Simple answer, no dual-wielding pistols.

you have some binoculars that are built into the MC's helmet. that provides zooming. but the fisr bullet you let fly will make the binoculars automaticaly zoom back out.

You dont know that, there's a new SCOPELESS pistol in the books, perhaps that's the new pistol that you will (and should) be able to dual wield. If it's not in the game, then oh well, they thought it wasnt balanced and left it out, but I believe it will be, much less useful than the pistol in Halo 1, as it needs to be

Sounds like someone's tired of getting owned in Deathmatch ; ) The Pistol in Halo (1) is arguably the best weapon in the whole game.

I hope the pistol is back in Halo 2. In Halo 1 it was nessecary to give it a scope for balance, so you'd actualyl have a reason to use it. Now if they have a new one in Halo 2, i hope its even more powerfull, but accuracy has gone down a bit and it has no scope.

people are so naieve (spelling). The pistol WAS the best gun in halo 1. Thats why no-one wants it back. Balanced weapons is what were on about...

Increasing power... not cool, even at the expense of accuracy and scope... it would be a sniper rifle with no sniper with more power... (its actually begginning to sound like a shotgun with less accuracy)

I heard somewhere Bungie was going to take the scope in the pistol.

Yes if it's back it will most probably not have a scope, actually it definately wouldnt. However, the added power doesnt worry me, I'm sure they'll balance it to be less accurate even without the scope, you wont be able to hit someone from as far away as across Hang Em High like in Halo. A sidearm wouldnt be that accurate anyways. And as it's been said, it may not be that the original was overpowered as much as everything else was underpowered. It's not near as powerful as a shotgun, and you can hold two, sounds good, they'll use whatever works best.
