Halo 1 was almost perfect, but not quite. The assault rifle should have been more accurate, with a much smaller reticule so you could actually aim it. Actually, I like it this way. It is extremely powerful short range if you know how to use it, and moderate at medium range.
Basically, Halo 1's only problem was weapon variety. *ahem* The lack of variety is a good thing something, IMHO. I'd much rather have an even playing field than a bajillion weapons as we see today. No DMR vs Needle Rifle or Sniper vs Beam Rifle or the like where one is always slightly better in most if not all situations.
The sniper, pistol and rocket launcher were really the only useful weapons from a competitive standpoint.Shotgun for close range. Plasma pistol or Rifle for medium range, they stun enemies. Especially useful against vehicles when you can't hit the driver.
All the covenant weapons were next to useless. Stun abilities, and the Plasma pistol shoots fastest in the game in addition to removing Overshields. Needler is an excellent way to prevent shields from recharging.
These other weapons need to be brought up to speed with the current staples in the Halo: CE arsenal.You mean the weapons they added in Reach, rendering Halo: CE low-tech?
