Yeah, Needler. It's not that I didn't think firing purple crystals that made small explosions and a big one if you grouped them together wasn't cool, it's just that it sucks for multiplayer.

well the needler comes in second, with plasma pistol in first. yeah, the needler is almost worse than the PP in multiplayer, but if you can pull it off, its friggen amazing. so plasma pistol is my most 'hated' weapon..

You have reached the voice message system. To place this call as urgent, press eleven.

You might want to redo this thread. There are 8 weapons in CE and you only have 7; the shotty is up there twice.

Personally, my least favorite to use it the sniper. I only pick it up if the situation calls for it. For example if someone's halfway across the map on BG with our flag and the sniper just happens to be right next to me I'll pick it up because it's the only logical thing to do. The pistol, unfortunately, is almost a must no matter what situation you're in, so I rarely drop it. I like to keep the AR with me. I know it's horribly inaccurate but it's good at flustering SOME long-range marksmen and it's good and finishing of a frag damaged target.

This is CE, but even so, I don't think the AU changed anything; you're just imagining things.

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.

Needler,by far. You have to chase after or ricochet the crystals to kill an Elite,Jackal,or Hunter. The sniper rifle,assault rifle,shotgun,and Plasma Pistol are awesome.

I find the Plasma Rifle pretty useless... The needler is one of the most useful weapons... !

It would have to be the needler, followed by the plasma pistol. The plasma rifle isn't too bad. The plasma freeze/melee combo works pretty well sometimes, but it would still probably be third for me.

How do you find the plasma rifle useless when it's actually very useful in close quarters thanks to it's slight stunning element?

You've got the point there. You have to look at the weapons in terms of balance. To make this easy, make a list of all the weapons in the game that directly affect a players ability to move/aim. The plasma rifle is far more substantial than anything else (I'm not talking about the rocket or grenades in terms of movement abilities, just those that affect speed). Being able to limit a persons speed while simultaneously slowing down their aiming ability (HUGE DEAL) is pretty substantial. Don't even take the plasma full auto, just spurt off shots and circle strafe around them, and you will be a huge burden to even the best of players. Even better is when the other person has a shotgun, and you time your plasma bursts so that as they go to swing and shoot, you slow down their aim and *whack*. Covenant weapons are made for dropping shields, so the PR and a good smack will take people down fast.

Don't hate on the PR is all I'm saying.
