When fighting the Flood, if I couldn't find a shottie, pistol, AR, or any nades, then I used the plasma rifle.
Which is never.
I used the needler in situations where there was an overwhelming amount of Elites to fight. Kill some Grunts, blow an Elite up with a needler - and you'll probably trigger some fallen grenades to blow up as well. Needler is very underrated, and so is the plasma rifle. The plasma rifle is fast has hell in Halo 1. 5x faster than the one in Halo 2. It does more damage too.
Let's get this straight, Covie weapons are DEFINITLEY not useless. They're just not as fun because firing metallic bullets feels, sounds, and looks better. Covie weapons are definitely better at knocking out shields, but once those shields are down - human weapons have the advantage.
That being said, I'll carry a human weapon around rather than a Covie weapon any time. Even if theres 15 bullets left in the AR, I will carry it with me.
