What weapon combos do you guys usually do? I personally like using the Sniper Rifle and Shotgun, and sometimes the pistol and the sniper rifle. So, what do you guys use? If you say Rocket Launcher and Sniper Rifle I will personly hunt you down and kill you while you're sleeping.

On Multi-player, I almost always have a pistol. It is unbelievably powerful considering its accuracy. I usually play CTF in BG 2v2 or 4v4; it's a rare occasion when you catch me without a pistol. I can usually improvise with my secondary gun, it changes so often that I can't really say there is one I use (2nd) most.

No its not spam. This guy is new, he doesnt know what has been discussed or whatnot.

The best combo is both pistols

You see, I did some research on this which took a few hours to do with all the testing and all. The pistol is best for infantry and the assault rifle is best for vehicals with the acception of the scorpion. That is if you are talking about damage. If I was to pick a ranging pair, I would pick sniper and shot or pistol and needler or p.pistol and p.rifle or r.launcher and a.rifle. Always remember ghost beats scorpion which beats warthog which beats ghost.

I have noticed the abudnance of the S2AM and the Shotgun. Well those may seem the best of their fields , long and short, but you have forgoten one thing. Medium. If someome who is smart, will rarely charge someone with a shotgun so the remain a distance where the the Shotgun is useless. Now you switch with to the S2AM well your screwed you can't shoot them because they are too close. All the while they are pounding you with the Pistol, AR, PR, or anyother medium range weapon. So to combat this, never ever ever get rid of the pistol unless you making flag runs in a hog.

Everyone is mentioning great combos, but you all forget one thing, grenades. I use Shotgun for short, pistol for long/medium, and grenade for just about everybody. When in doubt chuck a sticky...

pistol for every game MP and SP all difficulties, and for seconds i like either P.rifle takes down the shield in no time or S. rifle.

frags are so much better for just hucking quicker detonation and more damage unless a plasma sticks..

it really depends on the variables. gametype, map, etc. it also depends what's left over after the beginning rush for all the good weapons lol. if given a choice, i'll take a sniper and pistol, or shotgun and pistol. occasionally, i'll switch the shotgun for a rocket or plasma rifle.
