Pistol and plasma pistol. The pistol is the best weapon for mulitplayer, with rapid, semi-automatic fire, high accuracy, lethal head shots, and powerful bullets.
The plasma pistol is the best weapon for single player, because it can be charged, is especially potent against Covenant troops, and is easy to find (seemingly every Covenant Grunt/Jackal carries one).
As for the two worst weapons, they are the Assault Rifle and the Plasma Rifle.
The Assault Rifle is weak (a whole clip is needed for an Elite), inaccurite, runs out of ammo in a millisecond, and is hard to come by in single player, outside of the fact that you start with it in the beginning of almost every level.
The Plasma Rifle blows because, while it IS powerful, it gets overheated in about five seconds.
