BeckoningZebra1 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Well, when I first started playing Halo 4, I really, really liked the DMR. It was dangerously precise in virtually any situation you could find yourself in. Then we got the first weapon tuning update which really changed things for me. The battle rifle became a 4 shot kill weapon and presented a 2 shot pummel ability. This, in my opinion, made the Battle Rifle the most versatile load out weapon in the game. The addition of sprint only furthers the effectiveness of this weapon and give the the player a higher chance and greater opportunity to limit his encounters strictly to medium and short range, making my choice by a long shot (no pun intended) the Battle Rifle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I_Make_Big_Boom Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Yeah for me it varies. I tend to use whatever's laying around, but the most used guns I've used were the DMR, and BR. Stopped using them since completing their commendations, and starting using the Carbine and Light Rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi1176 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I love the DMR, it's a nice looking gun and is very effective. Some honorable mentions: BR AR Plasma Pistol Magnum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rue Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I used to be a fan of the DMR, but the Light Rifle is totes my new fave Four shot kill bae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloodMaster Posted May 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I would also like to know what your favorite power weapon is. What are your strategies with it? I would also enjoy if you told me what you prefer to use in your loadouts. Just any information on that kind of stuff. Thanks again. -BattleMaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockGazm Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Battle Rifle, simply because of how good it is and the memories I have with it back in the Halo 2 days. I could go more into detail but I have already answered this question many times before from past threads, but those are the main two reasons as to why I love the BR.

FloodMaster Posted May 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I would like for everybody to reply. Thank you. If you could tell me what your favorite power weapon is, why, and what kind of weapons should be in the next game that would be great. Also give a comparison of all the weapons. Thanks.

BeckoningZebra1 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 If you could tell me what your favorite power weapon is, why, and what kind of weapons should be in the next game that would be great. Also give a comparison of all the weapons. Thanks. Well now, if we're talking Power Weapons, I'd have to say it depends on the map and gametype. If we're playing Team Slayer on Haven, give me the Saw all day. The Saw absolutely devastates players in close quarters. If we're playing Big Team on Ragnarok, I'm going to go with the Spartan Laser. The Spartan Laser is highly effective against vehicles, taking only one shot to destroy most. Also, if in a steady hand, it can really tear through players too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unease Peanut Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Beam rifle. A sniper Rifle that doesn't have to reload and a snapshot machine! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrhuntington Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 The Spiker... What?! It's a great Monkey weapon! Really, dual wield them and you'll see what I'm talking about. Now in Halo: Reach...not so much, but I still love it's design. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedStarRocket91 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 My 'favourite' weapon is kind of a tricky question, since the weapon that I personally most enjoy using isn't actually the same weapon that I consider to be the 'best' of the loadout weapons. Prior to the weapon tuning update, my favourite weapon was the DMR, which I also regarded as the 'best' loadout weapon at the time. It had the longest effective range, the fastest kill time of any of the precision weapons (or so I think - the Carbine might have been a little quicker), a large magazine, a powerful scope and fairly strong aim assist. It also had a great firing sound and generally just pretty powerful. The only thing I didn't like was that it was too dominant: you could easily gun down automatic users even at close range and it outperformed virtually all the other precision whether scoped or unscoped, so even though I was disappointed at my favourite gun becoming weaker I'm still glad they nerfed it because it makes the game feel a lot more balanced. Post-update, my favourite primary weapon is probably the Assault Rifle. Ever since Halo 2 came out I've been wishing for an automatic which felt as good as the Assault Rifle in Halo: CE, nd every time I've been disappointed. Halo 3's version was pretty good: it was reasonably powerful, fairly accurate and combined really well with the melee system, but it didn't feel like anything special and was almost always outclassed by the Battle Rifle, the Carbine or just dual-wielded SMGs or Plasma Rifles. The older model found in Reach was absolutely terrible, being weak, inaccurate, and horribly ineffective thanks to the removal of shield damage bleedthrough, and though the pre-update model in Halo 4 was a step in the right direction, it was still outclassed at anything above short range by the precision weapons and still only existed on even footing at close range, rather than having an actual advantage. But post-update, I love it. The sound design, muzzle flash, and thick metallic model all combined to make it look powerful anyway, but with the improved kill times and more controllable recoil it's become something truly satisfying: I'm fairly sure if you hit with every shot it's possible to kill two Spartans with a single magazine, and provided you manage your shots you can reliably hit stuff even out to medium range. The extra weapon skins from the Bullseye pack also look amazing: I have a particular fondness for the shark skin, though as I like to match my loadout skins I normally just use the gold-plated one. However, while it's now not just a good weapon but an excellent weapon, I don't really consider it to be the 'best' weapon in the loadouts as even though it has better range than before it's still just not versatile enough. Instead, it's still essentially a specialist weapon like the Lightrifle or the Plasma Pistol: it's much better than the average precision weapon when used at its correct range, but at anything other than that it's just not going to cut it. As a result, while I have it as a backup weapon on one of my loadouts, I still wouldn't consider using it as my sole primary during competitive gameplay. So as for the overall 'best' weapon, I'm going to say the Carbine. It has a good, powerful sound and a satisfying projectile which makes it fun to use, and some of the alternate skins are also pretty nice, so it just feels good to begin with. But what really elevates it above the Battle Rifle comes down to the fact that it kills very slightly faster (a tenth of a second or something), that it's projectiles don't spread so much, and that because you can pull the trigger more quickly it works better at long ranges against opponents using scopes on things like the DMR and Lightrifle. I think the Battle Rifle is more popular both because of nostalgia and because people tend to feel more comfortable using human weapons (and it might have a little bit more aim assist - not sure on this, but it does feel a little easier to aim), but for my money the Carbine is probably the best primary weapon in the loadouts right now. As for favourite power weapon - Shotgun all the way. It's horribly short ranged, fires slowly, doesn't hold much ammo, can't be deployed as effectively as older models thanks to larger, more open maps and faster movement, is crippling overspecialised, and is the single most satisfying weapon to use thanks to the cyclying animation after each shot and the firing sound. My God, that firing sound. 'Best' power weapon is the Incineration Cannon because it's stupidly overpowered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melody Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Halo 4 - Battle Rifle, Halo Reach - DMR, Halo 3 - Sniper Rifle, Halo 2 - Scarab Gun, Halo CE - Assault Rifle. That's my list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloodMaster Posted May 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 I always thought there should be a human welee weapon. It would be a power glove. One hit kill up close. Light weight. If there is more than one person, electricity spreads through them all, then kills them. Wouldn't that be awesome? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepertrent Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 I would have to say the needler because if you put enough into one guy they explode and they lock on, plus in the early years of halo you could duel wield! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepertrent Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I forgot about the scarab gun from halo 2...... OP! They should have one on every halo game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIWBC Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Okay so I've said this once and I'll say it again, my favourite weapon on Halo of all time is the Battle Rifle, this is because the tri-burst shots are freaking awesome they also are nice for finishing enemies off. One headshot on low health that's it for them. Also the Plasma Pistol is a pretty good gun. Which sounds weird but hear me out, it actually comes in surprisingly handy to take out shields and finish people off. It's also useful when trying to EMP a vehicle to stick it with a plasma grenade. Also the Golf Club, you can't deny that weapon is truly badass haha . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depressant Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 My favorite weapon of all is, and always will be....my trusty DMR. I love headshots, and the DMR is highly effective in all distances, and the sound.... Also, when taking out Elites, take their shields out and a simple DMR headshot ends their days. All hail the DMR! p.s. I like the DMR better in Halo Reach than in Halo 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primenight Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I personally prefer the assault rifle because of the easy damage in close quarters and the reload speed seems faster to me on it. But hey that's just how I play.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depressant Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I change my mind. It would probably depend on the map or distance. In long distance: DMR because it's very accurate and easy to make headshots In medium distance: Battle Rifle because it does a lot of damage when at a reasonable range In close distance: Shotgun be cause it's a 1-2 shot kill and easy to do, great to quickly kill enemies that are too close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Kittens and Gibberish Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 In all HALO games no matter what argument you give me... PLASMA PISTOL The Plasma Pistol is beastly over powered in Halo CE. Halo 2 duel Wielded Plasma pistols always did the job. Halo 3 same as 2 except it introduced EMPing. Halo Reach just cause. Halo 4 Combination of Charged Blast and Melee. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Favorite Power weapon Depends on what Map and Game type...over all would be either Sticky Detenator or Rail gun.

Iamevilord Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 It has to be the Light Rifle for me. I love the thing. It reloads quickly, has a lot of clips, can cause a lot of damage, has a scope, it's just a great weapon all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
