Personally i find the pistol to be a great weapon, and no one can argue that, a good rof, alrite clip size, deadly accurate, and powerfull. It rules almost all the rest, and is great for sp. But when you croos over to mp, it begins to get a little too good. You can kill with 4 shots, from across most maps. Death to all!! While killing people is great, i dont like how powerfull it is. Being one who plays online a good amount of time, i loathe the pistol. The fact that its has the most powerfull/accurate ratio, and you start off with it 9 times out of 10, makes it very easy to use. And almost all the time it turns into a strafing back and forth, fire fight, at long distances. And it forces you to use it. Mabye the sniperrifle, or rocket launcher u can use, But even with the sniper rifle, if you dont get the drop on them, its useless. Your roaming with a shotgun, and begin to get fired on by a pistol, you have no choice but to switch to the pistol. Pistol, pistol, pistol. Always the friggin pistol. You always have to have it with you. A plasma rifle shotgun combo? Hell no. Without a pistol you have no chance, even in a stand still fire fight with and ar, or plasma rifle, the pistol will frag you.Its just too good. Ironicly it is the best, but that's its downfall. Making it far too unballenced. Hopefully the battle rifle is differnt, and better.
That is a lie! The pistol is BY FAR the worst weapon I've ever used, it's the first weapon I dump in SP. The best weapon is the needler. I don't get what the people mean by it has a slow rate of fire, it has a fine rate of fire and you just need to pump a elite full of the crap and he dies, by far the best!
