The pistol is still a one handed weapon even if he hold it with two, he holds the P pistol with two he holds the needler with two he holds everything with both of his hands.

the pistol must be in halo 2... and i hope in 1 or 2 or 3 new weapons which can compete with the pistol... may be the carabine will be my favorite weapon... i love the covenant's grog pistol... and the punch after it... i'm really the best halo player in the world... but who care

I dont think it will be in Halo2, if it was why would they have kept it from us? I mean, we have ALL already used it in Halo, so why would they keep it a secret if they were bringing it back. I mean, think about it this way, why would anyone use the pistol in Halo2, when they could just use the battle rifle? I mean, more ammo, has a zoom aswell, has rapid fire when un-zoomed, better range, more versatile.......why would you bother using the pistol?

I think for that reason it just wont be in, because it would be a pointless choice when you could just use the BR instead. If it IS in Halo2, and you wanna be silly enough to take me on when Im holding a BR, just dont complain that the pistol isnt as good anymore when I pan your ass!

Maybe its only the most obvious thing in the world just to me, but it seems totally plausible that the BR was an attempt(a bloody good one) to make the AR and pistol the same weapon! Hence, no need for either to return in Halo2.
So they have not said if the hunter was in or was not in, and it was in Halo 1. So let me guess in your mind there is no more Hunter?

AR??
BR???

sorry...but
i think that all the halo weapons are balanced... with the pistol i can kill in long, medium and short range... yes but with ( for example ) the plasma pistol in short, medium range i can kill someone holding a pistol... i mean 1vs1... and with a sniper a pistol in long range have no chance...assault rifle is goood only when you can see yours reflexs on the bastard glass... bazooka is -blam!-... the needler is too stupid to be deadly... and if i'm close to you the pistol is useless prepare yourself to be punched...

@Blue Spartan

Nah dude, they already said the hunter would make a return, there just top secret for now, nust be getting a makeover. I love the Pistol like everyone man, Im just being rational. Why would they keep the pistol, when the BR is basically a more versatile vamped up version of it?

The pistol is so good because it takes skill to use it. Not like the rocket or the shotgun, which are both one hit kills. (depending on distance) Killing someone with the pistol takes accuracy and skill, unlike the rocket where you can simply fire infront of your oppent and kill him. Or the shotgun where at any close distance its a three shot kill no matter where you hit the enemy... Thats why noobs play so many rocket/shotgun games, where they can win without using any skill at all. They like to avoid playing withintermediates or gods, beacause they dont have skill with the pistol. You need the pistol to kill snipers. What are you going to use? A slow as hell rocket? Perhaps the horrible aim of the AR? Or maybe the badly ranged plasma wepons... The pistol is a great tool for anyone that has a little skill.
