I think theres somthing wrong with my copy of halo or something. When i play on XBC i always get pwned by people who use pistols. i shoot back but they just dont seems to die. So i tested out how many shots it took to kill someone. I made a split screen match and made 2 players, i got the pistol, walked right up to my the other MC, and nailed him directly in the head. it tooks 6 shots to kill him. And many people have stated that it only takes 3 head shots. Is my game messed up or am i doing something wrong?

Are you sure you shot him in the head? Just go right up to someone and shoot the glass on the helmet. You should be able to kill someone with one shot to the head if their shield is gone no matter how much health % is on. You also may have a higher % on the shield. You don't have to shoot someone the head 3 tiems to kill them. You can shoot 2 pistol shots anywhere their body but that third shot needs to hit the head. So the game isn't messsed up, it's just you and your gametype, lol.

on xbconnect, halo gameplay sometimes goes crazy....like i shot this guy with a shotgun (i was hosting) once and he was at least 100 feet away, that would be about the hill near the front tree at blue base and i would be on the overshield.....and he died instantly.....and the gametype was normal.....then once when i wasnt hosting people would never die.....its just the host has to have a good connection or it gets all screwed up

Actually I'm pretty damn sure that ALL 3 shots need to hit the hit...I'd bet money on it. Head shots=more damage, not just to health but to shield as well (you can tell this because a sniper kills elites in one hit if you hit them perfectly in the head)

Drez first two shots with the pistol can hit anywhere as long as the third shot hits the head. go goof around in a MP game and you'll see it's true.
