I use the plasma pistol the most if you can belive it. It makes single player alot easier for me. What weapon do you use most?

i definetly use the pistol the most because it is so powerful and you can scope. No one can touch me when ive got one!

  • 10.23.2004 10:41 AM PDT

Plasma rifle, freezing ability. Then melee. Only problem is overheating and in single player that can cost you. But if that happens I hide or revert to grenades.

same here, altho i usually combo with an AR or pistol so that I can whip that out and cause some damage while the rifle cools. saying that ive found the PR less reliable as ive gone on in legendary. these days i prefer to choose my moments and plasma nade the elites in my way and ar the grunts or jackals.

Your basic pistol and assault rifle combination, although, i do like the pistol a lot and use the good ole trusty shotgun in the flood levels.

Pistol and plasma rifle/pistol, early levels (before the flood). Then the shotgun and the plasma rifle. I use the Rocket Launcher whenever I can.

Pistol. Good rate of fire, one hit kills Grunts, Jackels, Hunters and Flood (When used properly even on Legendary). It's by far the most useful due to the scope, and an Elite at distance doesn't stand a chance, though for close encounters I'd go for a Plasma Rifle/Pistol (Plasma Pistol mainly due to the stun), and then cap them with a Pistol. Also great against Banshees.

Having said that, you need the Shotgun against the Flood in an indoor enviroment, as the Pistol will surfice outside.

Weapon choice is relevant depending on the situation at hand...

I like using the plasma pistol because of it being powerful taking down the elites shield. and those jackals shields

  • 10.24.2004 8:35 AM PDT

The Plasma Rifle is the best. Works on all the enemies. The pistol is useless against Elites (unless you're playing on Heroic or something weak like that!). The needler is great for long-range against elites.

See, the problem with this poll is that a lot of weapons aren't available for most of the game.

Shotgun and rocket launcher are only in a handful of levels. Rocket launchers have even fewer levels where you can consistently carry ammo for them. Ditto sniper rifles.

Anyway, my choice goes, for the entire game... plasma rifle. It's a good all-around weapon and on legendary, much more effective than the AR.

On the early levels, I typically pair it with a pistol or sniper.
In the later levels... shotgun.
