I'm going to have to disagree with the plasma pistol being an "unskilled" weapon. It's not a spray and pray weapon, it's dead accurate, and the plasma bolts travel slowly (even more slowly than the ones from the plasma rifle) so you have to be good at prediction. It's affected quite a bit by gravity, so, if by some odd chance, you're using one at medium to long range, you have to take that into account. If you have a really low ping and a really fast trigger finger it can be more effective than anything else at close range. Not really online, because of ping, but if you LAN on Xbox it's worth getting good with the plasma pistol.Yes. Or you could just 3SK someone with the pistol, but that's just me. I'm not saying that the plasma pistol is totally useless and crappy, but you're better off with something else.
I think the needler deserves to be called the worst weapon in the game. It's underpowered, inaccurate, and useless when there are so many better weapons. As in, this weapon is so bad it doesn't matter how good you are unless you're playing against noobs.
In general, I think that the Covenant weapons tend to be more underwhelming than they should be. Except for the fuel rod gun. Actually, I think it takes some skill to use the FRG.
