Hi guys! Personally, I think... Maybe the Pistol is the best... But for close range, AR kicks ass! If you fire that thing in bursts, it's devastating! Take my poll, and vote on the best Halo PC weapon.


P.S. Fuel Rod Gun is for n00bs

It was a difficult decision between the sniper rifle and the pistol. I eventually chose the sniper rifle because it has unlimited range. But still, the pistol OWNS as well. But the sniper rifle is just a teensy bit better. By only a little. In fact, if you looked at it without a microscope, they'd be tied. But anyway, I voted sniper rifle.

I voted sniper rifle...taking most effective to its literal meaning tho, i would have chosen rockets because they kill in a hit, without having to get a headshot...
But yeah, sniper rifle still good with its 1/2 hit kill and range...most effective = rocket launcher, frg close second, Best=sniper rifle, pistol close second...take it as u will

Thanks for your opinion guys! I think the pistol is WAY too powerful and accurate in Halo. Even the AR should be more accurate in reality if you fire it on semi-automatic mode. Also, why is the pistol more powerful than the AR??? I mean, is it a Desert Eagle .50 cal or something?

Anyway, the AR is the coolest by far,(even if the pistol is the most effective all around weapon) and the cheapest weapons are Rocket Launcher and Fuel Rod Gun. (Unless you use the RL to blow up shees or Hogs...)

Another thing I forgot to mention is that most of the time you can dodge a sniper preety easily, unless you are up against a pro...

P.S. How the -blam!- do you put pictures in your post!!!!

You can only link to pictures on these forums. I said pistol cause you normaly start off with it and if you can use it correctly, you can pwn everybody. The sniper rifle is very close though. Infact, I would say they are tied. If you can learn to use it in close range, it is very deadly.

Actualy... the reason the pistol is so powerfull, is because the bullets have an Explosive tip on them, thats why its so devestating. if you shoot a wall or somthing, you will see a flash, thats the Explosives.

After doing extensive analytical analysis and taking apart dissective reasearch about the subject, i found that your mom is the most effective weapon in Halo PC

=====>slaps self silly<=====

Just kidding!

*snickers at self*

Anyways, it depends on if its campaign or multiplayer.

If its campaign, the pistol (plasma) wins out.

If its Multiplayer, the sniper rifle is better for me. This wasnt the case until about a few months ago, but now that ive started to use it, im liking it more and more with each kill. It sucks when using it up close, but its an awesome pwnage weapon.

It doesn't suck up close, it is just hard to use.

From what I have read is that the pistol is

12.7mm versus 7.62 for the assault rifle


Definitely more powerful than the assault rifle and rightfully so if the calibers are correct.
Based on the little manual included.

Also they are semi armor piercing HE rounds

SO the pistol is definitely more powerful.
We could debate it' place in Halo PC but based on it's design it would definitely be a kick ass weapon.


The 7.62 for the assault rifle is armor piercing, the diff between semi and armor piercing I am sure Bungie knows but a HE round would definitely be more damaging once it exploded.

I like the sniper and pistil, but i use the plasma riffle when the lag isn’t to high, make your way close, fire, strafe to the side, and as soon as there shield drops, *wham* whack em with it.

I tried firing a 40 cal, but never a 50 cal, knowing me it would probably slip out of my hand and smack the person standing behind me. I have fired a 50 caliber sniper rifle before, they’ll leave a nice mark on your shoulder after a few shots.

Are there any levels on Halo with a Flamethrower in?

(p.s. how do you play the CTF servers in the online section?)

It's hard to choose one good weapon. They all have their uses. My top ones are the pistol, shotgun, assault rifle, plasma rifle, and rocket launcher. The plasma rifle is excellent for invading another team's base. I shoot, throw a grenade, and i can take out like 3-4 people before i die. With the lag, plasma weapons are almost useless at medium-long ranges.
