i saw the topic about the first reaction to the flood then i popped in halo and played 343 guilty sparks. I then proceeded to beat the game on legendary for the 4847474776th time. As i was watching the elite grab the african american man's butt i started to think, we wouldn't lose to the covenant if everyone had an 8 gauge pump shotgun. I went up to an elite and blasted the hell outa him with one shot, grunts can make any weapon a sniper rifle. I just wanted to see peoples thoughts on this

I refer to the Shotgun as "My Precious", the Rocket Launcher as "MY HAPPINESS" and the Sniper Rifle as "The Long Arm of Death". Just being random. Though I do think we would do a lot better if more marines used the Shotgun and Rocket Launcher or Sniper Rifle. The AR is good against grunts and the cabbages (infection level flood). Though I like to just use it against anything. When i have the choice between a Shotgun, Pistol, or AR, I take the AR and the Shotgun. Mostly because i like to go in close and leave mass carnage and mayhem in my wake. I leave it to my friends to clean up after me (or just keep running in SP) the only time i slow down is when there are sleeping grunts and hunters, or if my shield is depleted.

I prefer the sniper rifle and the shotgun. Or a pistol. Or a plasma pistol. Heck, I'll do it with any weapon, except the AR. I hate it. I mean, come on! We have better technology today then that piece of crap.

true except we can't shove a similar amount of ammo into a similar sized clip....

Give me a shotgun nothing will live. I just wish that their was a level that had 3-5 gold plasma saber elites attacking me when I have the shotgun. Best combo, would have to be either AR + Shotgun or pistol + shotgun. I would say the plasma pistol however if you have a shotty it becomes usless.

I'm a sniper by heart, I would choose Sniper+Pistol over Rocket Launcher+Shotgun anyday. Although it's fun to bring in the AR and shotgun occasionally and cause major damage to large groups of enemies, sniping is my game.
