Secret Cave

There is in level 5 a secret cave at the button of the map entrance. It comes out on the side where they are not expecting a side attack from that side and it shall be easier.

Battling flood

Using a combination of assault, Shotgun, and grenades works best...

Warning: Only use the [sticky] grenades at a far distance, especially for the little ones.

Shot gun- use on big floods, and little floods.
When those little guys, that jump up at you, are all grouped together use the shot gun, it shoots out a lot of bullets at a time (you can see this if you shoot at a smooth wall, or the ground...you can see all the marks it makes).
Also close to medium range range to the big guys.

Use Assault rifle if the guy is standing still, if he or you are moving too much it screws your aim very badly and you waste bullets and have to re load more often and then they have a clear shot.
For the grenades use them when you know something is behind a wall, or when you see a lot of flood coming at you from a safe distance.
for sticky grenades you MUST ALWAYS REMEMBER to use them at a safe distance because if you shoot it on one of those little guys that follow you you will get hurt bad too because of the blast that they brought with them, same with the big guys; I have learned this because the the Master Chief doesn't run to fast so he cant out run a lot of the flood.

Don't use your grenades all at once..They are to important, and sometimes rarest when you need them.

Battling easier

This is how to battle The BAD GUYS.
[Elite]
[M6D Pistol][Slow rate of fire and small clip size make this weapon ineffective against the fast moving Elites]
[MA5B Assault rifle][At minimum,prepare to extend an entire clip to bring one down{more,if your aim isn't sure}]
[S2 AM Sniper Rifle][If youve got it,use it.It will tear through the Elites shielding.A head shot will take them down instantly]
[M90 Shotgun][The closer you are,the faster they fall]
[Fragmentation/Plasma Grenades][The will dodge most grenades throw at them.Use grenades only if they are cornered]
[M19SSM Rocket Launcher][A waste of Rockets. Use smaller arms.]
[Plasma Pistol][Resist the urge to fire a power shot;an Elite will most likely dodge it.Instead,fire continuous bursts to bring them down more quickly than with the pistol or assualt rifle]
[Plasma Rifle][Very effective if your aim is true.If not,the overheat can leave you vulnerable to a charging and angry Elite]
[Needler][Highly Effective.Empty a clip at the elite,and the needles will home in on it,piercing its shield and quickly dispatching it.]

[Grunt]
[Pistol][One or two shots should put a grunt to rest.]
[Assault Rifle][Highly Effective against one or many.]
[S2 AM Sniper Rifle][Can we say overkill?Obviously effective,but use it on bigger threats before grunts]
[M90 Shotgun][Can take down multiple Grunts with a single shot.]
[Grenades]Grunts are slow to respond to a grenade,so more than one can be taken out per throw.]
[Rocket Launcher][Akin to using an axe to cut better.It'll work but what a mess.]
[Plasma Pital...oops *Pistol][Charge it up and take them out.For single shots M6D pistol is more leathal]
Plasma Rifle][You short bursts to avoid overheating.This is the weapon of choice against the grunts.]
[Needler][Great from a distance.Up close,however,you will take a lot of damage as you wait for the needles to find there target and explode]

Battle easier 2

[Hunter]

[M6D Pistol][Utilize its scope for effective long range [aim for its neck or back]if you hit the orange flesh right on you can take one out with a single shot]

[MA5B Assault Rifle][Really only effective if you shoot them in the back]

[S2 AM Sniper Rifle][Aim for the neck or back]

[M90 Shotgun][Like the pistol one shot to the back should do it]

[Fragmentation/Plasma Grenade][Will only aggrivate them,unless its detonates behing them]

[M19SSM Rocket Launcher][They should nickname the Rocket Launcher "Hunter Killer"]

[Plasma Pistol][Ineffective.Don't use the pop-gun unless you want a fuel rod chaser]

[Plasma Rifle][Go for the orange flesh,but human weapons seem more effective]

[Needler][The needles will bounce harmlessly off there exoskeleton armor]

[Jackal]

[Pistol][Fire a shot at the hole in the sheild]

[Assaualt Rifle][Aim for the hole and unload]

[Sniper Rifle][Aim for the hole and its over]

[Shotgun][If your close enough it should knock them back,second shot will kill 'em.]

[Grenades][Jackals usualy ignore them so throw 'em if you got 'em]

[Rocket Launcher][This will do the trick]

[Plasma Pistol]One charged shot will kill the sheild second shot on em is death]

[Plasma Rifle][Will knock the shield away,leaving the Jackals body]

[Needler][Ineefective,Will not penetrate shield]

---NOTE---
Melee attack will penetrate shield and kill them first time.

Plasma Grenade

If your going to use a plasma grenade, try throwing the grenade on the alien where it sticks onto them.  It will blow up on them making sure it will kill the alien.  Also the aliens can do this to you if you don't move.
