The pistol was the dominant weapon that rendered many other weapons useless. Simply toning down the pistol fixes that problem.
No, that creates more problems than it fixes. The rocket and sniper would be ridiculously overpowered by comparison.
Then again, you'll have your pistol fans who will proclaim that there was nothing wrong with the pistol, but just something wrong with all the other weapons. Again, case and point of, "I'm not the problem, it's just that everyone else is." I'd rather solve one step of the problem instead of many others that would all lead to the same solution.
It wouldn't be the same solution at all, and someone were a pistol fanboy they wouldn't even have said changes need to be made. Bringing the spray weapons into the realm of effectiveness is the solution I see most often suggested by really competent gamers and modders, and it makes perfect sense.
Yes halo is flawed. But simply toning down the pistol without taking the bigger picture into account would make worse flaws.
