for me its 100% without the darn plasma pistol, I’ve hated that darn thing from day one of Halo CE, I know and understand its a common vital/tactic to some Halo players (Noob combo) and I get that I could use that same tactic I just choose not too. I know it will be around forever and it probably should since its one of the few OG weapons… but man i hate it lol.
My go to weapon is the Sniper, even if I aim like a toddler trying to draw. I love it, the sound from the OG Sniper is one of my favorite sounds in the Haloverse.
whats your love/hate weapon
-edit
so far it seems the boltshot is the most common hated weapon, and the brute shot is pretty popular at least for a favored return!
Plasma rifle for me. I see your point about the plasma pistol, but it does have its uses, especially against vehicles. If they can limit the number of them on the map at a time (unlike Halo 4), then the plasma pistol is definitely a good tactical weapon. The plasma rifle is basically useless.

yeah I totally understand why it should/and will be in the future of Halo. I just loath the thing. I do think the plasma is pretty useless, but i do kinda like it. More so for the looks, kinda dumb reason to like a weapon
I could do without the plasma pistol. I hate when people use the noob combo, and I hate being repeatedly stunned in a vehicle until the guy can walk up and board me.
I would really like to see the grenade launcher from Reach come back. It was such a unique and versatile weapon. It could also stun vehicles, but it was harder than the plasma pistol and you had to be a lot more careful on how you used it because of the low ammo capacity.

Or maybe a combo of that and the sticky detonator from H4.
When you scope in, the gun switches to a sticky explosive that can be remotely detonated.
When firing from the hip, it does an area of effect emp like in reach.
Do with: CE Pistol/BR/DMR or similar weapon starts. My entire enjoyment of Halo, ever since CE, has been done with good starting weapons.
Do without: AR/SMG or similar weapon starts. I hated Halo 2 back when it was an SMG start, and I hated Halo 3 when it was an AR start. Thankfully both games had BR start become the norm. BR starts saved both those games imo.

I want the needle rifle back or the mauler, but the mauler would have to be beefed up a fair bit as it sucked.
I would be more than happy for the bolt shot not to be back, did not like that people could start with a shotgun style weapon.
The DMR, it has no place in halo 5. The Light Rifle does it’s job and better so what’s the point in having the DMR?
Carbine and Needler must be in halo 5, I didn’t start loving them till halo 4. H4 versions looked cooler than past versions. A 6sk Carbine in halo 5 would be perfect.
The plasma grenade. Im fine with the things, as long as they are extremely limited on the map (say 2-4 on the entire map). Im a big vehicle fan, so i always feel cheated when im driving around and then bam, some random dude sticks me. At least with the antivehicle weapons you can see which players have them and avoid them. Theres no way to tell if someone has plasmas.
