Okay, very simply, which weapon do you use in Monster Hunter Tri and why? Have you tried the other weapons? Do you use a variety of weapons depending on the need? Personally, I use Sword and Shields or Bowguns, depending on whether I want to capture, or cut off a tail or if close-range isn't practical for the monster. Also, I prefer speed over power, which is why weapons like Greatswords and hammers go unused in my game.
