a few facts for those of us that are blind...and guess what the pistol is not gone, but it is toned down. that should satisfy everyone. and if you havnt caught on with my other posts, here it is again...
pistol-12 rounds
battlerifle-12 shots(of three bullets adding to the equivalent in power of one pistol shot)
pistol-has a 2x scope
battle rifle- has a 2x scope
pistol-crappy melee and reload
battle rifle-better melee and a faster reload
pistol-would be one handed in halo2 and would allow you to hold 2
battle rifle- two handed so you cant hold 2
and the cheapness with the pistol was not close range or medium range, it was the fact that you could do a three shot kill from anywhere on the map[excluding across BG]. the battle rifle has a burst fire, so you cant get all three to hit the head. and now that there are more shields, it might even take 4 shots, though im unsure about that.
one more note-the pistol requied two body shots and the last one a headshot. so it doesnt even take skill, you just needed one headshot after two body shots. everyone one who said it requires skill, you obviously havnt played the other weapons enough. and the shot gun-takes a little skill, but its not that good at all ranges...its just the opposite of the sniperrifle.
one last note-the SR has been toned down as well, to make it more skillful. you have to rescope after each scoped shot. this doesnt effect non-scoped shots obvilosly...i told my friend this, and he said he was just going to have to get a headshot on me everytime now. ha.
