I'm a dude playing a dude desguised as another dude. I hate heritics, non-logical thoughts and people who are better than I am. People tell me that they like a lot of games, but I hate them all. Whenever I play a video game, I always go crawling back to Halo 3. Never go full retard!

The only people who like the handgun, are people with no skills!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is right, I said it.


Totally incorrect, auto-aim was lower in Halo 1 than in Halo 2, so the pistol was harder to use at long distances, it took some skill


Okay, well then lets think about this for one second. The pistol could shoot from long range and kill people who weren't even expecting to get shot or anything. The gun would totally catch people off gaurd, and it was like only four shots untill they died. It was the cheepest gun to use, and the only people who acctaully miss it and wish that it were back in Halo 2, are people who really can't play well. Like I said earlier, the only people who like the handgun, are people with no skills. That is a totally true statement! OH!

But still with no auto-aim it took some skill to get a good headshot, considering the shots wouldn't go in the same spot, like the battle rifle, so pistol fights were random, anyone could win, even if you were caught off guard at a considerable range, you could still turn it around. And if your games were as intense as mine, you would be ready for anything, like one time 8v8 sidewinder ctf, they attacked with 2 tanks, 2 hogs, and a ghost. Unlike the battle rifle where the guy that got the first shot in a dual usually won. It took considerable skill to use it against more powerful weapons at different ranges like shotgun at close range or sniper at long range. O and the 'cheapest' weapon was the plasma rifle, considering it slowed your movements, same with the plasma pistol.

The pistol is the best weapon in the game

it has range and power

(1,2,3, anybody??? 2 shots to the chest and 1 to the head to kill someone)


or just three shots to the chest. i think it is 2 to the head; or 2 to the back; or 1 to the back of the head?

anyway, it is a hard choice, but ill have to say: M6D pistol=1st; MA5B Assault Rifle= 2nd. (thank god you can have 2 weapons at once.)

you DO know it had basically the shortest range, right? the plasma pistol shot further. Idk about the shotgun, but can't you catch people off guard anyway? what is the purpose of the sniper then? If you keep getting owned by a guy with a pistol, i suggest you get better at halo, instead of -blam!-in about the weapon. "the only people who acctaully miss it and wish that it were back in Halo 2, are people who really can't play well" i agree with this, but hey, i still kick ass in H2 with the magnum. but, none the less, you are wrong, and really ought to stfu.

Please tell me that you don't actually know how to get a 3-shot?

Its 2 shots anywhere, (head, chest leg, arm pelvis, toe, ANYWHERE) and the last shot is in the head.

I'm 100% positive about this.

yes, but the 3rd shot doesn't have to be in the head. and in my previous quote, those are seperate kills. it should have been:

3 to the chest; 2 to the head; 2 to the back; and one to the back of the head. I'll edit it.

OMG look!!! You can see Bungie!!!!! O.O

Actually, I would go with either the AR or the Pistol. AR is great for close-medium range battles, but I picked Pistol because of the 3-hit-kill thing.

Edit: By the way, it's 3 hits to the head. I've done some tests with the thing. The first shot drains about 2/3 of your sheild, second shot drains the rest of your sheild and some of your health, and the third shot kills.

I have voted twice on this. Both times, I voted for the assault rifle. Now everybody. I will say right now, THE PISTOL ISN'T A GOOD WEPON!

M6D pistol rocks, man. maybe you just suck with it, might have terrible accuracy, in which case you need a spread fire gun. don't dish on a gun cause you suck with it.

Pistol. Three shots to the head=dead n00b. it also has a quick reload and good melee.

I suck with a sniper, so I use a pistol, and mostly assault rifle. but i can use pistol and just about anything ('cept sniper) and still kickass (for my level, nessy and the dudes are about 3-4 levels above me in skill. actually, i guess it's about67 levels above me.....

The first shot drains about 1/3, second takes off a little over 2/3 and the third shot depletes the shield and impacts the most vulnerable part of the body, the head.

Seriously how did you screw up this test?

yes, but the 3rd shot doesn't have to be in the head. and in my previous quote, those are seperate kills. it should have been:

3 to the chest; 2 to the head; 2 to the back; and one to the back of the head. I'll edit it.

Please edit and delete that garbage. LlamaKing and I seem to be the only one to know how the pistol works.

You're playing with 50% health and shields. What's even funnier is those stats are still wrong if that was the case.
