Ok number one, Sidewinder? Who the HELL is talking about Sidewinder? lol.. I never play Sidewinder, rarely play BG because I hate vehicle maps cause vehicles require little skill. In fact I hate Sidewinder, and BG is third on my list of hates behind SW and Chiron. I don't go to 6v6 tournaments, If anything it's 4v4 or 2v2 on real maps, such as Hang em', Chill Out, Prisoner, Damnation, so forth.. but not Sidewinder or BG. CTF is much funner when it involves a long run back with your teammate guarding your back than it would be jumping in a ghost and hauling ass. I mostly play TS tho.
Ok onto your side arm comment, what about Halo is realistic? It involves aliens, what Bungie wants a weapon to do, it does.. who's to say in the future pistols don't have better range than AR's? Besides it makes sense to me than a pistol has better range than an AR. Your comment about the pistol outweighing its pros more than its cons, of course it does... you have to have a weapon to fill the voids, because the pistol fills those voids doesn't mean it's overpowered, it doesn't mean it's the best in the game, it just means, like every other weapon, it has its best situations. If the pistol didn't exist you do realize Halo would have very little midrange battles, at least ones that didn't last 2 minutes a piece. Bungie put the pistol in in order to feel these voids and quite frankly who gives a rat's ass about what it's 'supposed' to be, why does a great game have to fit into stereotypes?
I'm not arrogant either I just know my weapons and I know there is easy counters to every weapon, wether it be the pistol, the RL, the Sniper.. whatever.. and you know why there is counters? Because Bungie put weapons in that would counter each other, without the pistol there would be a big void and Halo would not have been near as successful. So before all of you who get pwned by the pistol flame it, think about Halo without it and if you'd really love it as much.
In conclusion your comments about Sidewinder, Bud I play maps that require skill, not the ability to run over people. I don't play SW nor BG and where you got that from I have no idea but you simply made yourself look like an idiot. 6v6 is also the most uncommon tournament I've heard of, no major tournaments play that crap, the most they do is 4v4. There is tournaments based on large driving maps and all CTF games I spose but they are looked on as 'noob tourneys' and aren't the skilled tournaments I was speaking of. The ones that require team strategy and being better at Halo than your opponent to win, not being faster to grab something and drive back with it.
PS:
I know you may all find this very very hard to believe, BUT.. there is more maps on Halo than Sidewinder and Blood Gulch! *gasp*
