Thats becuse you think that all weapons have the same function. You can't go charging in with a PP and kill things. It's a stratigic weapon, use the pistol to get rid of sheilds, then bust a cap in there ass.

Even though the Assult Rifle really REALLY sucks, I like it. The shape of it and the desighn is just perfect. It's even better after you mod in some shaders.


LoL, since when did the assault rifle suck? Excluding heavies it the second best close range weapon, and is better than the shotty when at a little more than close range.

Oh and about the sniper rifle being close range.

In Counter strike Source, the only truly accurate weapon is the one shot kill sniper. It is the most accurate longest range and most powerful gun, and is used at all ranges, even very close range, much like the sniper in halo. It is commonly called the awp/awm. The Arctic Warfare Magnum. The reason that it is used in every situation is because no gun can beat it, if you aim at the corner and wait, you kill. There is no "pistol" balance for it, and unlike CS1.6, all the rifles are inaccurate, and the steyr scout sniper is absolutely outrageuos when it comes to accuracy. Anyway....

Ironically, though the assault rifle had the form and the intended function of being that important weapon you'll be using all the time, the pistol took that position. The assault rifle is a back up weapon and the pistol is what you'll be carrying most of the time.

The only thing an assault rifle is good for is its quick melee.

Yeah that's what puzzles me. While all other FPS games have their "primary" weapons as the standard, but useful-in-all-situations Assault rifles, such as CS, with their M4A1/AK47, Starship Troopers, with their Morita Mark2 AR, Starcraft and the Terran Marines, with their standard Gauss rifles, Gears of War, with their AR with chainsaw-bayonet, etc. Halo doesn't seem to follow their priority. Well maybe in campaign the AR is useful, but not much in multiplayer. Halo2 follows that rule though, with their BR55 Battle Rifle.

I must disagree. I actually keep an AR close because when your having a firefight with a pistol, usually when you run out of ammo both of you end up looking at each other and reloading or maniacly attempting to melee. If its ever close range and I see that I've taken out their shields, i whip out the AR and give 'em a mouthfull of bullets. They never see it coming.

The assault rifle is good as a back up weapon, but I'd pick a pistol over it anyday.

The needler. Fun... but I don't use it much because it leaves me vulnerable.

I also like the PP because I can use the pro combo. PP + Pistol = <3.

When you think about it, the pistol and the sniper rifle are quite the same, it's just that the sniper rifle is an extremer version that gives bigger penalties and is less forgiving than the pistol but at the same time more powerful.

QFT. The pistol is just the poor man's sniper. :D
I actually prefer the AR most of the time over the shotty, and I prefer the PR over both. On Xbox LAN, I'll take the PP over any of those three, because you can shoot it quite a bit faster than the PR, and each shot does the same amount of damage. On PC, it's not so easy to shoot it as quickly.

Best weapon: Pistol or sniper
Most fun: Plasma rifle or needler (come on, who doesn't like pink explosions)

emm, the plasma rifle does more damage than the plasma pistol, not the same. Also, non-charged pp shots have less homing than PR shots.

  • 01.04.2007 12:13 PM PDT

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

You know, most of the people posting in this thread will look at me like a freak or the type, but to tell you the truth, the Assault Rifle is my first option, and a very effective one indeed.

Okay, nothing to see here guys. Moving on.

[EDIT]

The pistol was overdone with good accuracy, 12-round clip, good ammount of extra ammunition, a scope, silenced within 10-meter radius, and a fast shooter. Enough to say, Bungie exagerated with the pistol.

No. Don't believe me? Go test it for yourself. Both guns take the exact same amount of shots to kill. Trust me, I have done tests on this stuff for both Halo 1 and Halo 2. Plasma pistol shots are also dead accurate, whereas plasma rifle shots are not, no matter how you shoot it (auto or semi-auto). The only reason the plasma rifle is better online is because the plasma bolts travel faster. The plasma pistol is greatly affected by gravity at long range, and I imagine the plasma rifle is too, but it doesn't travel very far.

Sniper rifle. I mean really, what other weapon can kill in 1 shot from across the map and from 1 foot in front of you?

Actually, the Halo2 version of the PP is ridiculously overpowered. Fine, not overpowered, but it homes in so accurately, the enemy can't even dodge it. This is what influences the "noob-combo" in Halo 2: PP + Battle Rifle/Magnum

Um, wrong. I'm pretty sure you don't realize that charging up the plasma pistol by holding the trigger fires a bolt which takes out somebody's entire shield. Au contraire, the plasma pistol sucked in the first game. And I could not read that last sentence at all. The assault rifle is in Halo 2. You just call it the SMG, is all.

If at first you don't succeed, find out if the loser gets anything.

Sniper rifles are the best because it's so fun to watch people hunt for you after you've killed them.

Oh my God another Nessie. Hopefully this one is more related to the famous creature living at the bottom of the lake.
