Human pistol lethal from far and close.

i think everyone needs to kno that pistol may be the best weapon (adn it is, i love it!) and sniper may be the most powerful(even if its only long distance) (too hard to be good at close range with sniper) and rocket launcher may be the strongest (the missles are slow, reloads slow, only 2 per clip) we all kno deep down that we love the shotgun, it may suck long range, but nothing can beat it in close range unless ur a sniper god and ur good with it close range, and its the melee weapon of choice, shotguns forever!!!

I think the human pistol is it is the most versatile in MP. For close range it's a tie between the PP and shotgun, all it take sis 1 overcharge shot and a melee to take someone out or a shotgun blast, but the plasma pistol has an easier time on veichles, especially a fully loaded tank or hog, and ot eats through the overshield. But the shotgun is still cool. The plasma rifle is good at close range with rapid fire and a melee, but pales in comparison if your good with the PP. I think that the sniper rifle is the best complemented with the pistol, because if you've got a shotgun with it then you will have a hard time hittting anything with it if their at medium range with a pistol your screwed. I think that the weapons rank in this order of effectivness and coolness.

1. Pistol
2. Sniper
3. Rocket
4. Plasma Pistol
5. Shotgun
6.Plasma Rifle
7 Needler
8. Assault Rifle

That is just my opinion even though I am good with all the weapons, some more than others but I know how to uss them all effectively. Frag grenades would probably be very high on the list because I love them, but I hate the sticky nades.

you should give the needler a chance practice makes perfect, its almost indispensable once you get the hang of it

It really depends on what you are fighting. I like the plasma pistol best for covenant because it is fast, lots of ammo (well, at least lots of them lying around), and good against elite and jackal shields. However, if fighting the flood, I prefer the pistol, it's really fast and powerful. For multiplayer, pistol is the best for anything, it is powerful and accurate. I find it is more effective long range than sniper is in many occasions because it fires so fast.

I think the combo of the plasma rifle/pistol is the best in the right hands. The rifle can stun enemies and has fast melee speed, while the pistol has overcharge capabilities and can shoot as fast as you pull the trigger. A truly deadly combination when used by skilled players.

Ye, i agree that the plasma pistol is definately the best weapon, but only if you know how to use it correctly. Especially with the assault rifle asfter and overcharge into an elite or jackal to take out the sheild, then a gernade stuck to them or a fresh clip of the assault rifle and a shwack should bring them down in no time.

yes, finally someone agrees, for elites using the plasma pistol overcharge disorients them so you can plug a grenade or a quick punch into them, if youve ever watched anhy of the legendary videos(over how legendary should be done:D) you'll see how useful this is

sniper is the best in terms of firepower, but there is never enough ammo, and the shotgun is only useful at close quarters, where as the pistol and plasma pistol are good at any range
