I'm interested to see what weapons you guys prefer to use in Campaign mode. I know it's Human for me.

Human. Better against flood. And the Shotty can take out sheilds in 1-2 shots too.

I nulled, because they both have different usages and abilities. Covenant weapons tear through sheilds and human weapons have tremendous flesh damage. Well my favorite of the two groups are the carbine and the sniper.

Human weapons all the way

best against flood and flesh

Covenant weapons are way more powerful and have better aim,the AssaultRifle for example cant shoot thing's from far away because the bullets stray off,but the PlasmaRifle can keep a good straight line,The PlasmaPistol can take down the shield with one charged shot and then you just have to blast away for 1-2 seconds and he is down,the human pistol has it's advantages to though it can shoot from a long way's away but has to reload constantly and is not as powerful...

lol

Lol. Covenant = very good at taking down shields, all of them. bad at taking down health, all except 1 [FRG].

Human = alright/good at taking down shields, pistol = 2 shots to head. shotgun = 1 shot and dead. sniper = 1 shot anywhere taken down shield. very good at taking down health.

Therefor human wins on both sides

any human weapon is far better with a plasma weapon as a secondary weapon. the mixing makes for the best. i pick both.

Human weapons all the way. The only exception is the AR. I usually switch it for a PR cuz i like playing on legendary to get my skills up. But thats the ONLY exception.

I like the mix of both so that I can kill my enemies faster.

its the truth; i prefer more covenant weapons than human weapons. know why. well, in every game there's the stereotype weapons. machine gun, sault rifle, pistol... so on. but the covenant weapons are a different pace. also, i hoard my ammo, and i hate losing ammo, so its easier to just switch out used covenant weapons than holding back with human weapons

I like them both, but I prefer the Covnenant, unless it the Shotty for the Flood, or the M6D on Hunters.

I think the Human weapons are better, because they're the best against the Flood. Also, you can keep one weapon w/ reloading. You have to find another Covenant weapon when it depletes because you can't reload it.

For some reason, I find the PR better for killing flood. But human all the way, they've got shotguns, rocket launchers, magnums. But in a slightly unrelated matter, combining smg and PR is awesome in H2.
