I LOVE the pistol. It kicks major ass! Shoot them with an overcharged Plasma pistol and then shoot them once in the head. You can kill 12 people with one clip like that (if you are a good shot)

PS Normally I'm not this much of a jerk. But I really hate the pistol and people that defend it. Why do you think its getting dropped in Halo 2? ITS A SCREWED UP WEAPON!


What makes you think they are dropping the pistol in Halo 2? They haven't said anything about it either way. And what do you have against the pistol. I accept almost everyones beliefs, and if you feel that the pistol is too overpowered to use, then that's fine. But please don't complain about others using it. If there is anything I hate about people I play in Halo is that they complain way too much. If you don't like playing with other people (who will most likely use the pistol), don't play. Either play and deal with it or don't, it's pretty simple.

I personally love to stay updated with Halo 2, and I would love to learn everything there is about it. However, I don't take rumors as truth, therefore, I only believe in official news by Bungie. If you do have real information on the pistol not being in Halo 2 I would love to know. So if you could please look this up for me if you have the time, I would greatly appreciate it.

Oh, and if you could refrain from using taunts and/or insults directed at me or anybody else it would make posting much more enjoyable for all. Thank you.

The best combo (for me, anyway) is a Plasma rifle (or shotgun) and the pistol. Pistol = high range and power, plasma rifle takes shields down fast, and shotgun is hecka good at close range. Oh, and the plasma pistol can take down an overshield in one hit, so if you want it take it.

I like to play 50% health with sheilds and only rifles to get rid of pistols...I hate how every other weapon in the game is balanced EXCEPT the M6D!!!!

yeah,elfstone has a good point. eventually everyone is going to use the pistol so you might as well get good with it.

I love how everybody says the pistol is unfair... lol I just get a sniper and blam! one shot.

Last time I checked 3>1 so that means the sniper can kill you in less shots from any distance as long as you dont suck ass.

Damn. I actually did try to find it but I couldn't get the crap to work. On Xbox.com, they have their own Halo 2 forum. It's total garbage and filled spam 24/7. But they do have a sticky thread that's nothing but Halo 2 Q and A of useful stuff. It wasn't working right. And you have to log in. I think that's where I read it. Not positive. But I know its a fact.


Bungie was considering removing it. Nothing is for certain, but we'll know when the game gets out. I'm pretty sure that they were considering downsizing the power, not total removal. Sure as heck want to see that souped p pistol in First Strike, though. Slugs the size of a Spartan's thumb.

Even if the pistol does return in Halo 2, remember that the battle armor has improved. Double shields, or so the rumour is. We're looking at 5 headshots. Now, even that is a bit powerful, but all that Bungie needs to do is make the pistols a little bit less powerful, and we are looking at as many as 7 headshots to kill one guy. Maybe more.

If you ask me, that's not as "overpowered" as you guys would like to think. It would take major skill to get off that many headshots.

Pistol is overpowerd, to easy to get kills... i cant use it or i wont have anyone to play with.
It's demoralizing to be beaten main-stream by me because you'll hate never being given a chance... so i go GOLD in colour and run around being a dick ...still win 25-8 but atleast my friends have a chance and stick around to play more.

Elfstone you ever played split-screen in anygame and just have your friends say " Fuk it" and walk out and never play again unless they're on your team?

Anyone who's any good will suffer this too. Otherwise you dont know what truely being owned is all about.
