Everyone knows in Halo 1, when you take the pistol out how MC holds it vertically for a split second as he -blam!- it back. Looks like exactly that is being done in the screen.

I know the SMG reticle is on screen, as it is also pictured in the HUD in the upper right corner. Keep in mind this is a beta version of the game and everything may not switch in perfect synch. Plus it's fun to speculate.....

Hopefully I don't provoke Bungie into some massive lawsuit against this website.

I dont see a point to this. All your saying is that the smg tilts up for a second

You completely missed the entire point.

I'm saying whatever MC is doing in that screen looks incredibly similar to what he does in Halo 1 when you switch to the pistol. I'm saying the fact that the HUD shows an SMG reticle may not totally rule the pistol out, as it's a beta version and all the bugs haven't been worked out yet.

Actually, that is a smg. Notice the notch (or whatever you call that thing thats sticking out) on the side of the gun, that belongs to the smg.

Pistol has 'em too (in Halo 1 anyways)

There are little nubs on each side of the barrel.

Look I'm not trying to say "Whooo look everyone the pistol is for sure in Halo 2" but this is certainly the closest resemblance seen yet, no?

Ok I'm on drugs. It looks nothing like the animation from Halo 1, I just made the whole thing up. God, why would anyone bother to speculate on these forums anyways...that'd just be silly.

Its also SILLY to speculate upon such blind statements.
The HUD shows the ammo counter with around 40 rounds and the symbol has the SMG.


No speculation is required, through the process of observation, it is obvious the weapons seen in that picture is an SMG.

The HUD is iffy, as we've seen versions now with no weapons in them, no health bar (just a shield), and also screens with a pic of the weapon you're currently using and the one that is holstered (the one w/ the shotty where you can see a plasma rifle in the upper right corner)...

OTOH the more I look the more I'm thinking I agree w/ you.....I want a friggin' pistol dag nabbit.

I have a feeling Bungie giving the pistol a major make-over, hence the absence of its appearence to date.

does the weapon on the screen look like a massive black vibrator to anyone else?

Yeah I think we can be pretty certain that if it returns, it will not be unchanged. No more Tsking people left and right :(

Though I wouldn't be surprised to see a 'pistols' gametype in multi, as the weapon is immensely popular I can't believe they'd totally forget about it.

well they would do to the fact of it being over powered and if you dont think it was well how come it beats a AR when Assault Rifles are supposed to be better then a pistol.

Who the hell said ARs are supposed to be better than the pistol? They're very wrong.

Look, if you've ever played anyone who's good at halo, then you know the pistol is THE weapon. I can't see Bungie totally ignoring it in Halo 2, even if they just put a special gametype in for old time's sake.
