Which is the better multiplayer weapon. That is to say, which one kills the fastest. The Assault Rifle or the Plasma Rifle. If you aim for the head, I think they both kill at about the same speed but teh AR, I think (I may be wrong), is better than the Plasma Rifle for bodyshots. Can I get any confirmation?

well, the plasma rifle stuns, and it doesnt reload. the AR has a deadly close range shot, and is definatly good fro medium range too. I would have to say there is no winner here, because all of the weapons in halo 1 are equaly balanced in skill. for example, the plasma pistol sucks if you just tap the right trigger, but if you charge it, it takes down a full shield. the needler is weak, but has a small tracking feature, and if you get the right amount of needles stuck into someone, they will explode. I could go on, but i think ive proven my point.

I'll be quick and brief
-the AR shoots faster
-AR anywhere: 16 shots=kill
-PR head: 9 shots=kill / body: 15 shots=kill
-PR more accurate
-AR 60 bullets a clip
-PR can over heat after.......i'm not sure........over use
-AR has quicker melee
-PR stuns opponents
-Both guns become inaccurate after extended bursts of fire
=Both guns are balanced and either can win

That's about all i can be bothered to think about right now.

i think that they are equally effective against the flood, but the smg kicks ass against the covenant and brutes.

I think he's talking about Halo 1, not Halo 2.

plasma rifle, cause it stuns and it'll lead to a beatdown.
