The pistol is the "Best" weapon, but the needler is my favourite. Man If you get good at leading with the needler pink doom shall reign upon all those who apose!


The pistol is NOT the best weapon. It is easier to use, but here:

Sniper Rifle - Capable of one hit kills at any range if you're good. 4 kills per clip.
Pistol - Capable of 3 hit kills at almost any range. 4 kills per clip. (12 divided by 3 shots each)

Sniper has longer range, faster bullet speed, and faster kills then the Pistol. And, the same amount of kills per clip. IF you're good.

So technically, it is the best overall weapon. Of course, the pistol is a lot easier to use, but in terms of power, the sniper is the weapon of choice, and has the potential to beat any other weapon or player.

I am partial to the sniper rifle, but only because of the fact that if your good you can reach out and touch someone. And I'd hate to toot my own horn but TOOT.

HA HA HA AH AH AHA HA! You never played a real match have you? Well, in a real match against good people they cap you one shot in the head with the pistol at the beginning across the map before you can reach your precious SR! Your one of those stupid campers arent you?



and the pistol is a more satisfying kill >:)

I'll have to say the sniper rifle. I always have one in multiplayer but the pistal is my second so if someone gets close I'll pop them in the head.

I almost completely agree. I love using the shotgun and gernades for close combate. But for long distances you have to use the bad ass sniper rifle and the pistol. I am a born sniper. I snipe in every first person shooter I have. Cant wait for Halo 2.

MY fav weapon, the shotgun is PRICELESS in the campaign, once you encounter the Flood you shoulg never even think about droping the shoutgun. It works greast against all enimies.
Elites: 1-2
Grunts:1
All forms of the Flood:1
Jackals: Meele

I dont play multiplayer much but i play campane almost constantly(altho i play on xbl) i voted shotgun but i thingk every weapon has its place.

Pistiol:all around good weapon(althogh i mostly use it as a backup weapon)

Plasma pistol:overcharged shots are the main atractin of this weapon i call it the sheild drooper regular shots are good for grunts and finishing of elites and jackals(if your other weapon is outa ammo)

Assault rifle:most players say to ditch this weapon but if your up close to an elite unload into their sheilds until you run outta ammo then melee em to death.

Plasma rifle:another good all around weapon(same use as pistol)

Shotgun:my personal favorit get up close to any enemy on foot 2to4 shots is mostly what you need to drop an elite

Neddler:this weapon is the anti elite get one in your sights hold the trigger down wait 4 seconds

Rocket launcher:This weapon is self explanatory

we can tell you dont play multi much. first of all, there will be people with pistols that blow your head off when the game starts. the pistol should be the main weapon in campain because all the other weapons have ammo issues while pistol doesnt. plasma pistols can be used to maul everything! i took out a room of grunts and elites today with one plasma pistol and a few melees (plasma pistols melee the fastest in the game and charged shots are just a part of this awesome weapons! AR... eh... dont use it if there is another weapon. needlers are good against legendary elites only (the other elites are easier to kill meleeing them than needler) and even then, run like heck cause you got one angry, exploding elite on your tail! the shotgun should be a secondary weapon because it has little ammo (unless in Multi then go nuts cause you will die alot) and you should only use it when you are POINT BLANK! not 2 to 4 shots, ONE FREAKING SHOT IS ALL THAT IS NEEDED TO TAKE DOWN ANYTHING!!! (cept on high game levels) so please, blue elite, get an original name and play more multi

i say the pistol and the plasma pistol is the best combo. one the plasma pistol rips an elites shield right off and 2 the pistol will kill him in 1-2 shots after the shield is gone. so they make a perfect combonation
