Halo multiplayer sucks!

Based on campaigns

Halo 2 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo 3 > Reach/CE tied

Plasma rifle, in Halo 2 it is arguably the best multi purpose weapon. It's useful for laying into infantry at full auto, and at semi auto it is quite accurate over long ranges, and can be used to take out jackal snipers.

However, few things in Halo 2 are more fun than rampaging through Cairo Station with triple wield SMGs.

The Covie weapons got expanded on in H2, but the divine 3 (plasma pistol, plasma rifle, and needler) that were in Halo have lost their luster and versatility. Particularly the plasma pistol has been ravaged.

The rocket launcher's homing is really great, the BR is versatile, and the M6C is an actual sidearm, still retaining characteristics of CE pistol (clip size, rof). But the Shotgun is damn nerfed and I keep forgetting the sniper rifle exists (also, it no longer has a silenced effect).

isn't the ROF alot faster in Halo 2 compared to the M6D?

OT: M6C

This is a Reach account that I created the day they announced his name in a bnet weekly update. Any stats regarding ODST or Halo 3 are irrelevant. Also, Halo CE master race. Halo 1 > other halo games > other games.

The halo 2 pistol is garbage. Completely useless in almost all situations, but it does have a nice rate of fire. It's basically a bad version of the ODST pistol without the scope and silenced sound effect. The Halo 3 and Reach pistols are 5 shot kills and the CE pistol is a 3 shot kill (Halo 3 pistol is 3 shot when dual wielded). The CE pistol is the most accurate and reliable as well as filled the sandbox without being overpowered. Even though noobs in halo 2 and 3 who never even played CE multiplayer say it's overpowered, they are wrong. CE's sandbox were all better. The Hao 1 AR had the fastest rate of fire of any gun in the series, while the PR could slow an enemy down. I feel like I'm getting off track, but as far as usefulness + fun of the pistol the order is this:

Halo CE >>>>> Anniversary Multiplayer > Reach Beta > Halo Reach > Halo ODST > Halo 3 > Halo 2

Yes but the CE pistol also had a fast RoF.

Amen.

Ftfy

The ODST pistol had recoil, which makes it better than the lolReach magnum by a mile. The degree of control is what makes a pistol so great. In all honesty, I had to fire half the clip of the M6C to get a headshot. Rarely did I have to use only 1 or 2 bullets. Though the H3 pistol had crap RoF and no scope, it was very accurate and had really good range.

The Reach pistol has to be worst in feel (it sucks, it's lame, it's boring) but it could still be useful.

Games I like:,
Half-Minute Hero
MBU
Portal
Halo 3 is the best Halo ever
Maps I like: Turf, Avalanche, Pylon, Sandbox, Breakpoint and many more.

Brute Plasma Rifle: God I loved that thing.

BR-55: I always looked for one of these things on every single level.

M6C: Dual Wielding these equals alot of dead Grunts.

Brute Shot: Need I say more?

Shotgun: Sure it was nerfed but it still retained th 12 shot clip :D

My favorite weapon in Halo 2 was the Carbine; I just loved reloading it.

multi knows it, brute shot made a good alternative to the energy sword in uprising

"Living to smile, and not to succeed; smiling to inspire happiness, not to give the illusion you are happy; creativity and music to inspire smiling, which in turn inspires happiness; being nice to be happy, not for being perceived a good person."

Always those cheap ass pistols... They might have sucked, but you can't deny that they had style.

The Carbine was my favorite. Good RoF, but a little less useful at long range due to some accuracy problems.
