I always offer fair game and usually allow some "extermination" of my teammates. I think that anyone should be able to play Halo or any other game they please.

Would you rather have the needler,plasma pistol,or magnum? I would rather have the magnum.How about you?

First and foremost, the Magnum. But I do have to admit that the PP is a very close second. Over the years I have found the PP to be exceptionally useful in alot of the gameplay. I have recounted in many posts how useful it is. The 2x sight and the sound and look of the mag though keep me firmly rooted in that as my first choice. There are alot of times when I use the two as my walking around wiping out the enemy combo. I am not a big fan of the AR and usually dump it as soon as I can. The needler is handy is some situations, and the PR I almost never use except as a way to wipe out popcorn flood so that I am not wasting ammo from a preferred weapon.

I have to go with the pistol. Next is the needler. I just love the design and power of it.

the pistol. it's so strong i think it could be considered a primary wepon, not just a side-arm.

Mutliplayer: Pistol. The ultimate gun.

Campaign: Plasma Pistol. The overcharge takes Elites' and Jackals' shields out is one hit. The semi-auto mode is damn fast and kills Grunts and unshielded enemies in no time. Sentinels go down in one hit. It even kills Flood quite effectively. And there is always more to pick up from the Grunts. I made it through the Belly of the Beast using only a PP and Grenades (and Sniper for the Hunters) and three Marines survived.

You'd probably shoot back if i wasn't T-bagging your dead body.

magnum, best banshee killing/ grunt owning/ hunter slaying/ jackal sniping/ elite face shooting/ flood asploding weapon there is

Sometimes when I look at the moon at night, my mind embraces the thought of a love so vivid and true that I almost believe it is real. Then, due to my delusions, I am forced back into reality and begin to indulge myself in real life vices such as chocolates and German board games to get that once natural high.

Needler.

Keep in mind, that the magnum in Halo CE was more of a rifle/sniper weapon compacted into one, nice pistol (with infinite ammo glitch if you know the simple trick).

I have to say the Plasma Rifle, it was nice, and powerful. (in halo 2, it makes a cool sound when you shoot with it)
