Mines Got To Be The Sniper Rifle, I Almost Never Miss, And Always Get A Headshot.
I love the pistol though, and never miss with that either, but theres the shotgun, isnt it just great pumping a shot in someones face lol. And i like the pp, i can fire it faster than the plasma rifle, and it takes the same amount of shots to kill as the plasma rifle.

some people may think its stupid but the plasma pistol is the best weapon in the game for single player. rapid fire for elites and grunts, charge for jackels and gold elites(goldie locks with a plasma rifle or sword close range, gets a little dangereous)

I agree but none of my friends would. It also kicks ass in multiplayer

ya but you have to remember that with the Plasma Pistol when you shoot someone they move slowly and can not turn around to shoot you.

I voted for the rocket launcher, but the coolest thing I've ever done was taking down 3 covies with one shot of the sniper rifle. I was playing The Two Betrayals, making my way down the pyramid when a blue elite charged at me. Without thinking I pulled the trigger and shot him through the head. "Nice shot", I thought to myself as the elite collapsed. Then I saw that the shot that killed the elite also killed two grunts that I didn't even know were there! "An very nice shot!" It will forever be remembered as the luckiest shot I'll ever make.

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.

hehehe well the sniper is my fav. cuz I have jumped of cliffs and all kids of things and taken out targets, and all kinds of crazy things like that. But I'd have to admit that, although its not up here, grenades are awesome. I remember one time when I was playing a game with 7 other people (4v4) Their entire team just rushed me in a warthog, I triggered a grenade chucked it down a little hill (Blood gulch) near the red teleporter and blew them all sky high (including the hog), boy it was a nice sight to see. Then the lone ranger charged me with his plasma pistol and rifle and was just about to kill me when I stuck a grenade on his face smack dab where his nose was. He couldnt see jack and, well we're just lucky that appndages dont blast off cuz if they did, oh boy, it would have been a messy field.

I love the Rocket Launcher, not for those up close shots where people are thinking "I'm screwed!" but those really long distance shots that make people think "How is that possible?" and "Where the hell did that come from?".

I don't like the Rocket for close range battling as anyone can pull off that kinda kill. I go for those long shots on Sidewinder and Blood Gulch where they totally scare the crap outta people because the shot seems to come from nowhere.

Here's 3 stories of some crazy shots:
* I was playing Blood Gulch CTF (4 on 4). I was at the "Rocket Launcher Hill" and heading towards the enemies' base. I fired a calculated shot on the roof part of the base to see if I could take anyone out. I didn't take time to do the shot and I fired at a hole and not a "shield" (the general rule with Rockets is to aim at the feet or surroundings instead of people as you're more likely to cause damage). I forgot about it and just carried on advancing on the base. My team mate was already there and was on top of their base. Some guy came charging at him with a Shotgun but my Rocket just smashed into the enemy's face.

* I was on "Rocket Launcher Hills" in Sidewinder (4 vs 4 CTF) and I saw the enemy take the flag and kill my team mate (on my team mate's screen). I fired a judged Rocket their way and it actually hit the two players in the Warthog. It didn't flip or barrel roll, just pushed into the floor with the sheer power of the Rocket. Later on we were talking about the game and the player said he saw it a split second before the hit, but knew he couldn't avoid it.

* I was playing Team Slayer on Hang 'Em High and fired a Rocket to the other side of the room. I didn't think much of it as I didn't know if ther was anyone around. I nailed someone straight in the face with my Rocket, it was immense!

My fav's the shotgun, but I've taken 3 covies with the sniper before. With the pistol I've done quite a few headshots in a row, I felt like a serial killer. I've also caused awesome chain reactions by using an entire needler clip in 1 enemy. I havn't done much w/ the shotgun.

plasma pistol is noway underrated? i mean do you play halo? ok don't mean to flame you.
plasma pistol is good for talking out the SLOW tank because it removes the shieild. Also against warthogs! ghosts are really hard to hit. Also its a deadly combo with the pistol vs elites. Its fire rate is also REALLY FAST! Using the pistol does require skill! and i use it alot but don't love it!. I love every weapon exept the needler, i only use it for scaring of snipers or shooting people from the back since they explode!

I LOVE the sniper rifel i always jump around everywhere using it i also use it without scope alot. Really good weapon in close combat! I love jumping with it it's as if its easier to HS pople while jumping. I usually go for the 2x hit and 25% HS. deppends on the situation.


And in multiplayer you will nearly never hit someone with the plasma pistol from far away unless youre playing with n00bs! i mean you can just sit down it wont hit! also the plsma pistol only works when attacking someone from behind with never happens to me beacuse o the radar! so you have NO CHANCE!

When someones hidding behind those things on top of the bases in blood gulch i fire a shoot, with the rocket launcher. Then i scare them away with the pistol so they stay then BOOM! thyere DEAD!

Getting HS with the sniper isn't enything special if you don't do it when youre trying to then youre NORMALLY SCREWED. Unless youre playing blaming N00bs.

THE BEST WEAPONS COMBONATION I THINK ARE

#1-------SNIPER/SHOTGUN
#2-------SNIPER/PISTOL
#3-------ROCKET/PISTOL
#4-------ROCKET/SHOTGUN

IT ACTUALLY DEPENDS ON WHICH LEVEL U PLAY. IN MULTI-PLAYER ESPECIALLY BIG LEVELS EX(SIDEWINDER,BLOODGULTCH 1 AND 4 ARE THE BEST COMBOS BUT IN SMALLER LEVELS 3 AND 4 ARE BETTER BUT IM SURE U GUYS HAVEHERD THIS SO MANY TIMES BUT IM RELY BOARD AND THERES NOTHING TO DO AT WORK SO SRY U HAVE TO READ THIS KIND OF INFO AGAIN.

My favorite weapon is the shot gun and the coolest thing I ever done was in co-op. we were on the bridge on the Two Betrayals level. my friend couldn't see my green arrow, so I threw a flare. At the same time a flood jumped the brige right into my grenade and flew off over the bridge.

one time i was playing my friend on battle creek and i was one point away from winning. i threw the only frag i had at him and his health was at 3 bars. i overload my plasma pistol. he guns me down with an assault rifle, and as i die the overloaded round shoots at him and kills him, winning the game for me!
