 * Close Range- the Elite. The Energy Sword is just a less powerful knock-off Lightsaber, and while it runs a relativly short battery life, it doesn't need to be out long to be a take-down weapon. The Wrist Blades are awesome, and iconic, but they aren't as practical.


 * Mid-Range- The Predator. The Plasma Caster is a very powerful energy weapon, both in shoulder-mounted and hand held forms. The Plasma Rifle is relativly mediocre, not nearly as accurate, prone to overheating and like the rest of the Covenant's weapons- not fit for a long battle.


 * Long Range- The Elite. The Concussive Rifle is an explosive weapon that can knock the Predator back and bombard it, and the Mask Laser is almost a redudant, useless weapon.


 * Special- Predator. Smart Disks are really, really strong. They are sharp enough to go in a human and out the other, can be used at any range, and they can be returned to the thrower with a push of the button, turning an already one-hit kill into a squad killing weapon with no effort.


 * Deadliest Warrior- The Predator. It's smarter, stronger and armed with better weapons.
