I find the worst weapon is the AR mainly as you play on harder difficulties. The only thing i find it's good for is killing the flood infestation head things.

AR sucks ass. I would rather melee with an empty pistol then pick up an AR.

Definitely AR. All the other weapons are great in some area but the AR has no good use whatsoever.

The AR does not suck that bad. it has 2 uses. in a shotgun AR combo against flood, and plasma rifle AR combo for elites. wear down sheilds, then use AR and they die.

i would say that needlers suck, becuz it doesnt matter how accurate u are, small clips, and slow fire rate.

Needlers are way more effective against elites then AR's. Needlers kill elites so fast using only one clip on legendary. AR's suck against everything. Why bother using them against the flood when you have a shotgun?

Needlers are good in campaign but suck in Multiplayer.AR is crap in Campaign but alright in multiplayer, i still never pick it up.

lol true. i dont ever use the AR, i just think that the needler is worse, so i gave some possible uses for it. I always use a pistol, and for my second weapon i use whatever is handy at the time

Personally i find the pistol to be a great weapon, and no one can argue that, a good rof, alrite clip size, deadly accurate, and powerfull. It rules almost all the rest, and is great for sp. But when you croos over to mp, it begins to get a little too good. You can kill with 4 shots, from across most maps. Death to all!! While killing people is great, i dont like how powerfull it is. Being one who plays online a good amount of time, i loathe the pistol. The fact that its has the most powerfull/accurate ratio, and you start off with it 9 times out of 10, makes it very easy to use. And almost all the time it turns into a strafing back and forth, fire fight, at long distances. And it forces you to use it. Mabye the sniperrifle, or rocket launcher u can use, But even with the sniper rifle, if you dont get the drop on them, its useless. Your roaming with a shotgun, and begin to get fired on by a pistol, you have no choice but to switch to the pistol. Pistol, pistol, pistol. Always the friggin pistol. You always have to have it with you. A plasma rifle shotgun combo? Hell no. Without a pistol you have no chance, even in a stand still fire fight with and ar, or plasma rifle, the pistol will frag you.Its just too good. Ironicly it is the best, but that's its downfall. Making it far too unballenced. Hopefully the battle rifle is differnt, and better.

The best equilizer for Pistol lovers are game settings where you have to find it. This makes people a lot less deadlier after spawning and means that the person with better knowledge of the map can be more efficient.

As far as the worst weapon, its the AR. Would be a great gun if it wasn't as inaccurate as it is. Up close, aiming for the head, its not so bad. Great in combo with a Plasma Rifle, as it destroys a person's Health.

The AR is NOT the worst weapon. By far it's got to be the needler. 2 big needler flaws.
1- Firing rate is too slow
2- Even upon being shot with multiple needles, an enemy still has time to get off a grenade before dying.

At least with the AR I can mow down a squad of grunts and jackals, or cut an elite in two at close range.
What am I gonna do with a needler? Poke'em to death?
For gods sake my thumbs a more dangerous weapon.

Acually, one of the biggest issues I also find with the needler (to add on), is that you can only carry like 80 spare needles, which is nothing compared to the AR's 600 rounds.

Lol... they shouldn't ban the needler... I mean they said it has a fire power upgrade, and it looks like the needlers fly much faster (I would trade homing for faster flying needles any day).

well I didn't really mean ban it, I was just ranting. I actually like using the needler in multiplayer. Especially when someone gets too close to me to dodge away and I unload a clip into their face. God I love watching them convulce as each needle pops. :-)

AR is effective against the weaker enemies, jackals, grunts and infection forms. but pretty useless against everything else let alone in legendary. but why use it on the weaker enemies when other much more widely effective weapons can be used?

i only use it to make the game more difficult. against combat forms, hunters and elites it can make legendary so difficult.

In Multiplayer the worst weapon is the Needler, followed by the Plasma Pistol. All the other weapons can be used very well, yes, including the AR. The AR actually is a great weapon for up close battles, circling around an enemy spraying them with the AR is an easy way to score kills.

Ok to the guy who was putting down the pistol, it doesn't take 4 shots, it only takes 3... and the reason you don't like it in online play is cause people are better with it than you and own you, forcing you to have to use it. But just for the record you don't have to have a pistol to beat a pistol, it's called mastering different weapons and using strategy. There is a way to take out the pistol with every weapon, and yes I said EVERY weapon. If you can't do it and wanna nag about how much it's used then get better with it or learn how to take it out, I promise you, it's not that hard. If you wanna -blam!- about someone beating you cause of the pistol rest assured they would beat you if there was no pistol, because if they are better with the pistol, they will be better with other weapons cause they've had more practice, they're smarter, and just better than you so you'd still get owned even if there was no pistol.



Yeah, if you haven't noticed I hate noobs who put down the pistol cause they can't use it. There will be a new type of pistol in Halo 2, even though it may be the Battle Rifle it will have a similar effect and in online play and tournaments the pistol will be used number one, if you don't like it and can't hang, then shut your noob mouths and don't play, plain and simple.

personally I feel that there is no 'worst weapon' as they are all usefull but in different ways. if any one of the weapons was not brought forward to halo 2 i would be greatly dissapointed.

however the weapon tht i am least capable with is probably the s/rifle as my accuracy still blows (ne tips ? ). but in CQB im perdy good, if i do say so myself.

needler was a good weapon. in legendary its great for easy elite kills, Needler; one clip = one dead elite. AR; one clip = one mc in trouble + one marginally annoyed elite

AR is the worst pickup weapon in SP

Though the worst weapon in the whole game are the shade turrets. Has anyone been killed by one before, even on legendary?? They're more of a letdown than hunters.

I find firing in burts at medium range with the ar is pretty effective. The needler is to slow and in mp it is way to eays to dodge. The plasma pistol makes a good combo weapon but I prefer a single strong weapon. So i'ld say the worst one is either the plasma pistol or the needler.

I think the PP is the worst. The only thing it's good for is for getting rid of covie's sheilds.
