Despite the M6D being a .50 cal. I don't know what I would use more. It all depends on the situation at hand.

Can you even imagine how cheap it would be if they brought the old pistol back to Halo 2? Especially with duel weilding!

If the Pistol came back unchanged for Halo 2 the Battle Rifle would stand no chance because the three shot deaths would still apply while the BR shots would take alot more to kill (smaller mm ammo more bullets less accurate)

BR seems to have a larger clip. both seem to have the same power. both have same zoom. BR, though, has bigger clip.

the M6D is being taken out, but i think there's a new pistol. it doesn't have a zoom, but it has a much bigger calibar, and is more like a pistol rather than the sniper pistol of halo1

i thought i remember someone saying that teh BR ammo and the pistol ammo are exactly the same also.....

1) the accuracy seems the same when zoomed as the pistol

2) the zoomed affect on the BR seems to have near to as or the same amount of potency as the pistol

The battle rifle IS the new pistol. Like the first demo every released for halo 2, the battle rifle was shown basically the pistol. Cuse one shot killed a grunt in the head and 2 around the chest area. SO ya, br is the new pistol and its still just as good zoomed.

I have yet to here Bungie state this. So far there is zero concrete evidnce provided by Bungie that this little replacement is correct. So don't assume that it is gone just yet.
