First of all, the pistol is good at all ranged because it feels a void where other weapons can't go, because of that people say its overpowered. On outdoor levels if you didn't have the pistol or sniper you'd have to try and get as close to your enemy as possible to fight or use vehicles which is even worse. Yes... the pistol was needed in Halo: CE but with new weapons and add-ons it may not be needed in Halo 2, HOWEVER.. another weapon will take presidence over the pistol and the n00bs will put it in the same category.
Now onto the guy who was talking about 'dunking, meleeing, double meleeing, throwing a grenade'. I have saw you put that same identical line on three or four post, give us a break. You make yourself like even more of a n00b with crap like that. It doesn't take a genius to figure out how to duck a melee and how easy a double melee is to master, it's not as easy as 3 head shots with a pistol. You're nothing special cause you think you can do this all the time and think its just amazing. You probably did this once in a game and think you're God for something most players do on the regular, it's natural instinct. I wasn't talking about what real Halo skill is, I was simply putting it's NO problem to avoid pistol shots by strafing. So you made yourself look like a fool.
Why am I an ass? Because I have my opinion, nobody will change that... I don't really care if the pistol is gonna be in Halo 2 cause there will be another weapon that can be mastered and do the same job. I am just saying in Halo: CE, which this forum isn't about, that the pistol is not overbalanced and nobody I've played with believes it is. Where this guy gets off calling someone on XbConnect a poor sport I have no idea, I didn't know I mentioned someone on XBC. If I do ever get on I don't host so that I do have the pistol lag, so whoever I am playing can't complain about the pistol like you buncha idiots.
