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?

They're crap in gameplay for balance. But if they were any good canonically we would see the flood defeated. Edit- Does anyone else find it stupid that the Prometheons weren't the solution to the flood infection. They have close range weaponry and combat use. They can't get infected. They can friggin teleport out of trouble and the light weapons means that the flood can't re assimilate the dead as they have simply disintegrated. You can argue, oh but there's not enough [just like how it was in the terminals]....when is there never enough in the Halo Universe in 343i universe. Or you can argue it's unethical to Humans. But consider that the forerunners solution was to wipe out all life and reseed it. What difference does it make? This is a gold mine and it'll just fly above our heads because something in canon will just magically say or won't say, that the flood was just unstoppable. Actually going back even further, what about the Super-Sentinels at Onyx? [Edited on 11.14.2012 7:15 AM PST]
