The most dangerous things at close range are Elites with [[Type-1 energy sword|Energy Sword]]s. From a distance, the player must also watch out for either [[Kig-Yar Sniper|Jackal Sniper]]s with [[Type-50 particle beam rifle|Beam]] [[Type-27 beam rifle|Rifle]]s or [[Crawler Snipe]]s, [[Soldier Sniper]]s, and/or [[Knight Lancer]]s with [[Z-750 binary rifle|Binary Rifle]]s. Grunts are still very easy to dispatch of and will more often than not run away in fear if the Elite or [[Jiralhanae|Brute]] leading them is killed, which is also fairly easy. [[Yanme'e|Drones]], [[Promethean Watcher]]s, [[Promethean Crawler]]s, and [[Kig-Yar|Jackals]] (with the exception of snipers for the latter two) are generally the second easiest to kill, even with their unique capabilities. Elites, Brutes, [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]], [[Promethean Soldier]]s, and [[Promethean Knight]]s are around the same overall in difficulty to kill. It mainly depends on a player's weaknesses as to which enemy is harder to kill. | The most dangerous things at close range are Elites with [[Type-1 energy sword|Energy Sword]]s.

When the player encounters the [[Flood]], | When the player encounters the [[Flood]], the biggest threats to consider are [[Combat Forms]] armed with [[M41 SPNKR|Rocket Launchers]] and [[M90 Shotgun|Shotguns]]. [[Plasma]] weapons can work well, but human weapons are preferred. The most effective weapon is the Energy Sword, which will kill a Combat Form in one hit. The second most effective is the Shotgun. The last most effective weapon is the [[Type-25 Spiker|Spiker]]. The Flood's unarmed attacks are not that worrying on their own, but if large groups attack the player or he/she gets hit from behind, then the player has an extremely high chance of being killed. | ||
Marine allies have their own strengths and weaknesses. They can quickly gun down Grunts and Jackals, but will easily get overwhelmed by Brutes and higher ranking Elites. This will require players to prioritize on fighting the stronger enemies while having the allies focus on the weaker enemies. | Marine allies have their own strengths and weaknesses.
