Its always inevitable on the smaller maps such as longest or prisoner that you are gonna come face to face with someone and have to battle it out in a fury of bullets and butt strokes (no pun intended) the following is just a short method for some of the noobs out there who just pull out the MG and gun away... this is wrong, as fun as the machine gun may be, it is not a good idea to hold the trigger down unless you are NEXT to the person you are firing at. Short controlled bursts tend to work better, while at the same time giving you the chance to keep moderate distance and implement some evasive maneuvering. Now, most might not agree with me on this next point but try it for yourself, its either something that will work extremely well for you or not well at all do to the fact you are a stoner with poor depth perception. (No offense to the halostoners, but you guys go down quicker than paris.)
When you encounter an enemy your best bet (if he is too close to pistol of course) is to charge that little green plasma pistol and blast his shield off, then close distance to the target while firing bursts from the MG, and finally when he is within in striking distance...POP...melee him right in the dome. the melee attack will take atleast 5 bars directly from the health (6 if you are lucky) so usually if you catch them with a burst or two, it will take them down enough so the melee will end them.
Another method depending on the weapon settings of the match is the plasma/shotgun combo...it should be self explanitory how this would work, but if you are clueless here ya go, Take down the shield with the plasma rifle or pistol ( rifle is better because it slows down the target and they cant react as fast) then close distance and BLAM...paint the walls with him... I hope this helps some people, and for those of you that think i am flawed i will be happy to demonstrate how well it works when halo 2 comes out and i see you on live...until then...Happy hunting.
