Game Daily whipped together a list of what they think the top five
Halo 3 beta weapons are in their current state. Making the list at number five is the slightly less powerful Rocket Launcher with the Chaingun, Brute Spiker and Shotgun all making an appearance. And what's Game Daily's favorite
Halo 3 beta weapon that they feel has the most pwnability? Old trusty herself, the sniper rifle. Though, we can't help but notice that a few of our favorite weapons are absent from their list including the beefed up Needler, the punishing Spartan Laser and the good-in-any-situation Carbine. So, we can't help but disagree.
Now we ask you, fellow fanboys, what are your top five
Halo 3 beta weapons? Missile Pod need not apply.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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?!

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.

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.

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.
