unfortunetly, I think that the battle rifle will become the new pistol unless bungie is careful, because once the snipers lose their precious pistol, they're gonna be lookin 4 a replacement, and since the sniper rifle isn't all over the place, they're gonna gravitate to the battle rifle. Turning pistol sniping matches (what a lot of Halo games degrade into today), into Battle Rifle sniping matchs (what a lot of games will degrade into when Halo 2 comes out). I really hope bungie knows what they're doing, and wil try really hard to not make the battle rifle the new pistol
spec ops if you read the game informer halo 2 cover story Char (the best halo player in the alpha test) said that the battle rifle "doesn't have range accuaracy combination of the that the pisol had but it leads to more balance" that and the battle rifle fires 9.5 mil bullets but the pistol fired 12.7 mil heavy explosive roundsso you wont see 3 shot kills with the battle rifle, dont worry Bungie knows how that the pistol wasn't balanced and that more balanced guns are better than more guns (just look at the Halo evolution video to see all the weapons that got scrapped)
