staple as in the most used gun. You know like the Irish peoples' most used food is the potato. It is their staple food. are you getting any of this? But, then again this is off topic, so let's not discuss this anymore.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

So far, I haven't heard much complaints about the pistol. I would post this in Zanzibar, but it would get locked. I just want to know if you hated the weapon and if you used it.

The new pistol is not a technological downgrade. If you read the manual, the Halo 2 pistol is the M6C, a stripped down version of the M6D.

I agree with eagle5. It's just a game, and when H3 comes out, like he said, we will be complaining about H2's weapons.

i don't know if this was mentioned on pg.2 but it's called a .50 DESERT EAGLE,

everyones saying that it isin't possible for there to be a pistol that is as powerful as the M6D is in Halo but the desert eagle, bothe .50 calibre as well aas the .357(i think it's .357?) could blow youre head to tiny chunks like a shotgun hit u. That pistol in the right hands is possibly more powerful than most submachine guns.

A gun like that could be as strong as a cannon 500 years from now! Anyway, we are getting off topic. This thread is not about whether a pistol could be .50 calibre or not. This is about whether you hated the pistol or not and if you used it.

Of course when playinf friends i would use the pistol. They had no idea it was the best weapons. They were like look out i have a plasma rifle

The pistol was the reason that made Halo 1 a much better game than halo 2. in addition to a guy who can flip a friggin tank but cant seem to throw a grenade three feet in front of him.

My two cents:

First of all, there is NO DOUBTING THE PISTOLS SUPERIORITY IN HALO. It is the most well-rounded gun, having a decent fire rate with decent damage and decent range. People realized just how good it was and started using it. It has no real shortcomings, as all aspects of it are decent.

However, people treat it as a god weapon, and it is not so. While the pistol can decimate, it takes a whackload of practise and steady aim. There are other good guns too, and the game never "revolved" around the pistol. It was simply a "gun for all seasons", if you will, as rarely would you find a situation where you regretted taking the pistol. Still, it is not the centerpiece of Halo. If you ask me, if a game revolves around a certain weapon, it's not a very good game. To me, the game's centerpiece was it's two-weapon style, its sleek controls and intense firefights as a result of the recharging shields (Legendary in both Halo and Halo 2 is the most fun thing I have ever done).

So, to sum it up, the M6D was good, but people whine and fondle it way too much about it.

The M6D is what you use on Halo, OK? the M6C, is An EARLIER MODEL. that is why it is called stripped down.

When bungie (or anyone for that matter) says the pistol is cheap, they make it sound like everyone could get a TSK like snap. When in actuality, only skillful players could pull clutch TSK's when it was necessary. In halo 2, when someone approaches you and they've already gotten your shields slightly down there is little chance that you'll be able to take that person or 2 or three people like (unlike halo 1 IF YOU HAD SKILLS). Now some may say, "but its more realistic". My argument is WHO CARES... its a VIDEOGAME , if Bungie was striving for realisticness they wouldn't have made it so MC can take a clip of assault rifle but can't even take a few punches. Its more fun how it was (you'll notice that better players agree with that statement), and if its not broken .. don't fix it.

The pistol in Halo was the bomb. When Bunjie was creating weapons for the 2500's do you think they would create a pistol similar to the ones used in our time, or make one more provable to the date in their game ? Of course they would make them superior. They most likely didn't make them available for dual weilding in Halo 2 because you could dominate with 2 of them.

Bungie eliminated the pistol because they said there was nothing that could beat it, which is not true.

personally, i just figure that if you brag and gloat about how good you are, then you pick up the pistol, it sorta says "i'm not good at this game at all! i have to use the cheapest weapon in the game to win!" in my mind, the only person who has bragging rights is the one who kills the pistol user with the assault rifle.

uh, why would that give you bragging rights? the AR is a good gun, and it is quite capable of killing a pistoleer

I guess no one actually hated it based on the responses in this thread. I know that's not true.

Desert Eagle fires .50 calibre rounds. Which would obviously be more powerful than the Halo 1 pistol. Especially if you added explosives for impact.

Moral of the story: Gauss Hog for President.

Three_Shot, you are still on that damn Desert Eagle Kick? Give it a rest, the Desert Eagle is not accurate at the ranges the Halo 1 pistol is. It is in fact a pretty inaccurate gun, there is so much force behind the bullet that firing one is a chore, and it should only be used a close range.
