Mine was a tie between pistol & AR, but I went with AR. They are my all-time favorite combo for all the Halo Trilogy. I was sad when in Halo 2 they took away the assault rifle AND removed the scope from the pistol to boot!

The Assault Rifle. I just love that you can mow down dozens of Covenant.

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.

Assault Rifle.

I have two answers to this questions.

My favorite weapon to use during gameplay is the Sniper Rifle. I love the way it sounds and it is a blast to use from painfully long distances (like going back up to a bridge to shoot at targets below you or taking a ride in a banshee on AotCR with the SR in tow up to a platform and taking shots from on top of the blue pylons at the ends!).

My most used weapon on the other hand is pretty much the Plasma Pistol. I have a blast taking EVERYTHING out with it. There is not one thing you cannot kill during the gameplay with it. Granted taking out Banshees is a total pain in the kiester with a PP, but it can be done. The CE PP is the most utility oriented weapon, having alot strengths with few weaknesses. For all of the griping that goes on related to the human pistol, it is surprising there is not even more on the plasma pistol!

you should touch my spartan

you could never go wrong with a pistol that was only slightly less accurate or powerful than the sniper, i mean 3 headshots to eat up shields and health BOMB!

Magnum/Pistol. You literally don't need any other weapon. Damn thing kills everything including vehicles.

Lately I have been playing with a weapon I have ignored for years.....the AR. I am getting to the point where I now have changed my mind about the quality of the weapon. If you think while you are using it, instead of going bullet hose, it has some mighty fine attributes. It does go through the ammo, as the stopping power of the rounds is weak, taking 3-5 for even grunts (although I do get the feeling that 2 perfect shots to a jackals "pouch" takes him down pronto) so it is a good thing there is a lot of it laying around! I played levels 1-4 with only grenades and the AR, no other weapon fired and it was easy for the first two, but once you get into T&R and SC those levels have so many more enemies that the AR ammo has to be used very wisely during some parts. It is alot of fun to take down grunts with a 2-3 round burst and finish them off with a AR stock to the grunty forehead! Save ammo, Melee a GRUNT!.......and a jackal, and an elite for that matter! The best way to save the ammo is to taunt the hunters over a cliff to their deaths, or melee them rather than hose them down with precious AR rounds.

I hated how Bungie made the AR such a bad weapon. Instead of having 60 bullets, you now have only 32 bullets to fire.

It's more accurate and powerful now, so it makes up for that. (I just wish they kept the original firing sound.)
For me it's the M6D pistol.
I also like how the plasma pistol was actually useful this time around.
