The only problem I had with the pistol in halo 1 was the sniping. No one go's into a battle with snipers, tanks and machine gun toting supersoldiers and then whips out a pistol and kills em all. Because I am a devout sniper (and a top 500 player in RtCW on Xbox Live with it ;) the pistol irrated me greatly. because I would have a perfect shot then all the sudden a bunch of shots hit me at 100 yard distance from a freaking pistol!? and to those doubters right from first strike "They weren't the standard issue HE pistols; these had oversized barrels-easily 30 percent larger and longer" and then later on "Whatever this new handgun shot, it was high caliber, slugs the size of his thumb" then finally "it was perfectly balanced, far better than the standard issue sidearm". Now the balance this out this out I believe ther will be 4 less bullets (amounting to 8 each clip) and reduced fire and no scope, it would still be a superb mid range gun the would fit perfectly into the game. Also the covie carbine IS NOT A SNIPER RIFLE and there is no AR it has been upgraded to the BR and the SMG is prefurable to it anyway

So that is proof that not all the weapons in Halo 1 were balenced.
It doesn't amke sense.

keep the pistol, but weaken. Get some skillz with an SMG!

Yeah, I guess so. Or some rookies were being wooses about how they hate being killed so much by a pistol. Either one could answer the scenario at hand.

of course not all of the weapons in halo were balanced, the AR sucked things that need not explaining. it makes more sense this way anyway, w/ an SMG and BR instead of a crappy-a%$ AR that shoots so inaccurately you cant hit someone from several yards away.

alas, not to rip on the choice of weapons bungie has made for halo, but i guess for the sake of balance ther is no grenade launcher on the BR, and why arent there any flying marine/human vehix in multi player. i just figure, its a few years in the future, where is it?...oh well, its a wonderful game and i bicker far too much for how much i love it and will love the next.

also, bah humbug to ps2's killzone for calling it a halo killer, good job it took ya 2 yrs ps2, and halo 2 comes out directly after your juggernaut release

I find it funny that Halo has been out for years and Sony is still trying to kill it. I played that game and it was a joke.

Sony will never beat xbox unless they buy out bungie (which will never happen).

spartan 0029 I may be new to THIS forum (I post alot at BG:H) but that does not mean I am a rookie wuss in Halo, I am a Xbconnect vet and exceptional with the pistol I was only complaining that a Pistol does should not be the best gun in the game trust me any good to any good sniper the pistol is their worst nightmare. Thus I believe it should be changed, but still be valuable if First Strike is accurate (is their any reason for it not to be) then bungie is doing their job balencing all the guns because im pretty sure no one ever battles a sniper with a pistol at long range and expects to live. I hate to have to use these so called "ghey" tactics such as pistol sniping and rocket whoring but I do what it takes to win and I usually do. In Halo 2 I fully expect it to be all about pure skill see ya Online ;)

Hey, I was criticizing ya for how long you've been around here. It's just that the pistol isn't strong.

Sounds like he's referring to the Pistol.

I also animated the first-person PISTOL (both single and dual shot), so that should be in the game and working now…it looks pretty cool, but it’s definitely a lot weaker than HALO 1 and it has NO SCOPE now, so people are probably going to -blam!- and COMPLAIN. Oh well, all’s fair in the cruel world of gameplay balance."

That sounds like a great way to bring back everybody's favorite overpowering weapon.

I think he meant he was testing it when its just by itself and when your using it with another gun

I just hope the hunters are harder to kill they were extremely boring to fight in Halo 1 wereas the Elites and Jackals and Flood Warriors on ledgendary always had you on your feet

I doubt Bungie will leave that cheap one hit kill trick in the game for the hunters. I hope to see them without their fuel rod gun, and possibly being attacking more ferociously at close range. But, the T-rex enemy is the one I'm most excited about. I believe bungie spoke of these creatures in the past and described them as being capable of flipping warthogs, so i'm imagining a lot bigger than hunters. Possibly t-rex size...
