The booklet that comes with the game helped create this section. So if you
have the booklet, you basically have this already.


USNC GUNS
=========

Pistol
------
Your standard handgun. Nothing special. It's decent enough and will take out
some Brutes, but there are better options.

Submachine Gun (SMG)
--------------
Very good by itself, but even better when dual-wielded with another. With one
in each hand you will tear up enemies in no time.

Assault Rifle
-------------
The standard rifle. Not to be confused with the other rifle. This one does
not have a zoom, but it's still the solid gun of choice - you can't go wrong.

Battle Rifle
------------
This rifle is better than the last one, just with the zoom alone. It's also
stronger, but the flip side is that you can't carry a lot of ammo. It's a
good sniper rifle, and even decent up close.

Shotgun
-------
The gun of choice for close-quarters action. Great against the Flood.

Sniper Rifle
------------
The opposite of the Shotgun. This baby is supreme at long range, but it's
worthless up close, unless your aim is awesome. Don't forget that x2 zoom.

Rocket Launcher
---------------
Save the rockets for big targets. One-hit kill most of the time.

Spartan Laser
-------------
This thing is pretty good. You simply get the laser onto a target, hold down
the fire button, and then it fires a huge laser blast. Only good for five
shots, so make them count. And no, you don't have to stand still or hold it on
one point.


Covenant Weapons
================

Plasma Pistol
-------------
Eh, you can disable shields and stop moving vehicles, but I can only carry
two weapons with me. It might be a good multiplayer gun, but it has very little
use in the main game.

Plasma Rifle
------------
This gun is perhaps the best one-handed gun in the game. Even better if you
get two. They heat up after too much use, so fire in bursts. They could be
the best guns in the game in pairs, so get them when you can.

Brute Spiker
------------
One of the new additions. This gun takes the place of the Needler in the
dual-wielding department. It's not extremely powerful, but it's decent enough.
Most effective in pairs. The bullets will bounce off walls, in case your enemy
is around a corner. A solid fall-back gun if there is nothing else around.

Needler
-------
This gun has been nerfed a bit from the last game. It may be a bit stronger,
but you can only carry one, rather than dual-wield like you could in 2. It's
still better than a lot of the other guns. I could never find a good time to
use it over anything else during the main game.

Carbine
-------
The Battle Rifle of the Covenant. Not extremely powerful, but it is a decent
enough sniper rifle with the zoom.

Brute Shot
----------
Essentially a grenade launcher, but better because the grenades follow a
straight line; so it's more like a rocket launcher. It's not good at long
range, unless the enemy stands still for real long. A solid choice for semi-
close quarters. Don't get me wrong, it's not as strong as a rocket or grenade.

Beam Rifle
----------
Hard to find in the main game, but you'll find them on the higher difficulties.
It's just a Covenant version of the Sniper Rifle.

Fuel Rod Gun
------------
It's the Covenant equivalent to the rocket launchers here on earth. Almost the
same thing, really.

Energy Sword
------------
THE weapon for a close quarters fight. One hit and it's over, usually. When
you use it on the Flood there will be times when you are slashing at air.
Press RT for a charged attack, and B for a slash.

You actually don't need this during the main game, except in tight spots.
