I voted no. Don't even think about flaming me. I loved the pistol, and still do, but its overpowered and unbalanced.

what ir eally hate are the god damn pro's that are like babababababam and ur dead (u KNOW what i mean) when they use the pistol. It will be nice to have limited the weapon. I mean honestly, what level do u not use a pistol in besides like chiron (even then).

Pistol is what makes Halo fun online. WHy would you take away something that is fun. It can be a bad decision by Bungie to get rid of it. I mean so wwhat if it's too powerful. Everyone has the game chance of killing each other with the same weapon...so it's fair enough. Getting rid of pistol is like getting of sniper rifle. But then isn't sniper rifle more poweful? WIth a single shot on the head, ur dead. What other guns are there to replace the pistol anyway. You don't want a bunch of guns that burst out multiple shots like the AR, that ain't fun. You need guns like pistls to balance things out. One more thing, the pistols is not powerful if ur not good at it. It's only powerful because people are good at it. NOobs suck at it that's why they said pitols are too powerful..

uh no... I bet I could kill you easilly with the pistol... We say it's overpowered because in most situations it makes the other weapons look down right -blam!-... That's why we say it's "overpowered"....

Most people considered themselfs "god" because they are only good with the damn pistol... and a majority of the games become pistol matches...

You see, two people both using one gun will always be balanced because they're both using and doing the same stuff, but using other guns there will be no balanced for the majority (of course a rocket up close will beat a pistol, but a pistol will kill a rocket laucher user anywhere else, same with shotgun, and sniper rifle is the opposite (own it at long range but will get ass kicked everywhere else)

The pistol is worse IMO then the Panzer in Return to Castle Wolfenstein on Elimination mod IMO...

WTF has anyone read the books? I am so sick of noobs putting up stupid polls read the fricking books or get off the website. Okay maybe thats too severe but seriously how could you not read the books and consider yourself a dedicated Halo fan?

Im not saying this one more time after this so listen up in First Strike they descripe a New variat of a pistol larger and more powerful but more like a magnum pistol today (less ammo and RoF and probably no scope) that and there is no Assault Rifle it was replaced by the Battle Rifle so plz give up on this subject (and if the M6D and AR are back you can offcially give me 20 strokes in a public square on November 10)

BS the author cant make stuff without the written consent of bungie and microsoft everything in the books is approved of by the bungie team if the author made stuff up that wasn't given to him by bungie then he would be sued

Answered the following please

1. Does the AR and shade work as good in the game as it does in the Book?
2. Do the events happen perfectly in the game as they do in the book?
3. Is the Dialog 100% the same as it in in the books (I'll anser this, it's not)

So no, the book and the game are not directly linked together.

I don't think the pistol that we know is gonna be back in H2 cuz

1:When using the scope the BR does the same thing as the pistol.
2: its true that it is overpowered (i know cuz i use it)
3:There is that magnum on the book
4:in campain i bet you are as tired as me to always use the pistol cuz is power as no limits.
5: i can't find a 5th reason

so my responce is NO with the caps

Any changes between the book and game were made for the balance in game and story in the novel. Saying that things can be in the books and not exist in game is silly does that mean that there is no Brute? or no Brute slug thrower? The ODST helljumpers were in Fall of Reach and their in Halo 2 the Brute and Prophet and multible weapons were in the books and are confirmed to be in Halo 2 Bungie even said they were making changes to the original guns soo theres no reason to use to say that the books are not directly linked to each other if silly Bungie wouldn't allow BS to be allowed in a book that is connected between to their game

The pistol was way too powerful and accurate. So much so that it was better than the assault rifle, which doesn't sound too balanced to me. Though it looks like the battle rifle will have the same scope, rate of fire (when zoomed) and damage, so I think it will be just as annoying. I agree the pistol should remain, but be weakened.
