Many people complain about how the M6D pistol in Halo 1 was "overpowered". In the single player it's is practically useless agains't Elites. It was overmatched by the plasma weapons that simply tore thru covenant shielding. Then I realized something the reason the covenant weapons rip thru their shields is cause their technology is mean't to be resistant to OUR weapons. What if that had something to do with the pistols power after all the MJONIR armor and shield aren't designed to resist human weapons. Also will this play a part in Halo 2 multiplayer where a Spartan or Elite would be encouraged to pick a diversified arsenal. What if in Halo 2 MP it would be the same as Halo 1 was I think that would appeal to all those who want differences between MP characters.

for halo 2 MP, Bungie has already said that the difference bewtween the Spartans and Elites is purely cosmetic. this means that the game is perfectly balanced.

however, in single-player it is possible, though I can't imagine a Grunt picking up a sniper rifle or an Elite firing an AR

So far it sounds like Bungie is divided on making the MP characters different. When EGM asked three different Bungie employees they got three different replies so it's up in the air.

Halo: CE was perfectly balanced. I dont know how anyone can say that a specific weapon was overpowered, because there is a counter to every weapon.

My opinion is that they should add a jack knife or pocket knife to use as a secondary weapon if you pick it up
