It is funny to think that the covanent has 3 useable wepons, all of which, except pp if used carefully, suck.
the needler-doesn't follow well and makes me mad when all of them follow one dude instead of different grunts
PP-only good when charged, then swich to pistol
PR- decent, not good once shields are down, which doesn't matter alot considering 2/3 of the enemies are shieldless, grunts, jackals, flood, hunter,ect
I think you'll find that plasma weapons are infinitely useful on all difficulties, although I tend not to use them, what with human weapons being cooler and all. I agree that the Needler is fairly useless, but the Plasma Pistol is handy for taking down all sorts of enemies, what with the tracking of the charged shot and all. The Plasma Rifle has good automatic and burst fire, and does a considerable amount of damage.
