TL;DR please? It's called paragraphs and proper grammar, use them.
Anyways, judging from that pile of -blam!- I just read, you're saying how the Halo weapons are over-powered, no? Halo takes plenty of strategy, I hardly ever see people using the pistol also, it's always the AR or vehicles or something else. Strategy isn't whoring weapons, strategy is putting the people with the weapons in the right place, and you going the right way and making sure your ass don't get blasted running away with the flag.
The weapons are balanced nicely too. You say the pistol takes no skill, you have to learn to aim, key work, learn to aim. Aiming is something Halo 2 almost lacks, and something you need to learn in Halo, aiming is a skill. The pistol is a good all around weapon, but when people get excessively good with it, they use it everywhere, but get a guy excessively good with a shotgun, and a guy excessively good with a pistol, and put them at close range, and the shotgun guy will win. Same goes for the sniper guy. That's fair balance. A shotgun guy will win in close range, sniper at far, but a pistol, in the hands of a god player, will do well in all. In the hands of a bad player, not so much.
You can also take out Ghosts with nades, sniper, FRG, shotgun, pistol, assault rifle, I've killed people in Ghosts with them all, really, it's not that hard.
The shotgun can't kill people at 20 feet, maybe take their sheilds down, but it can't kill them right away. Also, the shotgun can't fire 15 shots without reloading, it only holds 12. The Halo 2 shotgun can't even kill people, so many times have I grabbed it, fired at the person from POINT BLANK RIGHT UP IN THEIR FACE RANGE, and it did nothing, I did it again, nothing, and by this time, my character's body was on the floor dead, and I was pissed at Halo 2's sillyness. Plus, the Banshee thing is balance. Say, the Banshee guy grabbed the rocket, now what do you do? Kill him with the shotgun, of course!
The noob combo, you say all you need is the pistol. Look at the Halo 2 noob combo, the PP bolt can travel you BEHIND A WALL, and take out your sheilds. The pistol bullets can not travel behind a wall, neither can the PP bolt in Halo. With Halo 2's magnetism, and Halo:PC's lack of it, the Halo 2 noob combo is much worse.
You fail, if you're getting your ass beat a lot, I'd be glad to help you out in making you better.
I would too, but I don't have the time or patience to teach him the fundamentals of Halo: CE. Surprisingly, crouching, jumping and reloading constantly helped a lot! I kno how to play all games pretty well this is just a thought
