explination for weak promethian weapons here *spoillers*
I was always thinking these promethians are just going to wipe the floor with MC in the campaign with their light weapons. I really think ALL the light weapons should've been hitscan, cause it's LIGHT used as ammunition for crying out loud!
But I think there wasn't such a gap in weaponry as compared to UNSC was because the humans are ready to take the mantle now. They caught up to the forunners. I mean a simple nuke took out a WHOLE promethian ship damn it!But the hardlight shielding around MC could resist the nuke, so maybe if diadact was still controlling the ship and not fall off it like a noob, the ship would've survived lol.
So yeah humanity caught up and we can now fight on even terms in space and on land. Am I just NOW figuring this out or was this explained somewhere in the extended universe and I just missed it or something?

We didn't catch up, the Forerunners degraded and caught up with [i]us[/i] in reverse. What we've seen in-game of the Forerunners is the tip of the ice berg compared to the Warrior Servants. Even the original description for the Knights points out that they're much different from the legendary Warrior-Servants of the past. The Forerunners are dead, the Prometheans are the result of their fall, and they shouldn't be considered the same group. Though the nuke destroyed the Mantle's Approach because it blew up right next to the Composer mid-fire. Cortana even says that small shield protecting it would render the nuke useless.
