Things I've found for multiplayer:
As pistol was by far the best mid ranged gun in halo1, it no longer is for Halo 2 due to lack of strength and more importantly, the lack of the zooming feature. On any map (such as Coagulation) when you think you'll be needing a mid ranged gun, the battle rifle, I've found, is the pistol's new replacement. It's just about the only gun that can zoom to a decent level and still not suck much. I find its weakness to be frusterating though as it takes about 4-5 direct hits to the head (full shields) to kill somone. 3 shots per trigger pull and thats 12-15 bullets per kill. Really not ammo efficient by any means, but it will do.

long ranged=human sniper (covanent beam I am not a fan of. Overheat takes a lot of getting used to), rocket launcher in some cases.
short: shotgun, SMG(as long as it is dual wielded with something capable of doing a lot of damage/taking down shields fast), and possibly the brute shot.
Any other preferances?

PS: In most cases, I would avoid the lock on thing for the rocket launcher. It is very easily dodged. Stick to the old method of shooting where your enemy is moving towards.
