Firstly: How would you know, you dont live 200 years from now.
Secondly: It is the gameplay that matters, not the weapons skin, without the pistol halo pc would suck.

I rpefer sniper but the pistol DID make halo.

Firstly, the pistol is a 12.7 mm (.50 cal). That means it fires a damn big bullet. Not only that but the bullet has a small amount of high explosive, so not only will it punch a whole straight through your head, but it will blast a crater in it as well. You try walking away from something like that.

Still, he's right. It's not so much that the pistol is overpowered, but rather, the assault rifle is too weak. The assault rifle followed form, but not function. It looked like a badass weapon, sounded like danger, but performed like a popgun used as a last-resort, and vice versa with the pistol.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

Sniper rifle is by far the most powerful weapon in the game.

Nothing beats the pistol and frag combo though.

Getting pure pistols kills is the most satisfying and challenging though.

I use two combos P PP & SH SN Because I can fire a charged shot into a group of covies and use the P to mop the rest up. With the SH SN I can have the upper hand on short and long distences.

Though the assault rifle is underpowered, i find myself with a profound liking to it... When I head out I usually have a combo of the Pistol and the Assault rifle. I'm actually pretty good with the assault rifle, as it lasts longer when firing (if fired in staggered bursts) than a pistol; countless times me and an enemy have wasted entire clips of pistol firing at eachother, and while he switches to his secondary weapon (rather than wait for a reload) and pulls out a sniper, I pull out an assault rifle. When moving quickly in close quarters, guess who wins. I did.

So, here's my favourite set of weapons to walk around with:

1) MA5B and M6D--good for assaults and offensive strategies.
2) M90 and M6D--good for defense, especially inside bases like Blood Gulch.
3) Sniper Rifle and Needler--for long range shoot-and-relocate sniping

He speaks the truth. The AR is pretty good as it is. I don't mind the current power of the AR, I just don't like it's horrible accuracy. If Bungie paid more attention, and fixed that...but I don't mind.

3) Sniper Rifle and Needler--for long range shoot-and-relocate sniping

This should be done by every good, and stealthy HaloPC sniper. But, they jump around like rabbits-on-crack, out in the open, trying to strafe-snipe someone...pathetic...

The sniper rifle, because it's fun to no-scope stupid people trying to melee your teammates with the flag. :)

Well, I'm more of a close range defensive type of person. So I use the flamethrower a lot. but the most effective combo that's worked for me is the plasma pistol/photgun combo. Works well on eveything besides a shee. Actually, the plasma pistol/anything works for me.

  • 01.23.2007 11:23 AM PDT

Halo 3, which will feature both the battle rifle and the assault rifle (not to mention the assault rifle's changes, and all the new weapons) will present an interesting set of new tactics and weapon choices, and at the same time deleting previous ones (ie. the plasma pistol/battle rifle combo is probably toned down quite a bit)

My fav weapon is what I have, since it's better than nothing. But if given an option, I always go with Pistol and RL.

They should remove the sniper rifle from the game when Bungie makes the next patch for Halo PC. Damn, that weapon is so cheap. It can kill someone from across the map with one bullet, what kind of weapon is that? Anybody can use it, it's so noobish. And those pistol whores, God!

I guess someones skill in halo PC can often choose a players weapons for them.

  • 01.23.2007 4:39 PM PDT

He'res a couple more weapon combos and their respective strategies.

1) Fuel Rod Cannon and Sniper Rifle--best used for a Supportive roll, covering your teammantes from afar with anti-infantry and anti-vehicular capabilities.

2) Flamethrower and M6D--Perfect for tight enclosed spaces like tunnels and hallways. This differs from the shotgun combo because it lets you take on multiple targets at once. Also protects you from snipers (flame wall)

definatly the plasma rifle because it makes the shield go away fast , then you can finish the enemy with an human weapon

I don't use heavy weapons because thats making you look a noob

Shotgun by far im almost unbeatable with it at close range, the sniper is at close second. For the latest Halo CE maps I really like the Assault riffle. When I'll get Halo 2, the sword is going to be my favorite.
