i think the pistol would have to be the best weapon for halo because of its short long meduium range and it's bullets are very powerful

I think I would have to agree with the majority so far and say the pistol for all the above reasons... but that's what makes it bad as well.

When a weapon is developed in game that is too well rounded it kinda makes things... unfun. If the weapon designers did there job correctly (not saying it was done "incorrectly" just coulda used some more work) it would be very difficult for players to decide which weapon to choose over another.

But on the other hand, take out the pistol all together and things start to become slightly more balanced... or at least that's the way I look at it...

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.

I agree the Pistol is the best, but my favorite would have to be the Sniper Rifle. I've enjoyed snipes in every game I play and I prefer the further zoom with one shot kill capability.

Best weapon is the Pistol. Favorite weapon is another story. I'm a fan of the shotgun.

I use the pistol a lot though, and it's starting to grow on me.

I THINK THE BES GUN IS THE PISTOL BECAUSE ITS GOOD AT ALL RANGES.

I FAVOR THE PLASMA RIFLE BECAUSE ITS SO FUN TO CHASE PEOPLE WHILE SHOOTING THE PLASMA RIFLE BECAUSE THEY LIKE FREEZE UP AND THEN THEY CANT TURN AROUND. THEN SMACK THEM. FUN TIMES!!!

SHOT GUNS GREAT TOO THOUGH!

Favorive weapon, by far, is the MA-75B, now remeber, that ubersaurus-rex assualt rifle is from the long forgotten, but still alive in my heart, Marathon 2. So is was skimpy by eight bullet rounds, this came complete with a nade launcher, oh yeah!

Best weapon is the pistol indeed. Most fun weapon I guess the sniper. So giving a headshot, while someone is running. Most fun kill: got to be two. First killing someone with the flag, who is storming you with an AR (or a rocket launcher, only did that once, was cool though) what I like also very much. Killing someone with a plasma grenade and active camouflage. When they run towards you, run just passed them, they will turn around to fire at you, and then throw your plasma, or just get behind them when they dont see you, throw a plasma, see them keep running until they explode.

Favorite weapon...hmm, that's a tough choice.

I think I'm going to go with the plasma pistol for single-player, and the pistol for multiplayer. I like the plasma pistol for single-player because there's nothing like going around, charge-shooting -blam!-, and then punching them to finish the job. As for multiplayer, three head shots with a pistol always pisses everyone off. :)

I would have to go with A shotgun or what i call my "Boom Stick" and a plasma rifle use the PR to take out the shield and kill the guy with the Shotgun to the head but when playing against good people I use the Pistol and sniper rifle.

The shotgun would be my favirote, I pretty much do assault and its easier to have a one shot kill weapon. Sometimes I use the pistol for long range.

My favorite weapon is the M6D pistol, I'm a kick-ass sharpshooter and gunslinger

I like all human weapons, but the M6D is by far the best!!
