It's a 13 shot kill pistol (that's a full clip and a RELOAD to kill) and it's not very accurate which makes having a zoom useless to begin with.

are you talking about H1 or H2 pistol? bc your very wrong for both of them. H1=3 hit kill; H2=7 headshots. (for me, anyway.) And what do you mean it isn't accurate? has same accuracy as the H1 pistol, which had about 90% accuracy, btw.

I'm talking about the Halo 2 pistol. You don't have the 1.1 patch that changed the gameplay so technically we're not playing the same game but regardless if you have the update or not the Magnum is still inaccurate. Just shoot the wall from a good distance and look at the bullet holes.

The only reason I would prefer the Pistol to the Sniper, is because the Sniper is -blam!- against the flood >.< .

Assualt rifle wins hands down!

Well, best UNSC weapon would have to be the MA5B Assault Rifle. Good range, excellent clip size, can rip apart flood if you know how to use it, slaughters those bad-ass Elite Units, and a trusty armament. But I don't use it. I use the Plasma Rifle.

Actually, that's not true. In the Level Keyes, you come up apon a clif-face, where there's coolant at the bottom, and two hunters, some elites, and mass amounts of flood (and the un-lucky grunt), and if you keep the shot-gun, you get there, there's a sniper-rifle under the body of a flood Combat Form.

Not in Halo 1 it isn't. I love the pistol the best. Oh yeah this is the halo 1 forums stupid. Pistol pwns assault rifle at close range but Pistol owns even more.

Rockets. You get 10 of them. They'll clear an LZ better than anything. The sniper is mighty fine with the scope how that works. The shotty was a great gun that needed too much ammo. The pistol is in the top three.. tied with the AR and the sniper. Rockets are number one. Frags included.

AR is the most awesome, but Shotgun is the most effective. The only things it can't beat are...Banshees...and tanks. That's pretty much it. Oh, and you wouldn't waste it on Grunts, but that doesn't count.

And in Flood levels, you use these two weapons nearly all the time, which is doubly hardcore.

If you shootin short burts, the AR is perfect for short-mid range. In XBC, the AR was no doubt the best weapon, it was better than the pistol.
AR's are more common, too.

AR better than pistol in multiplayer? Thats really hard to believe. Pistol outclasses it all the time, save for close range where you can double melee with the AR before the 3 shots of death from the pistol arrives.

And what was all the commotion about the pistol on page 2? It takes 3 shots... 2 anywhere for the shields to die, then one last one on the head (this is for 100% health course).
