No this has been posted before pistol and AR are gone get used to it you want to use those guns play halo 1. SMG=AR 120 round clip though so it is better. Pistol = BR less damage then the pistol probally about 6 shots to kill instead of 3 but almost triple the clip size of the pistol.

Well I know in First Strike (the book) they get new pistol's that are more powerful but smaller magazine or something... I dunno. It kinda sucks that they ditched the AR it was a good weapon to get when you spawn, lord knows how tired a trigger finger gets with the damn plasma pistol.

I understand it is slightly weaker, it still zooms 2X right?

I heard that the pistol was being reintroduced with some tweaking to improve balance.

Personally, I would like it better if it were somewhat bigger so it doesn't feel so overpowered for its size... Give it a longer barrel and a heavier-looking frame or something. It's probably just me, but it looks like something that powerful should have more mass to help the user deal with the recoil. Maybe it'll look beefier in Halo 2 if it doesn't look the same.

i think if bungie was to keep the pistol and ar the smae it would purely be for nostalgia effects in which i believe they wont need so i have enough trust in them to say drop them and make the game funner

No WTF. The Battle rifle is the new Assualt rifle! Its the same damned thing! Its 40 bullets by 9.62. It has a 3 round burst thats fully auto matic, pull the tirgger and 3shoot3shoot3shoot. Or it has a zoom in and a single shot. Everyone that has played the MP demo has said Yea the Battle Rifle is roxor awsome.

The assualt rifle was almost useless sometimes, you could shoot 60 bullets into the flood and nothing would happen. Also when you shot it at people in mp it almost did nothing. now it'll be more accurate and more deadly. STOP FUSSING AROUND. I hereby declare anymore WAH WAH I WANT THE MA5B topics to be ridiculously n00bish spam.

i think they should be there but also with all the new weapons so there is more of a choice on what you want. well like the plasma pistol take it out i hate that gun but maybe like a assult rifle or plasma rifle the pistol and stuff like that of the old weapons ut also add the new.

I would be sooo happy if the pistol wasn't in Halo 2. We're gonna be using the pistol for 3 years, I think it's time for a switch, don't you? 3 shots and you're dead. And after playing for 2 1/2 years on a pistol a person will always drop in 3-4 shots. And whoever is shot first dies, because by the time you turn around, you are dead. I think they should bring down the number of rounds in a magazine for a pistol and leave the damage the same, with no zoom, it's supposed to be a SIDEarm. Not the main weapon of every Halo player in the world.

Battle Rifle <-------primary weapon.
