This is mostly a question for you guys who have played Halo 2 out there. The pistol was pretty cheap at times when I played halo pc, especially when i played 1 v 1 and the host had a 56k and kept on owning me cause only I lagged. It had too much damage, too accurate, and you could shoot people half way across the map. (dont turn this into some sort of flame post telling me the pistol was fair and all....thats your opinion, keep it to yourself in this thread) I was thinking the battle rifle was a lot like the pistol, especially zoomed in it shot pretty much the same by the look of it. I dont know about the damage or anything else though so it probably wont be as "good" as the pistol. People who played Halo 2 at E3, what do you guys think (and yeah the rest of you too :-D)?

The pistol wasn't cheap. The pistol was good.

well u have to be good with the pistol to use its power. even though it was far ranged u have to be able to HIT them in the head. the battle rifle is based on the pistol inmy opinion. scope and single shot but the main diffeence is the three shot burst when ur un zoomed

ps- the pistol was a one whepon killing machine

No it's less accurate and less powerful and with the new maps and balance it wont dominate like the old M6D in Halo 1.

How could it be less accurate than the pistol?

It's a rifle...

My guess is (on the single shot) that it will do less damage but it will have a faster rate of fire.

The battle rifle is going to be frickin awesome though...can't wait.

Yeah, but the real problem I had with the pistol is that it was a tiny little death machine. I wouldn't mind much about the BR 'cause its a standard issuse rifle. I do know what you are talking about tho, the BR shouldn't be so invincible as the pistol.

the battle rifle is basicly an improved pistol with more bullets per clip. the new pistol in halo 2 doesnt have a scope, and is less powerful
