I like how some of the arguements say that HaloCE was about the pistol and shotgun only. Yea, nobody ever used the Rockets or the sniper in HaloCE. What you guys dont understand is that the pistol wasn't the only weapon people used in Halo. I am really good with the pistol, but in our LAN games I spend a lot of the time using the shotgun and sniper rifle. You have to because the weapons are better suited for different things. Sure the pistol is great in Longest, but I sure use the shotgun an aweful lot when Im playing that map. I use the pistol a lot on Chill Out, but I sure as hell wont pass up a rocket or shotgun on that map.

I know a lot of people who would leave the Rocket for the pistol. The rocket is cheap, and my old Halo 1 LAN buddies agree. We hardly ever touched it. The sniper, on the other hand, was a good weapon. But a lot of the time, you would see people with a snipe and either a pistol or a shotty in their secondary (unless they were cheap rocket-toting bastards). Why is that? Well I explained it in the original post (i.e. they are uber weapons).

I have to say you are really really right. i hated that shotgun the only thing you could really beat it with was a pistol or a sniper rifle most of the time. However, i think the shotgun is now just slightly too weak.

the only reason halo 2 has any kind of auto aim is to keep online play smooth. If you check out some other threads in this forum, they will better explain what im trying to say.

So unless, you dont want online play, dont say they have to get rid of any kind of auto aim

I don't care about what weapons were used ... halo 1 is more fun to me. You make all this weapon whoring and whatnot sound bad. Theres so much more to it than you could imagine. If only I could show you a video play-by-play of me playing.

Weapon whoring is bad, in both Halo1 and 2. And there really isn't that much more to it, especially in H2, once you have that rocket you are the only one who has it. And I really don't want to see anyone play-by-play either.

Funny how people say "Those that are bad complaine about the pistol and enjoy Halo 2."

Well I'll tell you all now, I was an expert with the M6D and I hate it. It was a pity that everyone used it instead of using something else (besides the M90, M19SSM, and the SRS99C S2 AM). I'm gald Bungie fixed that problem. And oh yeah, I love both games. I just hate the M6D and the whores that use it.

You just called urself a whore...

I can take down a Shotty with a MA5B, don't give me any crap about the shotty and the pistol being too powerful. It matters how much of a expert you are.

Halo rocks and Halo 2 is only .5 of wut Halo is!

Don't post against me, don't flame. Halo 2 sucks, the weapons are being "modified" to be better.

I have 2 disagree, IMO i don't think Halo:CE was all about the pistol, i have to say, a lot of the long range fighting did take place with pistols and snipers.

But every weapon had it's advantage over the pistol in it's situatio
Shotgun, Plasma Rifle = Short range
Rocket launcher = Mid range
Sniper = Long range (If your good enough)

Even PP has it's moments, and the Needler... for stationary targets...
I don't see the pistol as over powered, i see it as versetile.
