I noticed this in the most recent Bungie Update:

I also animated the first-person CENSORED (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 CENSORED and it has CENSORED now, so people are probably going to CENSORED and CENSORED. Oh well, all’s fair in the cruel world of gameplay balance.

I recon it is refering to the pistol in Halo 2. What do you think?

Maybe or maybe not. I was reading the June OXM and they didn't say anything about the pistol being in the hands-on copy they played. It's probably being tweaked or not in the game at all.

or maybe, as in Halo:CE they didnt have that weapon turned on... there is also the chance that it wasnt included, either way i dont care

Driven to distraction. ^_^

Yep, I agree, it does make sense when talking about the pistol.
It was slightly overpowered in the original and nerfing it would probably annoy some players but it has to be done to maintain balance and it's small enough to dual wield.

Also, the fact that its only just been animated would explain why it hasn't been seen/mentioned yet.

Good work, I can't think of a better suggestion :)

Possible interpretation:

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 IT WAS IN THE ORIGINAL and it has NO ZOOM? now, so people are probably going to SEE THAT IT IS WEAKER and COMPLAIN. Oh well, all’s fair in the cruel world of gameplay balance.

I would have to agree with that.

he is not talking about weapons. What do u think of when someone says first-person? I think first person shooter. That is not the answer because it would make no sense. I thinkk he could be talking about animations though. It seems to fit. He could also be talking about the hud. I'm not sure. I don't think he's talking about weapons though and even if he were the pistol? Come on already!!!!!!!!! Haven't u guys figured it out. The pistol and also the ar will not be in halo3. Br replaces pistol, and smg replaces ar. The facts add up. Br has 40 round clip a 3 round brust mode, 1round snipe mode, and a faster refire rate, and 2x zoom mode. The pistol has 12 rounds per clip, 2x zoom mode, semiauto and auto but its no machine gun, it is barely and I mean barely faster than semiauto. Oh ya they also fire the same mm rounds. I don't know about u guys but this is a no brainer its br. For the smg and the ar. The ar has automatic fire but is not too fast I'm not sure how many rounds per second, (I'll make this one short), and the smg can fire a whole blamming load faster than the ar. I just know it shoots alot faster but gives up accuracy while I the the ar would be a little more accurate from a medium to long range. But the smg turns its target into swiss cheese alot faster than the ar. U got ur 2 weapons u need to beat halo2 right here already br and smg. +the smg is able to be dual wielded. I don't think the ar would be from its bulk.

Shut up Elite marine, can you see it posted already? If I had seen it posted already i wouldn't of posted this one. If it is posted already, then where is it posted, maybe you found it, but most people don't like trawing through 75+ pages of posts to see if the topic they want to post has already been posted.

The pistol will hopefully be back, only with slightly lower damage (but will still reward for headshots) and without a scope. Double wielding will probably decrease the accuracy anyways.

It is like on the second page of the new weeking update thread. Not that hard to find, with better explaniations for the words in the CENSORED space.
