Shotgun for sure, nothing is better at kicking flood ass

SAW. Large ammo drum, don't need to reload as often.

The Halo CE Shotgun.
Or the Pistol....

2000 words should never be the norm for a story. It's acceptable for the first few chapters, but after that chapters should be longer.

... Your right, 2,500-3,000 should be the norm.

For the Flood, pretty much any human weapon.

exept for the sniper rifle

4103476 No I think all stories after the first few chapters should be 3000+

any AOE weapon, preferably a shotgun (any halo) due to it's high damage capability. fully automatics work ok-ish but hold back in punch and the exchange of damage-range is unequal, leading to spending about 1/2 a mag on a single infected! other UNSC weapons I would use are the Magnum (M6D or M6H), DMR (M395), SAW (M739), or Railgun (ARC-920)

as for covenant weaponry my preference is a Plasma Repeater, Plasma Rifle, Brute Mauler, Carbine, or, everyone's favourite, the Needler! or Needle Rifle when at long range

My primary weapon against The Flood? A Covenant Supercarrier. Glass ALL of the things!

Damn effective, I will give you that, but all the fun of a zombie apocalypse gets ruined. Unless your an evil bastard who would laugh mechanically as they glassed have a continent for one small out break. Then I guess it would still be fun.

4127442 Wait... There's a reaction other than laughing maniacally when using vast quantities of superior firepower against a drastically underpowered foe?

Battle rifle while running like hell screaming blood for the blood god.

Good gun with a good plan, I like your style.

4128017 yes, chuckling, grinning, just regular laughing, neutral expression, imitating the Heavy from TF2 when firing his mini-gun, Shouting "I'm A FIRRN MAH LAZOR!!!" just as the weapons are firing, etc.

4125221 cso class? How about a whole fleet of them?

my choice of weapon against the flood would be a the HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I Prototype Armor Defense system

...Not a clue?

Squeeee,

Zecora

This story is fucking awesome

Finally figured it out. After many test runs on halo games featuring the flood, i choose the M6D magnum from Halo Combat Evolved.
