"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something, but I can't accept not trying." - M. Jordan

The new pistol is the battlerifle, if you stop and think about it. Think about how good, acctually fantastic a job Bungie does of balancing out weapons. Uh the pistol killed it three head shots. Only up close it was harder to get those three head shots. The battle rifle shoots crazy burts of three that up close would mean all would be like a instant kill to another player. Then the zoom would be like you have to work for the three head shots and thus get the same feel as the 2x zoom as the Halo pistol.......

Plus the SMG is gonna take the place of the regular assault rifle, only like taking its place and the destroying the -blam!- out of the assault rifle.

I think its good as far as balancing goes, but they still need some sort of Pistol IMO. I have always been a fan of pistols. Being accurate is always a sure sign of an Elite player in ANY FPS, and the Pistol is good about rubbing it another's face.

Har har har.

They could still add the AR, just modify it a bit so it could be more accurate and slower firing rate than the smg, also more powerful (no dual wield).

As for the pistol, I am sure there will be some sort of pistol, what kind of game has no pistol.

The battle rifle is the battle rifle. The battle rifles job is to replace the AR.
The pistol is the pistol, and the SMG is the SMG.

They definetly will not put the pistol as it was in the first Halo!! It was the one unbalanced weapon in the game.

Edit: The magnum seems to be the most likely replacement candidate.
