I think in Halo they should've made more weapons. not to get you wrong because the weapons are awesome but do you think they could've improved the weapons?

I like the Shotgun and Plasma rifle, or Plasma rifle and Pistol.
I voted for the Plasma rifle, there's a reason the elites use it.

Needler all the way! It has bad range, but like Sornos said, its a skill weapon. Whats really fun is gang shooting one person. once we did 5 on one, and we all unloaded. His body joined the warthog. see my forum post here

My reason for the shotgun is that it knocks the bigger flood on there behinds in a single shot. After which you can run up and hit them once or twice to make sure they dont get up again. That does get frutrating when they get up again.

This reminds me of one of Sarge Johnsons quotes during the last part of the jungle level before you get to the tower with 343 Guilty Spark. "Get up so I can kill you again."

The Shotgun's definitely my all time favorite. As much as I like the Pistol, the Shotgun has more style.

Probably the rocket launcher because it packs such a punch. I know for short distance shots it doesn't require skill, but for the longer shots, you really have to have good judgement. Also explosions are great and make very dramatic deaths.

Shotgun rules u all...remember everybody u need one short range weapon and one long range....lol...i like the pistol for long range and the shotgun for close up, its the only close range weapon that u can get one shot kills with.

I can wipe out pretty much everything with a plasma pistol, like squadrons of elites. Indeed, it is fun.

i don't know about you but i can fire the plasma pistol with 2 times faster than the plasma rifle on automatic when it's close to heating up. it is definetly the best weapon on legendary, it is the 2nd most powerful (if you can fire it as fast as me) and the second most accurate gun in the game-and on top of that it has a overload shot AND you need to fire 400 shots to finish it's energy cell AND it takes twice as less time to cool down than plasma rifle AND it is the most found weapon in the game!!!!! it's damned deadly if you know how to use it.

It all kinda depends. If it's Team Slayer we're playing, then I'm right at home in the gunner seat of the LAAG. If it's free-for-all, then I like the sniper rifle, with, usually, the rocket launcher as a secondary, or whatever I can find. I've learned to improvise.

ryankaplan i feel is right, i prefere the plasma pistol becuase its fast at both shooting and cooling. It a unigue weapon becuase it takes out shields in one hit and green ball slightly follows and enemy when charged up. When close up to the enemy, you can punch them at a fast rate unlike most othes e.g. human pistol. The bst way to use the plasma pistol is to use one hand holding the controller and moving about master cheif so he dont dies and with the other hand constantly tap on the trigger! its great! i'd mainly use this technique against the flood.

  • 05.30.2004 4:10 AM PDT

SB-117

And grenades! Plasma grenades are so much fun. Lob one on an elite and then chuck another on for good measure lol. Theyre also great upclose in multiplayer...
