The pistol is king, learn to use it and learn to use it well. I keep hearing about people talking about using the assault rifle. The only time you should ever use the assault rifle is when you’re at very close range and if you already have it out, otherwise keep the pistol out. The pistol is lethal across most of Blood Gulch, and with 3 head shots you drop an enemy. Trust me on this one no one can beat you if you get good with a pistol. I've always see people who run around with an assault rifle and get killed before they're in range by a pistol. To be brief about it, if you don't use a pistol or a sniper rifle at medium range you're -blam!-. The best guns in the game are the pistol, sniper rifle, rocket launcher, and shotgun. From time to time the plasma rifle proves itself but realistically on maps where you can see an enemy from long range the pistol cannot be beaten. Let the rebuttals begin...
