I love the assault rifle, especially in the silent cartogropher. Plus it looks cool.

I have a lot o' love for both the sniper and plasma rifles, but usally go for the pistol first and shotgun second.

Assualt rife is my love can't go anywhere in SP or MP without it. Sniper is second. You can easily say pistol is better cause it's imbalance, but I think he meant which weapon is better for you. For me nothing compares to the "feel" of that rifle and I am deeply sadden they changed it, well that is until I play Halo 2 :D

Pistols have to be one of the best of those but i had to vote for the assault rifle just because it looks cool and hows a spartan sposed to mow down enemies with a pistol

I like the needler. It takes some getting used to, which apparently a lot of people don't have the patience for, but damn if it's not the best damn gun in the game.

well since the AR sprays like a -blam!-, the shotgun is useless at over 15 feet away, the needlers bullets can be easilly dodged, the plasma rifle is so limited, plasma pistol well not that great at any range other than point-blank, which leaves the sniper which is hard to aim so i have to give it to the pistol a machine of destruction

I actually asked myself this one day. So that whole day I did hours of testing for range, accuracy, ease of use and damage. I made all kinds of graphs and charts. Both on spartans, hogs, ghosts and scorps. I also tested the grenades. After all that testing, techniclly the pistol is best. One of my favorites is also the needler.

You forgot the rocket launcher. Needlers can't be dodged if your at a sertain distance. you can pull out your needler and shoot them like 6 or 7 times and they explode.

the pistol is TOO powerful for such a small gun. that is why i prefer the rocket lancher as it is huge makes things go boom and with some pratice you can hit anything and everything!!!!! or at least i can.
