Instead of the plasma sword which we had already seen in the demo, the weapon in the wheel was the human pistol! Comon think about how awesome that would've been. Best way to find out if it was still in the game.

We've seen the human pistol in halo 2 before? And the sniper and shotgun would def be in everyone knows that, there's a cloud around the pistol.

Well, I guess it doesn't really matter as there is not another E3 coming up before November 9....

Yeah, it would be awesome if they showed every weapon.....but the only problem would be that there would be no "surprise" if they showed it.

The closest thing we got so far is what frankie stated, and because of his censoring job... don't even know if it's directed completely at the pistol yet... I'm guessing that if it is, they're not either:

Sure yet on how to balance it out with the other weapons

or

If they are sure what they have done is balanced enough that it won't be seen as a worthless weapon

the more and more I think about it, the less and less I want the pistol in Halo2. It would make everything more balanced and add more depth to the gameplay. I think that there should be a reason to fear and want every weapon, not just the pistol.

I think the pistol was overused in multiplayer (not overpowered though) it was the more convenient weapon (and so people always kept one handy including me) and if its gone the battle rifle is sure to take its place anyway.

I dunno, if there's no pistol it just wont feel like halo to me.

Not quite IGN said the shotgun was a one hit kill weapon upclose and ot was awesome to blow up the enviroments and see the shells knock your dead enemies flying. As for the Sniper Rifle Subnova commented saying there was only one diffrence with it in that it kicks after each shot forcing the players to go for headshots

Your secondary weapon is your main weapon.... you do realize how silly that sounds from a military standpoint? Can you imagine a WW2 beachhead where they all charged with Colt 45's?
