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.
