i heard that there was not going to be a pistol in halo 2. Is that true? Or is it a bunch of B.S.

The pistol will be in Halo 2 but not the same model originally found from Halo.

I'm pretty sure theres a pistol in Halo 2. i heard that its going to be a little less powerfull than in the first game though.

I'm going to go on record saying that I believe there won't be a pistol or assault rilfe the H2. I'm not saying I'm right, but if I'm wrong, feel free to rub it in my face. ^_-

It just doesn't make sense balance-wize for the game to include it (the pistol). All of the weapons in the first game were (arguably) balanced to the point of never having any weapon being inherently superior. "Toning down" the pistol's usefulness would contradict this design philosophy. True, Bungie did say that all weapons would return in the sequel, but they never said in the same form. The pistol and AR have essentially reversed roles in the form of the BR and SMG.
I'm not saying they couldn't make it work, I'm saying they probably won't.

Cronin's Law----The New Flood Drinking Game

the MA5b 7.62mm carbine and the M6d 12.7mm HE pistol have not been specifically confirmed, we already know for a fact that there is at least one assault rifle in the game (no name given as of yet other than the battle rifle), and since having a standard-issue sidearm is essential to any military, i personally beleive that there will be at least one pistol, though whether or not the M6d will return has yet to be seen.
