I know there is another thread almost the same as this one, but it seems to be a bit "high tempered".

The problem with the pistol in Halo 1 was that too many people took advantage of it's power, and ultimately, you never survived in prisoner snipers for long. ( In Frankie's case, he would have to kill himself if he survived for longer than 5 seconds!! )

[color=red]But[/color], can you imagine a first person shooter, without a pistol?

[color=red]So,[/color] if a new pistol were invented it wouldn't be so dominating.

Post your opinions here.

[color=red]E.G. I want a less powerful pistol with no scope and a silencer.[/color]

dude just give me dual 9mm pistols and ill pwn me some covies. I dont care about power, I want ROF and ammo. I want a pistol similar to the falcon 2(from perfect dark), that was absolutly the best pitol in any game ever.

Tone down the accuracy, pry off the scope, weaken the damage, add a silencer... now there's how a pistol should be.

EDIT: And as Death said, increase the RoF so it could still be somewhat balanced.

And keep it more accurate than the SMG, of course.

I heard in a preview that the pistol would be toned down to match it's counterparts.

Human=Covenant
Battle Rifle=Covenant Carbine
SMG=Plasma Rifle+Needler
Pistol=Plasma Pistol
Sniper Rifle=Unknown but mentioned Covenant Sniper Rifle
Rocket Launcher=Maybe the Brutes Slug Thrower

Well, 9mm's would suck in this day and age, but why not add a silencer, I want to sneak into a room of enemies, shoot out the lights, melee the elites, sneakily shoot the jackals ( silencer attatched ) and then switch to my SMG and finish off the grunts.

BTW: I probably wouldn't have to switch. because of dual-wielding.

umm why would 9mm,s? suck? just because they are small that means nothing except the fact that I can pump em out as fast as I can press the trigger. the smg fires 9mm rounds I think. Imagine if you have dual weilded 9mm pistols with a clip of 15 or more, with that much you could easily drop down an elite or two with that.

Just to tell you, the SMG fires caseless ammunition... though I agree about the 9mm, they would not be obsolete, they simply would have their +/-, for example, you could hold more ammo.

They'd suck because 500 years after they were used, they wouldn't be powerful enough, and the size of the bullet is puny. MC's hands prolly couldn't fit in the ( hand/trigger guard? )
