Battle rifle = this weapon deserves a monument.

[lans]

What do you think?

Is it like the best weapon ever or not?

 

[Burn]

No the best weapon ever is the sen beam.

 

[Dalamari]

Yes, for sure the best weapon ever, just use some well placed head shots and insta kill.

 

[Cerpin]

Damn I miss the NO SHIELDS option from Halo.

 

[Zeus]

Dual smgs= best

 

[destrukt]

it's pretty damn good.

can't go wrong with a battle rifle and sword.

 

[CrazyHarij]

Yeah, I love it. The looks, the sound, the damage. By the way, how do you change the ROF on it? I can only shoot in bursts

I like the Covenant Carbine alot, it's abit harder to use with the insta-beam thingies, but if you time your shots and aim at the right spots it becomes a very deadly weapon.

 

[Hood]

Dual SMG's and shield = best.

 

[Sparta]

Dual Plasma Rifles = oooooh mama

 

[DarkStar]

Gotta say the Battle Rifile is my favorite too. At least in SP.....

 

[Foxtrot]

Dual plasma rifles own, I just got back from a LAN party and I went 27-2 on midship dual weilding those bests.

 

[Biscuit]

My favorites have got to be the Covenant Carbine and Battle Rifle. The rifle tears through the flood and sentinals, and the carbine takes care of most everything else.

 

[Ryjalon5k]

The battle rifle rocks, i played a 4v1 against my family, i won 100-13, using the battle rifle most of the time.

 

[AmishSlayer]

No way. Best combo I can run with is Plasma Rifle and human pistol dual wielding. That'll drop the opposition quick.

 

[disruptioN_]

Battle Rifle is mega sexy.

 

[<RJMC>]

I dont use batle rifle so much but I know is very powerfull

but I prefer the design of the old Halo1 rifle

 

[Triggerhappy41]

I can drop someone really quick using the obvious combo, plasma pistol and smg. That is, IF the charged pistol hits them.

I also like a human pistol and smg, if I can get a lock on someones head, they will die very soon.

yep thats the best combo if the charged pistol hit your enemy

I think all the disagreement in this thread just goes to show how well-balanced the weapons in Halo 2 really are. There's no one weapon that completely overpowers everything else. Different people have different strategies and combinations that work best for them. Good job Bungie!

 

[Mac Daddy]

i like the battle rifle because its good for accuracy and power much better than the halo 1 rifle (if you could call it that).

Sword Don't have it out all the time, keep it as secondary and when they're close enough just switch and press R. Simple as that. And if you have the shotgun too, nobody can blast you as you charge them.

They did do a much better job at equalising the weapons in this game.

 

[AmishSlayer]

Agreed. The pistol was godly in Halo. I always played with just my friends for the most part with human weapons only...so there were 3 weapons we used - Pistol, Shotgun, Sniper rifle. We never busted out the assault rifle unless we were out of ammo and we don't like rocket launcher whores so we all pretty much agreed that rocket launchers aren't used.

In Halo 2 with my friends we'll probably outlaw the rocket launcher again and maybe the sword. We all like to play on an even field with no weapons that are inherently more powerful than others.

 

[Prone]

On Ivory Towers, there are too many RPG whores now...I like to assasinate them with the sword from behind or stick a plasma grenade on them

I still like the assault rifle more than the battle rifle. My favs are dual smgs or fully charged plasma pistol and smg though

The weapons are pretty well balanced, I agree...

 

[Sparta]

Is there anyway to be able to pick what map you play on? because i sure as hell don't want to play another game of CTF or Multi-bomb on Waterworks

Can't you rule out different maps by using the "Game Setup" when you joined? There is "Start Game" (starting the count-down) and "Game Setup" where you can pick the game type and other things...

I can't try it here, will have to do it when I'm home.

 

[lans]

"Dual Combos" are not weapons.

In that case, dual battle rifles (if that was possible) would pwn everything in eternity. :farmer:

 

[Mac Daddy]

i personally think the covenant carbine is a better weapon but that is just my opinion.

just playing on live and it was pretty gay only playing teamball on sum small as level with sum guy who wouldnt give up the sword until i made him.

 

[destrukt]

Dual Plasma Rifles = oooooh mama

dual brute plasma rifles :thumbs:

 

[Mac Daddy]

dual brute plasma rifles are mad but they overheat in about 3 seconds.

 

[lans]

Best dual weaponary - dual needlers.

Dunno, but they rock.

 

[<RJMC>]

dual brute plasma rifles :thumbs:

I dont know that weapon

 

[NSPIRE]

by far the best weapon(s) in the game are the dual needlers... alone, one needler blows major dick, but dual needlers and f^ckin' amazingly good. try it, you'll see!

 

[gh0st]

the best combo is the magnum or whatever pistol it is + smg. deadly

 

[Foxtrot]

Yup, magnum effing owns. Also, the magnum and a plasma pistol kicks lots of ass too.
