When a weapon is developed in game that is too well rounded it kinda makes things... unfun.
Indeed. The pistol is the weapon of veterans, and if used well enough can take down anything on a map, even from yards and yards away. It is, however, the bane of inexperienced players, (who some may call ***bies). They dislike the weapon. They find it unfair, just as they find banshees in multiplayer games unfair, and they declare an avid pistol user a 'cheater,' because the weapon is too good, and it was even a bigger powerhouse in the Xbox version.
Although I do admit that the pistol is, by far, the best weapon in the game, my favorite has to be either the 'spanker' or the M90. The rocket launcher makes for some of the best games...ever, and the M90 is almost as fun, killing in one hit in some cases.
In fact, the weekend before last was one of the most fun in recent memory solely because of the Halo gametypes my friends and I used. Nothing better than 4 people with 400% shields, rockets only, on prisoner. And 50% health, no shields, shotties on longest was a close second.
To conclude, I do agree with most of the posters here that the M6D is the best weapon, and sometimes a very fun one, but I must, however, disagree on the fact that it's the most enjoyable. That title goes to the Rocket Launcher.
