Thank you Boxmonster, someone that agrees with me on H1 pistol carnage. My freinds and I got so good we didn't need anything else. I LOVE halo 1 and 2, Halo haters...go get infected by the flood. Or come down with a bad case of death.

And for those of you that didn't know, the pistol still owns, dual weild, it's not as powerful but still very dangerous. that doesn't bother me though. At least a couple of pistol shots won't bring you down from halfway across the map.

Why don't you shut up about the rules. You're not a mod. You never will be.
Anyways, now people just head toward the Sword and Rocket Launcher, especially on Zanzibar and Ivory Tower. They're too close together. On Zanzy, just head up, get the Launcher, then head into the blades and get the Sword. Same thing on Ivory. Get the sword, head out into the middle, grab the Launcher.

seems fishy, why would Bungie put them so close together? Maybe they knew all along....

So how do you feel about the Battle Rifle then? Or the Carbine? They both do the same thing the pistol did.

yeah but the carbine and the battle rifle aren't as powerful as the pistol was... the pistol was unstoppable in Halo 1

the pistol took three shots to kill, the battle rifle take many more tigger pulls. Otherwise we'd all be spamming them. Don't you think Bungie took that into account?

I think Battle Rifle is a better weapon than Carbine, and it is almost as good as the old pistol.

The battle rifle takes 4 full burst to bring someone down with all connecting headshots.

Don't even start me on the whole "pistol" topic. I NEVER PLAYED HALO AGAIN once Halo 2 came out, just because of that AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL weapon of unrealistic prpportions... I have nightmares about them.

Yes I'm a fan of both. I like both for different reason, but I think I am the first person to find fault with Halo 1. When we used to play System Link on H1, it would always turn into a pistol sniping, shotty wielding fest. People would pusposefully run to these weapons just to win. Now in Halo 2, there are many different ways to fight, and the shotty was powered down to keep clumping shotty wh0r3s from ruling a board. Also, no more pistol, which everyone knows was overpowered, even if they don't want to admit it. The new diversity of weapons and dual wielding feature enable people to fight many different ways, instead of the cliche shotty and pistol combo. I think that Bungie did good by Halo 2, by reducing cheapness by the balancing out the weapons and adding more variety to the first games meager selection. What do you guys think? And if you are just going to complain about Halo2, please don't post, I want this to be a constructive criticism/suggestion/support topic, not a bon fire like many other topics have turned into.

Ha ha stanman has been foiled by the great ferret. Soon he shall start a ferret army and take down the legions of the dark forces. ferret will be the leader and he will use his 1337 ferret skillz to end the fight once and for all.

or he just went home to sit on his ass watching conan and eating cheesy poofs.

flood control
got my AK!!

I thought the pistol was over powering too go agenst a guy with a sniper rifle at far range the pistol wins it shoots faster and you could knock out the scope

Sorry I'm new to posting, and I didn't know how to move it. Thanks for moving it over though. And please keep this convo alive. I want to here what people think about the difference between Halo 1/2. But if you are going to post, make sure it isn't a complaint, but rather an observation, or something that worked for you, not just a mindless flame.

What people dont understand is that everyone spawned with a pistol and what it really did while being a good weapon it kept all the weapon whores in check. If you say pistol whore, everyone had one, so you cant whore it you can only be good with it. Shotty is better at close range, prifle is better at close range, ar was better at close range, sniper was better at long range, rockets....well there rockets. Pistol was best at mid range, and it allowed a skilled player to have a chance of beating that guy with the rockets, or sniper, or shotty ect. People who didnt play aganst good people didnt see this, and thats why a lot of them see no problem with halo2, they dont realize how halo CE was a sport, everyone was equal, and skill ruled all, not the weapons.

If someone is a pistol whore (like me) you become a pistol whore. Shotty vs pistols dont always win what about the PR? That thing took you down pretty quick i always had a pistol every one had a pistol. Bungie said that the pistol was the weapon to keep in every multiplayer match. People who complain about the pistol probley wernt very good with it so they complain about it.

I totally agree with you on the overpowered weapons man. Bungie admitted to their mistake by making the pistol way too powerful. I think the Halo series is one the the best fps series ever. =P <3 teh Halo
