Close Range: Both are effectively the same thing, a combat knife. It all comes down to the user.

Mid Range: Edge: M90, as it is a very powerful weapon firing an 8-guage shell, capable of taking down a fully shield Elite or Brute at close ranges.

Long Range: From what I saw from Aliens, the pulse rifle shoots regular bullets like an assault rifle- they just used the name pulse rifle to sound sci-fi-ish. However, they did state that the M41A1 has grenade launcher attached, giving it the edge over the MA5C.

Special Weapons: The SRS-99 gets the edge in this, its 14.5mm round can take down even energy shielded opponents in one shot and can even knock out a Ghost "hovercycle" (in Halo 2, anyway) with a shot in the right place.

Overall Winner: ODST.
