How is it that in Legendary you can drill an Elite 6 times in the head with a pistol bullet and not drop him?
The reason why you don't kill him is because they want to make it difficult, and they do that in 3 ways:
more/harder enemies
faster rate of enemy fire
tougher enemies
You might complain, but Ledgendary is meant to be difficult, and 6 pistol shots to an elite's head doesn't sound like too much hard work.
Especially the Golds and the Black Elites! If you are a Spartan and you run off the same energy shield platform how is the pistol so effective in multi-player? It should take the same amount! Any FPS I can think of has pistols as secondary weapons!
Again with the difficulty. Gold and Black elites have stronger shields to make them more difficult to overcome. Also, traditionally, higher ranked soldiers had better weapons/equipment/armour.
Halo isn't just your average FPS, and doesn't comply with any 'FPS rules', like maps for example, or bosses, and so the point about what over FPSes do is irrelevent.
guess I sound bitter, but I'm sick of people leaving games because I don't have pistols and radar on. Does anyone ever use plasma, or had a good old shoot out with assualt rifles? I want to have fun, and I want people to have fun!
I can live without the radar, and not everyone considers blasting people with an AR or Plasma rifle fun. That's your opinion, not everyone elses, and to expect everyone to think in the same way is a little stupid, to be blunt.
Dying in 2-5 sec. is not fun, especially for Noobs! I want Bungie to fix this. -blam!- the "trusty pistol!" I want to have fun again at a game I love...
If you're a n00b, you need to get better. Hell, many years ago, when I first picked up Halo, I sucked at it. I'd die many times, sometimes in quick sucession, but I gradually got better. It teaches you what to do and what not to do, and clearly you don't go charging straight on at a pistol-wielding guy, like I've seen many n00bs do. It makes a headshot very easy, and that's one reason why they die so quick.
And in PC, the pistol is over powered because gearbox sped it ip.
