WASSUP!!!! Just another poll on Halo PC weapons...
Personally, I think AR is the best, because you can drop the other guy by firing in bursts! But sometimes, shotgun is the bomb if you get close enough...

P.S. TO ALL BEGINNERS:

DO: STRAFE AND SHOOT IN CONTROLLED BURSTS WITH THE AR AT CLOSE RANGE
DON'T: RUN FORWARD AT THE OPPONENT AND BLAST AWAY(beleive me, I've tried...)
DO:USE THE AR AT CLOSE RANGE AND ON SOME RARE OCCASIONS MEDIUM RANGE
DON'T: SNIPE WITH THE AR (LOL)
ANOTHER DON'T: STAND AROUND NOT MOVING WHEN YOUR ENEMY HAS A SNIPER... (OBVIOUSLY)
YET ANOTHER DON'T: BE A SHEE, ROCKET, OR FUEL ROD GUN "NEWBIE" (NO OFFENSE MEANT)

read the sig, man, read the sig.

and the RL is not suicide untill melee range...

and it's ok to use it to taks out a shee, hog or tank, as well as an idiot or two who runs up to you in the mean time. just don't whore it

but i like eaither the ar or shotgun. ar is better at long ranges, but if your realy close, you can't beat the shotgun's one hit kill

EDIT: check your post; at close range, the AR should be auto fired. only at longer and mediumn (basicaly at all pistol range) should the AR be bust fired. it's awsome if ytou do, but at close ranges, you got a much better chance of hitting the enemy with auto fire

the rl is good for that range except getting too close. (like iamwhie said) it makes a nice instant kill weapon to surprise people with :D

Plasma nade...bar-none, nothing better than sticking some cocky guy on BG - no longer can he call you a noob. Once you master sticking, you become a legend in the game ;)

as far as the amount of skill and luck needed for each of those choices the shotgun is my vote. don't need the luck that you won't kill yourself with a rocket or that you shot will stay straight with the sniper or that all your ar shots will hit their target. and it doesn't really take much skill because of the shot spread... not to mention it is extremely effective in taking down hog new people....

Shotgun and plasma nades are good ones. Why not put plasma rifle in the poll? I can take out 5 guys in a sidewinder base with it and a few nades before i die.
