dude, you pulled a jesus!

I usually use the AR for the first few levels, but after about the level Halo, the plasma rifle seems to be far more useful.

I love the AR and keep it with me always. As for you throwing down the MA5B, I supposed that the PR is more effective against the covenant. Is that why you use it more. I know that only the shotgun beats the AR against the flood. I use to carry both the AR and the PR.

Unlike you people, I use human weapons. I always stick to the same four - the AR, the pistol, the RL, and the SR.

youre all crazy. The assault rifle is the best thing since sliced covies!

Hmmm... considering that the PR lets you get in more melee kills... And eats up shields faster...

Of those two? I definitely use the PR more, I don't have to worry about the reload times if I have to sauce something, and it chews energy shields up quickly. And, it's a lot easier to replace then to find scarce ammo.

For close combat, SG and PR are best..
My preferred Combo is the SR and Pistol
Although a Pistol and an AR is a balanced combo as well.

I don't think I use the assault rifle at all until I'm forced to on 343 Guilty Spark and The Library. On the Pillar of Autumn I use the pistol to kill the first elite, and swap out the AR with its plasma rifle.

I respect your opinion, I'm probably just going to disagree with it.

I like the assault rifle, its cool, but the Plasma rifle is ultimately more useful, eats up Elite shields like I do bacon. Thats very fast, for those who dont know me.
I mean, on legendary, trying to take down a Zealot with an AR is futile, it requires almost 2 clips (this is without grenades) where as the plasma rifle or needler is much faster.

But AR is for grunts, definately.

u guys are forgetting that the plasma rifle is like the best gun for sentinels in both games. if there is a more abundant and usfull gun against them tell me.

i constantly find myself doing the same thing, i like how u do not have to reload when u use the pr, and i think it is more effective against enemies

I only use the AR versus the flood. Otherwise, the PR has a longer range, takes down shields, and can be replaced easily.

PR is also great for Multiplay.. it lets you get in so many melee kills..

Yeah, I was about to say if you guys are only talking about single player you're crazy because the PR destroys in Multi. The freeze effect along with quick shield drain is unstoppable in the right 1v1 situation, and double+ kills with the PR and melee = pure joy. In short, PR >>>>> AR in single and multiplayer. (IMO)

I use the AR only on normal and heroic. And I don't play on easy. And I don't like covenant weapons that much in Halo 1.

PR is mre useful

But AR is so much more bad a.ss.
I <3 AR

Played through legendary only using the AR for kills (as in if I was in a vehicle I didn't shoot or run anything over), man that was fun. Definatly a challenge.
