And so God called Moses to come forth but he came fifth and was therefore disqualified.

You want a sandwich? Sure. As long as you don't mind me putting poison in it.

Yeah. I use the AR, so what? All you can do is scream and rage about me using the weapon.

I'm going to go ahead and say the Sniper Rifle.
It pays to have a long range weapon with you.

Boltshot = mini shotgun

DMR.
It's not a power weapon, plus you spawn with the reverse order a lot in Halo (ex. SWAT).

In space, no one can see your shame. The utter beauty of the stars and galaxies will leave you lost in the desolate wasteland of rocks and dust, and that, children, is why astronauts are crazy people.
On a side note, I am a grammar & vocab-friendly guy. So don't assume I'm a smart ass if you get into a complex argument with me...

It doesn't really pay off when everyone else has it as well. It'll kind of leave the magnum sitting in the dust mostly because about half of the maps are long to mid range combat.

Not necessarily. Most people on huge maps tend to pitch a tent a camp and they expect you too do the same so you use the Magnum and do the exact opposite.
Plus, more often than not, one of your teammates will be taking most of the fire anyways for you too slip on by and attack them from behind.

the gun pointed at the head of the universe

weapon pick-ups on the map I suppose. no need for too much fire-power if you spawn with the god pistol. that or DMR.

Yeah, the Sniper is a good choice because it takes some skill to use against enemies with 110% speed/jump and Sprint AND a 3 shot kill Magnum. My only concern is that games on a map like Headlong would become too campy with everyone having a Sniper rather than a DMR or Shotgun secondary.
