It is perfectly balanced...
Everyone got one when they respawned. No running around looking for a serious weapon of choice. You hade one of the best already. The Battle Rifle was basically the replacement in Halo 2 and as such it was not too bad a weapon but it was not the same. Plus you don't always get the BR when you spawn in MP. I have played lots of games and nearly always start out with the smg. A sinlge weilded smg is not a real weapon all it will do is irritate serious players as you need to put at least awhole clip into someone to put 'em down.
Yeah I know there is no MP in Halo CE for XBox live. However there is system link so the principle applies here. Also Xbox Connect and such allow you to play online (though not very well in most cases).
I found the pistol in Halo CE to be an excellent weapon in single player. I used it as often as I could. It was like a smalll sniper rifle, obviously not as powerful but the pistol had enough power to do some serious damage. Heck you could even take out Hunters with the pistol. Try that in Halo 2 and you will die 90% of time and leave the Hunter standing 100% of the time.
The mention of Halo 3. Hmmm a problem might occur if you dual weild the M6D pistol as it could be very powerful used this way. Alternatively if you dual weilded with something like the smg it would make an awesome weapon the smg widdling down the shield and the pistol causing lots of damage. Alas though this is not a Halo CE issue and as such a bit out of topic. I only said all that because Halo 3 was mentioned.
In short the pistol in Halo Ce is awesome and I really liked it. Combine it with a sniper rifle and you have all the fire power you need. Heck I even took out Wraith tanks with the pistol and it worked. Took about a clip and a half but it worked none the less.
I got PPs as often as Pistols as starting weapons. I like it better that people run around to have better weapons and actually use every weapon than stand almost still and just use always good pistol. In Campaign AR and Pistol are so solid weapons i dont really use any other weapons, some people say we are forced to use certain weapons in Halo2 but i think its quite the opposite, we have so many choices to pick when our weapons are empty, but we always have bullets for AR and pistol. AR isnt bad, but pistol kills anyone with headshot, hunter with backshot, has enough bullets to waste some for spores, it just always works too well. I always first use AR and when i run out of clip i switch to pistol and instantly kill every enemy on map. Theres just no setback in pistol, it might not be best in every category, but its too good overall. Bullets, Power, Range, Zoom, Loading, Melee, Speed, Bullet visibility, everything works great it gets boring when everyone uses pistol. Halo3 pistol sounds great.
I dont question that M6D isnt realistic, but are they all, if pistols are that good why AR is so unaccurate and weak, why rockets dont have lock on, why sniper doesnt have bigger clips and higher firerate. Realism is good and there shold be as much as possible, but game wont be game if it doesnt have some odd customised things.
