You dont need to lead...You only need to lead with the sniper rifle and the rocket launcher. The pistol hits you instanly.

The pistol wasnt a balanced weapon a pistol isnt supposed to be a sniper and also would you choose a plasma pistol over a regular pistol of course not because the plasma pistol sucks. Now you get it it wasnt even balanced with in its own category.

The pistol is not "more powerful" than other weapons it is simply more flexible. And yes, unless you get close to me with the rocket launcher I would wax you with the pistol. It hass great range, quick firing and only takes 3 shots to kill. The RL is great close up or when someone doesn't see it coming. I can jump and dodge a rocket from distance all day. (edit) Sorry this is my last post with you because it's a waste of time to argue with someone who lacks the ability to understand anything besides their narrow view.


I agree. This is a complete waste of time, arguing with such pompous, arrogant, immature, narrow-minded flamers.

ShadedHalo, If you really believe the pistol is a great weapon and should'nt be removed, go over to Bungie Studios and complain to them, but dont waste our time posting it to people who cant change it.

However, since you seem so eager to get into an "Intellectual Argument", keep posting topics such as these, and I guarantee you will get just what is coming to you.

Besides, this is just a game, so why do you become angry with fellow members? Three days into your membership, and you are already flaming people and starting arguments. Thats not what this site is about, man!

People visit this site to enjoy the games Bungie has developed over the years, and to share with others their favorite games, levels, helpful advice, etc. No one wants to come here to listen to your ranting on and on about how unintelligent other members are! I mean, telling Captain Ferrell and Kamizar that their opinions are idiotic and unimportant? Their opinions are no less important than yours are! Nothing here makes you any better!

What is it that makes you think you are better than all of us? Is it that you began this topic? Or is it your great pistol skills? It shouldnt be anything, nothing here should make you feel any better than us.

Actually, I feel sorry for you. That you spend your time bragging to others and putting them down. Thats not really a good way to start a membership here, but hey, what do I know? My opinion is "the most idiotic respose you have ever heard" and thus "my opinion doesnt matter at all."

I hate to knock you off your high tower here, but I promise you that everyone in here would more or less agree with me. Oh, and even more. If you can flat out ell everyone in this forum that you are in fact better than them, and could own them with the pistol, I envy you.
I envy that just by reading a persons Screen Name and Post, you can immediately descipher their Multiplayer skills, and whether or not your are more talented then thay are. That is just amazing

That is all
Farewell

That was the most idiotic response I have ever heard, yes people can kill someone in 4 seconds or less because they have skill with it. Tell me this there captain obvious, how long does it take you to kill someone with a Rocket Launcher? Less than 4 seconds? Wait wait.. what about the Sniper Rifle.. ahh.. less than 4 seconds. Hold on.. the shotgun, ah yes.. less than 4 seconds. The plasma rifle.. right at 4 seconds. The only problem is the pistol is the only one out of these that require skill. The pistol is the answer to the RL.. if someone is coming at you with a RL do you take them out with your AR? Well if its you I am sure I could but still.. the pistol is there to let you be able to overtake more powerful weapons, so no it's not overpowered cause its just capable of doing anything another weapon is capable do it, it's just more abundant in use cause people spawn with it. Don't get in an intellectual argument with me, you will lose.


Well, you obviously made this topic to hear the opinions of other people, but yet when someone disagrees with you, you get all rangy at them.

Also, don't whine about what Bungie improves on, if they wish to replace the pistol with the Battle Rifle or the Magnum, so be it, it's their game and they allow us to play it. If you don't like what they are doing with Halo, I have a suggestion for you, dont play it. You can always play Whacked instead, that seems like a more appropriate game for someone of your immaturity. Bottom line is, don't complain about little things such as this, consider Halo a gift and quit taking it for grantit. I am seeing way too many people whining and griping about things such as this, but have faith in Bungie, they steered the right direction with Halo, have faith they will do so with Halo 2.

And once again, don't rag on people because they dont agree with you, its a really dumb decision.

dude not being g@y but i love you dude for writing this down know one has every made a forum about this but true the pistol and the sniper should remain the same but the sniper looks a lil futuristic but if bungie no offensee had some sense left in them with taking out some good things that made prt 1 great like the tank in Sp and the pistol and the Ar but bungie should have seperate rifles like the AR and the Brifle but bungie doesnt care about our ideas but dude the pistol required some great skill just to lock on some 1 from long range and pop them in the head without double zoom the gun is great and now it is possibly gun (snif** sniff =( )

2 kills a clip dude are you serious your a very idealistic person but in this part your wrong me with a pistol i could mow down 7 dudes with one clip no reload across the map no zoom if your skilled with a pistol more then 2 kills a clip and your a pistol master if you kill pple across the map with no zoom a master

It is impossible to "mow down 7 dudes with one clip"

It is a 12 round clip, and it takes at least three shots to make a kill.

Think before you speak, and be ready to prove it.

Hey dude, dude, you dude could stop saying the word dude, dude.

Anyways, there is no way in Halo you could destroy 7 enemies with one magazine, its impossible. Even if your accuracy is near perfect which could be possible, its not that easy to kill an opponant. It takes like 3 shots to destroy the shield, and another 3 shots to kill the opponant. Which means 6 rounds, or half a magazine to kill an opponant. 2 eliminations per magazine means your idea of killing 7 enemies with one magazine is, well, impossible.

When exactly did you pull this seven man kill? Was it on a team match? Becaue if it wasnt, I don't see how you could have done this. Then again, I don't see how could you have done this anyways, based on the fact that it's just impossible. Give up, admit you didnt do it, and I promise we wont hurt you.....much.

Heh, im just messing, but seriously, it isn't possible to do this, and you know it.

Well if your talking about no shields then it probably makes a little more sense.

Well, if this was deathmatch, and all seven were across the map, they had to have been attacking each other, so you don't get all the credit.
