What is your favorite weapon and why?

Pistol, you can kill anything with it, even someone in a shee. Three bullet headshots are amazing.

Sniper comes in second, I don't like it because of having 4 shots, then a slow reload. But, that's mainly because I play pop shot servers where you've got .02 seconds to live or kill everyone.

Yay. Like I haven't seen this thread before. :)

But I like the sniper rifle the most, as it is a precision weapon which requires skill and accuracy to use. (Sorry pistol.) The pistol comes in second.

Pistol definitely. I can pretty much take on 7-8 enemies with various skills at once with my trusty M6D Pistol, and a few magazines of .50 cal explosive pistol rounds. An I am not exaggerating, I encounter this kind of daredevil moment almost every time I play.

Sniper comes in second; just like dbzprogrammar said, it has only 4 bullets in one clip, and as a slow rate of fire. But yes, it is a precision fire weapon, which makes it very deadly in good hands. I've been getting quite good with this weapon myself lately, I headshotted a gunner in a warthog going at 55mph from half a map away two days ago. =D

Third...will have to be the LAAG Machine Gun. (Does it count as a weapon? It should.) Good firepower, good rate of fire, good accuracy for a machine gun (unlike the M249 Support Machine-Gun in CS, which makes makes a pistol look accurate), and a nice soothing sound. Works well on aircrafts and land-vehicles, and works extremely well on advancing infantry units. If you are the only one in the warthog, manning this machine gun, it can be a good supressing fire weapon, and help pin down the enemy for your advancing teammates.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Plasma rifle. It's more accurate than the AR at long range if you squeeze off single shots, and has a nifty freeze effect when you open up on approaching targets.

I've decided my best "support" combo is plasma pistol and sniper rifle. This way I can take down the enemy's shields and let my team chew them up, and I can also cover them from a distance as they approach the enemy base to cap a flag.

Sniper, the super overpowered weapon of the game, can kill anyone instantly at any range in a single shot.

I always run for the pistol and shottie, personally. While the Sniper is deadly in good hands, I'm a bit unsteady with my sniping and prefer the range of the pistol instead. The shottie is superbly versatile in close range, effective in taking down everything from hogs to shees to foot soldiers.

In high definition baby!

I just like the Flamethrower because it's funny to use when you burn people.

lol Halodeth. You like flames? I think you're about to receive more than your fair share. I like the flamethrower too. It looks kool.

Well, it is the banner for this forum! ;)

But anyway, pistol and sniper.

No signature found. Click here to change this.

Pistol or Shotgun.

A funny thing to do is to get an AI mod on a map, and a flamethrower.

Pistol, but only in single player. I prefer to use the AR in multi-player to show off my semi-1337 skillz.

I think the Maw banner should have shown a fuel rod gun, but now that I see it, the Maw just wouldn't be the Maw without a flamethrower with the jaws in the banner.

For me, it's the opposite, because the assault rifle sucks.

My favorite is the asault rifle. It's great for close range, and it can actualy be prety good for taking care of warthogs when used with a frag grenade. Flip the warthog with a grenade, the cut down the ex-ocupents with the asault rifle as while they have they're shields down and are trying to get they're bareings.

Were this Halo for XBOX I would say sniper rifle

But on PC, I'm going to have to say Rocket Launcher.

Make fun of me all you want (I suck with the pistol online), but there is something ridiculously fun about rocket whoring people too distracted to notice my super-weapon.

My favorite would have to be the rocket. Its just the easiest most user friendly gun. You barely have to now how to shoot or aim.

I think the charm of the SPNKr comes in picking off a hog's shields with a pistol mostly to draw their attention, then whipping out a rocket launcher and blasting their sorry ass into the sky as they jump the hill in a futile attempt to pancake you.
