So now I'm a beta tester. Let's see where this goes.

Very limited choices and there is no AR in Halo 2. If you Battle Riffle then would take BR + Plasma Pistol. Yes I know it's the "noob combo" but their is a reason why everyone uses it.

If he does mean battle rifle, then my vote goes for it with the magnum because both make use of the Grunt Birthday Party skull effect.

I find that I play H2 very differently than CE when it comes to my weapons mix. Allow me to explain:

With CE I find I can mix my weapons very freely and still enjoy playing the game. I can approach things from many different directions, like only using a PP and never the second weapon, or melee and pistol only.......the combinations are exceptionally wide in arrangement.

With H2, if I don't use the proper balancing combo the levels on Legendary are just a pain in the arse to play. I do not enjoy using the SMG, Plasma Rifle and Magnum in H2, they just seem to be useless weapons for the way I like to play. The PP has been watered down to a great extent (in CE you can take out ANYTHING, short, medium or long distance if you use it right), and in H2 is pretty much just for taking out Elites with the Noob Combo (which on Legendary is essential to be able to do).

I like to take as many different approaches as I can, since I play only CE and H2, and campaign only. I have found that CE allows me so many different ways to play the game that I spend 75% of my time there trying to create new options on how to get things done. I love puzzles, and after solving the original H2 puzzle, there are just not enough options on how to play it as there are CE.

Having said all of that, the weapons mix in CE is dependent on whatever game type I am currently going for, and for H2 is dependent on whatever level or skull I am after.
