heres why halo 1 needed pistol start:
Camo and rocket. Ive played kids who are half decent with the pistol and Ive barely used the pistol aganist them. why? because camo rocket is hard to kill for a pistoler, it would just be so much much worse if they didnt have pistols at all. Now heres some more examples of pistols at an DISADVANTAGE:
the assault rifle is a faster, meaner melee weapon. also makes you quick camo, making you even more powerful when wielding rocket and camo. when without shields, you cannot outstrafe assault rifle.
the shotgun. close range. dead.
the plasma rifle. you are always at a disadvantage if you get frozen, even if you have overshield. it is the perfect weapon to pick up to counter overshield and is an important weapon for 1v1 wizard, prisioner.
rocket and sniper. dont need to say much for this one.
pretty much every weapon was situational and could beat the pistol with the exception of the needler. this made pistol starts for halo 1 the successful settings for the game.
if smgs dont work as the effective starting weapon whats your propsal for what should be a good model for a starting weapon? the battle rifle? the br is pretty much similar to the pistol in its function that u can take on any situation, but its also flawed because theres not much emphasis on skillful aiming. A game is more fun when you practice and practice the fundamentals of strafing and shooting and halo 2 watered down that aspect.
A perfect starting weapon puts emphasis on skill with a infinite learning curve, is the all around weapon that has weaknesses aganist almost all guns that are situational in their uses. It is also a gun that has range to fit any map and make all maps fun to play on. historically, the ce pisotl is the only gun that has achieved this and is perfect for tournament play.Just.....look at hang em high and look at tombstones. If you disagree, its your option but this is the gold standard for competitive halo ce gaming.
this is why i know that people are bad when they think that the pistols the only thing they need for halo 1. you dont win games if you only use 1 gun unless the other team doesnt know wtf they r doing.
thank u blueterror, thats wut ive been saying the whole time!!!!! watch out though, battle rifle might start saying that the pistol is the master weapon and can take on anything with ease and that if u start with the smg "just dont go out in the open" when going against a sniper. also watch out for master kim, he might start leeching on to battle rifle's dick again

thank u , u finally ran out of retarded things to say, but you had to include one more to announce ur defeat cuz u got nothing else to say, god i love proving ppl wrong
PS: tell master kim not to suck ur dick too hardHahaha, haha, hahaaaahahahahahahahaha.
You love proving people wrong, eh? Got nothing better to do with your time on this forum than to do that? After all, what's this forum for without discussion or arguments? However, people could do without your incessant, constant rude remarks consisting of your thirty-word vocabulary.
Your maturity (or lack there of) is revealed when you can do nothing more but reply with childish fifth grade insults. I've heard better come backs from a dog turd laying in my front yard. You call others retarded when you serious lack intelligence yourself, and fail to back up your arguments--all you're doing is trying to pick a fight with people by calling them crude, low-brow words that I would expect from a ten-year-old. God, you're worse than me. Just stop it, you're making yourself look more of an asinine retarded jackass than you already are.
"u finally ran out of retarded things to say" Well, you sure haven't!
thanks master kim, u have just told me the same thing my mom said 2 minutes ago
PS: i do love proving ppl wrong
