Top five Halo 3 beta weapons

Sniper
Needler
Spartan Laser
Dual SMGs (try it on high ground, it really works)
Battle Rifle

IMO the chaingun loses almost everytime if you both see eachother at the same time. Rockets have no splash damage now either. Boo.

5)Assault Rifle
4)Carbine
3)Dual Plasma Guns
2)Dual Spikers
1)Shotgun (I prefer my close combat weapons to anything.)

5.dual SMGs
4.carbine
3.Spartan Laser
2.Shotgun
1.Sniper

1. Spike Grenades.
2. Spartan Lazer.
3. Assault Rifle.
4. Rocket Launcher.
5. Carbine.

Man, I love this game. Sometimes my wife tells me that I yell out "Hey fool, I tagged you with another spike grenade. I bet you like it don't you!"

Hmmmm...

Dual Spikers pwn everything! And I will take a Carbine any day over the Battle Rifle. The new Brute Shot is also a favorite.

I don't like the rockets now. They're way underpowerd. Rocket matches aren't near as fun as they used to be.

1)lazer - so satisfying to kill with w/ great death animations. Can't wait for the full theater mode so I can watch my kill's send enemies spinning

2)shotty - in your face biotch

3)needler - good for late at night when that tiredness starts to take a toll on hit percentage

4)carbine - don't leave the spawn without one

5)sniper - didn't see it comin

as a veteran keyboard/mouse and a noobie with online FPS on a console, the beefed up needler is a godsend.

Eh that list is way off. For one dual weilding only does a about 1/10th more damage. It only takes 3 more shots with a single wield spiker to get someone to no shield than it does with a duel wild, plus one can throw grenades, melee quicker and switch weapons quicker. If you don't believe me find a custom game and try it for yourself, dual wielding is useless, but you guys keep usin em and I'll keep pwned ya'll.

5) Shotgun
4) Spike Grenades
3) Battle Rifle
2) M6G Pistol
1) Assault Rifle

God there is nothing like that assault rifle, she has done me well and there's nothing like fraggin it oldschool.

Anticrawl

Lets C....

1 Boom Shot
2 Tourque Bow
3 Longshot
4 Grenades
5 Shotgun

Oh wait, what were we talking about?

Wow. Who cares? Are people so desperate for Halo 3 that this is now considered newsworthy?

@Anticrawl

That's strange, because every time I see a guy holding one gun, and I have dual spikers, I rip him to shreds. Shield or no, I win 9 times out of 10.

Obviously I haven't come across your lordship in the beta yet, but I'm pretty sure 2 spikers is much more effective than 1 spiker.

5. Shotgun
4. Spike Grenade
3. Carbine
2. LASER
1. sniper

also noob combo with spiker/SMG & plasma rifle is killer.

1.shotgun [blow them out off the game]

2.carbine
1.sniper (ultimate one shot pownage!!)

THE MA5C ASSAULT RIFLE IS ALL THAT YOU NEED !!

I feel naked without it. I can't count how many people I've killed with that thing. No matter what weapon I'm going through a certain "phase" with, I ALWAYS fall back on the assault rifle. And to be completely honest the game feels much more balanced and tactical when everyone is using an AR. In fact, that's the first game type I'm going to create when Halo 3 comes out. Assault Rifle's and Frags only. Damn I'm excited.

Also just to let all you guys know. If you're soo damn excited about Halo 3 that you can't contain yourself and your just dieying to know what happens.

I have the REAL full script and I know what happens. If you only want to know tidbits of info I don't blame you, so feel free to ask me any questions. Don't believe me? well let's just say the level names that our boys here at 360 Fanboy coughed up match the levels and storyline in the game script.

I've also figured out a bunch of Crazy metaphors and associations that Bungie has put in the game that will make you freak out with awe-inspiring face-melting goodness when I explain them to you.

I look forward to hearing from any Halo 3 fanatics such as myself.

Are you for real? And if so, then HOW DID YOU GET THAT? I don't want any spoilers I'm just curious as to how the heck you could get your hands on the script?!

I cancelled my preorder on it and put it on Mass Effect

I would be nothing but a newblike recruit if it weren't for these weapons bestowed upon me by God Himself:

5. Spike Grenades: I currently hold a perfect game of 25 grenade sticks on Slayer.

4. Carbine: A few well directed shot to the head, and it seems i have a kill.

3. Spartan Laser: Viewed as an unfair advantage. Well guess what? Damn right it is.

2. Brute Spiker: The most powerful melee force in the game. Put in the right hands while in close combat, it can be unstoppable.

1. Assault Rifle: Looking down in little brother SMG, this starting weapon has begun a revolution. It may seem weak, but both Bungie and I know, that it is in fact the best weapon in the entire game of Halo 3. Amen.

Thanks for not posting any spoilers here. I always buy the halo games for the single player and keep them for the multiplayer.

Also, I was wondering if anyone else noticed that grenades have been nerfed for halo 3. Now it seems that grenades only deal the correct amount of damage when the blow up directly under a person, and jumping seems to almost negate the fact that you were hit by a grenade all together. It's not a deal breaker, but I'll have to get use to this flaw just like I had to get use to no fall damage. No big deal.

@20

haha i want to see the link. not that i don't believe you, i just want to see.

I am now convinced......................................Halo 3 is for faggots that cant cut it in Gears Of War or Quake-Con.
Its official, U suck.

Before my list I'd just like to say I wish they would restore the Old needler so you can dual wield it.
And the SMG seems to be less of a bullet hose so I try not to use it as you generally get mowed down before you get half a clip off)
And what did they do to the brute shot, sometimes it can take all 12 shots to kill someone.

I hate snipers, that is not what Halo is about.

5. Needler (wish you could dual wield and sometimes the homing is ridiculously bad)

4. Spiker (sometimes the damage varies, not sure if it is Bungie or a glitch. Duel wield is over-powered always)

3. Battle Rifle (again sometimes it Kills someone really well and another time it can take several clips to the head)

2. Carbine (Generally very good sometimes overpowered at distance)

1. Assault Rifle (Good all round, but occassionally it takes an excessive amount of headshots to take someone down)

And I am not pulling a Master Chief, the power and accuracy of the weapons are changing all the time even with the Melee attacks. I hope it is Bungie, but I feel it is just the game glitching but it is only a beta.

According to Gamedaily Master Chief Dual Wields Brute Spiders.

See image on page 2 of the article

Kids prepare to be dissapointed. All light and mid weapons do the exact same amount of melee damage. Only the brute shot, sniper, rockets and spartan lazer to max melee that drains the shield in one hit. That said the others get it to where there is just a tiny bit of shield left. And trust me the plasma pistol does the same melee as the spiker. Any dipshit who's been in a custom game would know this, along with the fact that nearly all the dual wield's are pointless(cept stuff like plasma pistol and spiker/smg/pistol). The dual wield spikers only do more damage by 3 shots compared to the regular spiker. So if you single wield it you can throw grenades and melee quicker and it only takes 3 more shots to drain that shield.

No problem Bang bang. I have too much respect for Bungie, Halo and Halo Fans to just blurt out spoilers. But i must say you are in for one hell of a fuckin ride with Halo 3 ! More action than Arnold schwarzennegger with a chaingun while in the matrix fighting Chuck Norris in a UFC Octagon.... On crack. I'm being dead serious. Shit is going to hit the largest fan known to man when this masterpiece launches.

But in all honesty... It almost makes me deppressed sometimes to hear how many ppl are playing Halo for the multiplayer and not the campaign. To be honest, I could care less about multiplayer. Halo is a massive story with soo much depth and allusions to human history that the only reason you wouldn't enjoy it is because you're stupid... Which I'm sorry to say seems to be the majority of Halo Players.

With that said, these aren't really spoilers but if you would me to explain these historic links and coincidences than just say so and I'll spill them on these comments. (They don't effect the story, just some wicked-ass references that the geniuses at Bungie made for the more intelligent and and genuinely caring Halo Fan)

dual carbines and the brute shot are undeniably the best weapons. the brute shot works so much better and it holds more ammo now. but carbines are still where it's at.

1. M6G Pistol (teh best gun in the beta, owns a Battle Rifle)

2. Sniper (awsome)

3.Carbine (way better than the Battle Rifle)

i would say...

(5)bubble shield

(4)spartan laser

(3)spike grenade

(2)assault rifle

(1)m6g pistol
