Just wondering. To be very honest, I could live without the human pistol. While I use it more than any other weapon, it would make it a hell of a lot more fun if it wasn't there. The new assault rifle would be far more fun and probably more balanced.

I really hope the Pistol is gone and if it come back it's lost is zoom and some power. I'm -blam!- sick of playing halo and having the whole match revolve around one -blam!- gun.

i could live without the pistol fo sho. it gets so freakin annoying. its too powerful.its like, you take an assualt rifle and shoot 2 clips and he looses half health..with pistol its like freakin 3 shot kills. and i hate when people are so freakin far away and kill you with a pistol..

so i could live without the pistol. unless, of course, it was 80 times less powerful and not had 2 zooms

The old AR. I used it so much that I'm just so tired of it now. :/

Through war we will teach your heresy.
Through battle we will teach your frailty.
Through death we will teach your fate.

The AR, that gun wasn't good for anything but killing the infection form of the flood.

The old AR sort of grew on me. I could live without it though...as long as it had a good replacement.

If the pistol was in the game it would be to powerfull. Zoom in times 2 then fire 2 rounds of armour percing exploding bullets at a guy. That is pure power so much so it would be unbalanced.

The old AR is going to be replaced with the SMGs, which will probably be more powerful and useful.

Thats just the thing...I have a feeling that Bungie will either romove the pistol all together or make it far more weak. They could make it stronger, but they'd have to reduce the magazine size by at least half. I think it would be easier to simply remove the pistol in favor of the battle rifle which is supposed to be stronger than the old AR but weaker than the pistol. It would be far more balanced yet nearly as effective.

I think that all of the human weapons from Halo should be in Halo 2 just for continuity sake. Why would all of the marines on the PoA use a gun that doesn't even exist of Earth? That wouldn't make sense.

I used the AR and liked using it, but out of the all the weapons, I could live without it the most. The plasma pistol sometimes was a pain, but with that and the regular pistol, you can down an opponent very quickly.

The old AR it's useless it just looks cool looks army like, we need the pistol though maybe less powerful and no zoom?

I picked the plasma pistol. I must say I never use it and i belive the ar to be the classic halo weapon being that its the standard issue for marines and such

I hated the old AR it sucked, it took a whole clip to take some one down the only thing it was good for was getting in the emenys face and wacking them.

I would be perfectly fine without the old AR. The only way to hit someone with it was if you were pointed away from them, and its effective range was shorter than the shotgun's. The battle rifle better make up for that piece of crap that we so affectionately call "the old AR".

I hated the plasma pistol. The energy blast was good on Elites and Jackals for their shield, and can also maintain a high rate of fire before overheating but the whole "battery" concept bothers me.

Hey!, guys, what's your beef with the pistol anyway? Sure, it's powerful, but that's not a bad thing (in fact I think it's a GOOD thing).

Sorry, pistol just happens to be my specialty.
