I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

You know what would be nice, If people stopped posting ten thousand favorite weapon polls.

I won't miss the MA5B at all. Talk about unreliable, the thing could only fire short bursts if you wanted accuracy, and spit out bullets faster then I could pull the trigger. I will love the new battle rifle.

The pistol is the one saving my butt cause the darn MA runs out of bullets cause of its inaccuracy and high fire rate. Its always the secondary gun doing the saving. As for a covie sniper rifle, yea I want one, cause i don't like the way the human one loooks to much.

Yeah and no one seems to lik the other covie weapons. The plasma pistol+AR rules against elites man! Even on legendary.

Both pistols do a lot better than plasma pistol/AR. Now it will probably be plasma pistol/ battle rifle.

No most of you saw the E3 demo video and it took like 3-4 shots to take down a grunt! And i think he was playing on easy too but thats just me.

The assault rifle is nothing without the malee. With the pistol being the best weapon on the game in which skill is involved, because the worst Halo player can kill you with a rocket, the pistol will be missed the most. In Halo the best combination on weapons was of course the pistol, with a shotgun or plasma rifle in shortrange games or with sniper or rockets in long range battles. I wont miss the assault rifle as much as I would miss meleeing people with it.

No i think he was just missing because it took one shot to wack a jackal. In my opinion the only good thing about the MA5b is you can always find ammo (marines, flood)

I doubt the pistol is gone. Everyone needs a sidearm.

I dont much like the pistol cause it does complete crap for you in legendary. It barely touches an elites shield and you can alert an entire room full of crack soldiers that your there.At least with the assault rifle you can take em out before that happens.

There should be a new pistol, I think it was mentioned in the First Strike.

That why i use pistol to take elite's shields out, then a head shot. It takes a clip to kill one elite with AR.

Not if you use the plasma pistol. You can overload one on an elite then finish him quick with the AR.

My bad when i said i would use pistol to take elite shields, i ment plasma pistol. M6D is crap against shields, unless you can get 3 head shots in a row, which is death. That is why i prefer pistol.

You dont get sniper on every level. Plus MA5B is useless against all flood except infection form.

I'll agree that shotgun is a great weapon, but for mass destruction i would choose human pistol and shotgun.
