This is always a tough one to answer, and I often avoid it, but today it deserves an answer (especially as I have been playing mostly H2 as of late and I miss its utility).
My favorite has to be that weapon that I could carry, and carry alone, and still complete the entire game. There is only one weapon that qualifies and that is the plasma pistol. With patience and skill, there is nothing that you cannot take out using a pp. Enemies, living or flood, vehicles, ground or airborne. All of them fall to the correctly used pp. What they did to the magnum and the pp in H2 was almost a crime! With the exception of the noob combo for elites (CS is impossible on Leg without it)the pp is pretty much useless. The magnum, well, everyone knows what they did there as it is one of the CE lovers biggest gripes about H2.
You can complete the entire game using just grenades, melee and pp's. It takes about 4 times as long, but it can be done. Those banshees are a pain in the butt, especially if you do not allow a chain gunner in your hog.
