What's the worst weapon in Halo, something that really gets you going? something you always -blam!- about? something you're always killed by? something one of your mates always uses? or just something you down right hate!

All the weapons have their uses. I voted for unlimited grenades since we never use this option and it sounds kinda lame.

The plasma pistol is so -blam!-e to respawn with when your tow metres away from two guys armed with shotguns and rocket launchers. You dont stand a flippen chance. I hate the plasma pistol in all environments. I actually quite like the plasma rifle but it is annoying getting frozen by it.
My other pet hate is the rocket launcher. My friend has been able to use it almost at point blank range for ages, and so i get so wasted when he has it. He is good allround, but i just hate the way he uses the rocket launcher in a way that seems so impossible.

Pistol. It's a noob weapon. *Sorry im may not say noob. Argh! I did it again!

  • 10.26.2004 8:57 AM PDT

The Needler. The delay between firing and actually causing damage is way too long for me. And when you use it long distance, I can't help but feel it's cheap, since they home in on targets. You could shoot just anywhere really and it would blow them up after a few seconds, I hate being on the receiving end.

If it's such a noob weapon, then how do you beat a noob that is using it?

People have a tendency to call things "noob" simply because they have no way to counter it.

THe only thing about the pistol is the zoom feature, which I think it shouldn't have. However, it takes some skill to use the pistol.

I voted Rocket Launcher, simply because it's the easiest and cheapest weapon. But the Plasma Rifle is definately the worst.

The Plasma Pistol rocks - I don't know why people vote for it, it's so uselefull in sneaking up on people and stopping their movement, and the chrge feature works good for taking away shields, followed by a melee it's a dangerous gun at close range.

The Needler is by far the hardest to use - especially at mid-to-long range. But it's fun and once you get it down it's very deadly!

The plasma pistol is the next best thing to the sniper rifle!!!!!
a charged shot to the sheilds and they redline and finish them off with a second charged shot

who was that to? lol, i'm confused, the PP rocks i think its great, but i do hate how the plasma rifle freezes so much. The rocket launcher is a good weapon, it takes skill to time proper shots from long distnaces, like at moving vehicles etc. but when its just used point blank suicidally, that is retarded.

Whats very annoying is when someone (who is skilled), is able to use it at point blank range without being suicidal. I have that problem my self, as my friend can do it.

Needler and Plasma Pistol are looking to win, or shall i say lose this. I love the PP, its great when used properly! And the needler is cool, it looks great, but can be a bit crap, especially when the needles explode just before hitting their target. I can't wait for the new ones! oh yeah!

i voted pistol.....yes it is a great weapon....but its a pistol! its way to powerful for a sidearm! and when someone gets a killingspree with a pistol?......i do know how to use it...but its too easy so i try and avoid it is much as i can having my Combo Plasma Rifle, Shotgun or Sniper Rifle.

still......its a good weapon in halo, but im glad theyve tweaked it down for halo2!
