I was just wondering, for each enemy in Halo, which weapon, or weapons, do you prefer to use?

For Grunt work, my favourite is the pistol for long range, easy to get headshots with em, but when I'm up close, I find the Assault Rifle is good for mowing down a group quickly.

For Jackal's, either using a plasma pistol on overcharge to disrupt their sheilds then a few normal shot's to finish them of, or I use a Sniper Rifle or Pistol to get the gap's in their shield's.

For Elites, I prefer the plasma rifle to take their sheild's down quickly and continually stun them so they can;t counter-attack. Or even better, the Sniper Rifles at long range.

For Hunter's it's either the Rocket Launcher, or the pistol, using the old "dodge and shoot em in the back" trick to get em down in one shot.

The Sentinels I prefer the Plasma Pistol and Rifle, takes them down very easily. Or if I have it, the Shotgun.

For the Flood, I use a combination of a Shotgun and Assault Rifle. The Shotgun is the best for this as it can take them down with one shot. Andf I use the Assault Rifle as it is resonably effective against them plus their is always plnety of ammo around in the Flood infested levels.

So what do yuo prefer to use for each enemy?

I use the Plasma rifle for elites, and the pistol for everything else.

I usually use the combination : human pistol + plasma pistol (works for everything) although I sometimes use the sniper and shotgun
