Theres flood on the second level when you play legendary!? I've only played normal....
(Looks at other posts) AND A SHOTGUN?!?! How different is the Legendary mode?
I don't know where you got that from, Halo (the level) doesn't have a shotty or Flood. I know that at least the latter doesn't come until 343 Guilty Spark.
For the actual question, pistols are strictly for multiplayer with graphic cards that cannot handle a lot of enemies in one room. Yes, plasma grenades are almost too easy; as Chewy said, a grunt or even an elite will run straight to his chums and give em some pain when he explodes, making it all the easier to finish them off (or stick them too). It works so well on them because they almost always have 2-4 plasma nades on their person--you never run out. If it were up to me, in Legendary I would say
Needler<Assault Rifle<Plasma Rifle<Plasma Pistol<Rocket Launcher<Sniper Rifle
This can definitely switch up totally based on various different situations, but that's how I'll usually decide which weapon to throw away and which to pick up.
On Flood (i.e. The Library), get a pistol and a shotgun. Shotty for close range, obviously (even on Legendary it takes no more than 2 hits max), and pistol for longer range--it takes four shots to down a warrior Flood and 2-3 to blow up a carrier, which can be very useful.
For sentinels--plasma pistols, easily.
