Has anyone found any evidence of the return of the human pistol in Halo 2? I have not seen any renders, news, screenshots, etc. as of yet. I hope it wasn't phased out by the battle rifle, with it's 2x scope and incresed range. If any one knows ANYTHING on the return of the pistol, please post.

Note: i realize the battle rifle replaces the assault rifle, but the scope and increased range may also phase out the pistol. My whole reason for wishing for the pistol's return is DUAL WIELDING. the battle rifle is two handed. pistol is one handed.

There probably will be a pistol, just not the same one... it was too unbalanced, + the BR is a good thing, and if the BR is as powerful as the old pistol, at least it makes more sense that way as the BR is a rifle, not a pistol.

The BR is a replacement for the Assault Rifle, not the Pistol.

Then what will the difference be between the BR and pistol if they choose to leave the pistol as is (scope, super-powered, uber accurate).

I got it off another thread, but I can't remember who posted it. If I can find the thread again I'll post a render of the ammo.

Who says the BR is "super-powered"?

And "uber accurate"... what? That doesn't even make sense.

Note the word if.

And what I meant by the super powered stuff is that the pistol was super powered for a pistol in the first game, and if they kept it in the second game, it would still be super-powered, and it would be almost exactly the same as the BR, except if anything it would make sense that the BR would be even MORE accurate and super-powered. In other words I never said that the BR is super powered.

There had better be a pistol in Halo 2. I am unstopable with the pistol. Its the best all purpose weapon in the whole game!

However, having rethought that last statement. There's probably no need for the pistol now that the assualt rifle has a 2x zoom and can fire semi-auto as well as full auto.

the difference is this -- the battle rifle is a two handed weapon. the pistol is one handed. the pistol would be great for dual wielding.

whaa u ne or somethin cause the AR has not been
confirmed and no word on A 2x zoom or semi and full auto
we dont even know if it will return, but... we will have the
BR wich has i think 4x or some zoom power and
single and burst fire ( burst when in scope mode
burst when out of scope.)

Ya, he was probably thinking about the BR.

If it was official I would guarantee it would be on Bungie.net... yet it isn't, so most likely it is fan art... also consider the fact that Bungie never commented on the pistol...

Edit: Also, if you look at the web address, it says "userpics" in it.

For christs sake, the BR isnt the AR replacement, the SMG IS, LOW ACCURACY, HIGH AMMO CAPACITY? Smg...DUH, The BR is the pistol replacement, 2x zoom, semiauto fire, its just upgraded into an M-16 style weapon. I think it'd be a more balanced twist with 2 AR style weapons than the over used pistol combo.
