Pistol for multiplayer, and plasma pistol for single player.
I am a huge pistol -blam!- in MP, because it's got a sight, reloads quickly, is semi-automatic, accurate, and is powerful. I love taking out people with sniper rifles with it (much "WTF?" usually ensues).
The plasma pistol rules in SP. Plasma weapons are more powerful than human weapons against the Covenant, first of all. Secondly, it can be charged to take down shields, and then it can be semi-automatically fired to finish the enemy off. Third, it is great against Jackals (unlike the Needler and Assault Rifle). Finally, it is easy to find another one, since nearly every enemy carries one.
