hmmmm what is making me mad is that we don't start off with the pistol in split screen and in xbox live. they have taken the heart and sole out of halo. the last halo was all about the pistol and your ability to shoot. the best person had the best skill. i have no problem in losing to someone with a pistol. i respect a good pistol shooter. the machine gun is random and it takes no skill. kill someone takes much longer. the people that where real halo players got to agree with me that the pistol was where it was at... where is the talent in using a machine gune. i think this is the biggest flaw they made was having us start off with just the stupid machine gun....come on bungie, you have let me down.

I think that the change to the pistol was good, due to the fact that it was too good. The SMG is the new Assault Rifle... duh, that's why you start with it. And there's no way that in reality, you can snipe someone from really far away with a pistol with a scope on it. Come on now. I think that the changes they made were good, and if anythings unfair, it's the sword, but even then you have to be really close.

Halo 2 = Greatness
(Hell, Halo 1 isn't even old yet, this one I'll be playing forever!)

We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.

God, I am sick and tired of all you people saying that the pistol was the one and only thing that made Halo 2 good! Answer this; is it a good thing if you don't get any benifits from getting a different gun than the default? If they pistol was so good, why even get another gun? It's not like you need them; as you said, it was the only one that was any good.

You aren't supposed to be able to use the same gun in every situation!
