OMG Halo 1 was balanced. EVERYONE HAD THE PISTOL. If you couldn't deal with it, then you sucked. Plus there were still ways to overcome your opponent. In Halo 2 all you have to do to win is to pray you start next to rocket/snipe/sword. And even sniping is way easier in Halo 2.
Yes, it really is.
In Halo 2, if you spawn in the middle of a level, especially Burial Mounds, Coagulation or something, what are you supposed to do with an SMG?? By that point in the game all the snipes and BR are taken and you just have to huddle in a corner. And the sniper is unstoppable on most levels (if he is good) since there are no weapons that can take him down. Yea, the BR or carbine can unzoom him, but he'll just duck for cover get the zoom back and kill you, probably by shooting MC in his new extra large head.
And stop saying pistol whores.
What you are really saying is "I suck. I start with one of the best weapons but continue to die. WAAAA"
Plus, you are the kids that whore the sword.
Which, sadly, is what you must do to win- whore sword, snipe or rocket.
And it's not so much skill in getting them (yea you can overcome a sword opponent with pistol/plasma pistol, but in FFA he already got 10 kills from it by the time you get there after shopping for weapons.)
Plus, no grenading weapons or power upsto yourself. The majority of halo 2 is "find your opponent first and hold both triggers down.)
Bleh, whatever. I know everyone will quickly flame me as a pistol whore. But, well, read the post.
