i think that bungie should keep the pistol in Halo 2 its not overpowered for one major reason first you only have 12 shots so u can blast all out the only people that think its over powered are the ones that dont realy know how to use it the only way it might be unbalnced is if you have one in each hand in Halo 2 comment please i would appriciate any thoughts.

That whole thing is in one sentence! And the pistol is overpowered, and I use it just fine.

My idea for new pistol

Magnum Pistol. Less accurate, horrendus recoil and muzzle flash, 7 round clip, no scope

i took most of my ideas from FS

... it IS overpowered and has a scope, pistols were never supposed to have scopes, they surely dont today, i know its overpowered cause im good with it and i hate being good with it because... its evil.

the fact that u think that pro's dont think its over powered makes any further comments u have void. anyone who's ever played other fps's or shot real guns can clearly see that the pistol in halo iss a fluke and overpowered. a pistol should never be the best gun in a game, do u think marines, the army or any military force charges into combat pistol first? no, so please, get over urself n00b and that goes for everyone else, and please, this is the 3rd "pistol in h2" thread today, no more

I think with all of the new weapons we wont have to really on such a powerful side arm. It is overpowered because i use it alot i think that a side arm shoudnt turn into a weapon of choice it shuold be a back up or used for a different range.

Wait wait wait. You've shot a gun before, and that makes your statement somehow more credible?

i appriciate the quite coment and you didnt flame and that actualy makes since but pistols even today if you want to compere halo to real life are given to high ranking officers and yes they do use them when they go into battle or even two of them one in each hand

True but Pistols Are NOT supposed to be Primary Weapons

yes he is a high ranking officer if youve read the books he does not use a pistol as a primary weapon

High ranking officers do not go into battle, the officers who do go into battle (Corporals, Lieutenants, Sargeants and any I may have missed out) will be armed just like everybody else, and that is usually with a high powered automatic rifle!
Also all you gotta do is zoom in with the BR and you have your old Halo:CE pistol back!

oh man dude, look if u want more fiction in a game (i.e. pistols rule and rifles suck) u should definutely switch genres all together, u know theres always room for punks like u on EQ

Ok if all of you haven't noticed, Halo isn't real life, it doesn't have to fit into real life standards. Maybe in the future the pistol will be a primary weapon and have a scope, who knows, and its not for you people to decide. The pistol is used more than any other weapon because you spawn with it and its about the only weapon you can counter a sniper with unless you get close. No it's not overpowered, it fits into the weapon choices in Halo and it balances out other weapons. Bungie did a great job in how each weapon can cancel out another. Halo is not like other FPS's, it doesn't have to be and any of you that wants it to be then simply -blam!- off and play another game. Oh yeah dude calling people n00bs.. you're an IDIOT.. of course the pistol is used a lot, you spawn with it if generic weapons are on. Who gives a rat's ass if the marines don't use it? Why does it have to be so realistic? All of you who keep saying this take crap way too seriously, you keep acting like Halo is based on today, its based on the FUTURE and none of you know what will happen in the future. I won't even get into how the pistol is balanced but any other weapon can take it out and yes it requires skill and the ones of you who says it doesn't are the ones who get owned by it. If you get owned by it, then get good with it, use another weapon and counter it, or just don't play people better than you. It will be in Halo 2 and it might be toned down but along with the battle rifle it will still be one of the most used weapons so get over it and if you don't like getting owned with it then don't play.

So all you n00bs -blam!-ing, GET OVER IT! If you don't like it don't play Halo.
