the psitol is the best weapon in Halo and i assume most of the poeple that played halo learned to use it well and taking it away for Hlao2 would make playing halo useless.

>KaPING<

perhaps put it in multiplayer. multyplayer can always use a large variety of weapons.

i dissagree, removing the pisotol would not make halo2 useless....no reason to make a second game if its just going to be the same as the first. and with the zoom on the new assult and dual weapons.....theres going to be lots of options with or without it.

IMO, the battle rifle will take over the role played by the pistol in Combat Evolved. (medium-range accuracy weapon). So, I think that the pistol should, in the sequel, be turned into a close-combat weapon with more damage pr shot, lower accuracy and heftier sound etc etc.

Well i can't see why a gun should be the most powerful weapon in a game!

I say keep it. It is a very good weapon. Say there are 5 grunts and two Elites about 30 feet away(And you don't have a Sniper Rifle). You can't exactly take them all on with an Assault Rifle. Especially on Legendary. It's too weak. So what do you do? Take out the Grunts with five well placed shots, weaken the Elites with a clip, and charge them with the Assault Rifle. So it's a great weapon to have. And about it being too strong..... well remember it has explosive ammunition. And if you have ever read the book The Flood, Captain Keyes takes out an Elite with about two shots when in the escape pod. An Elite with Active Camoflauge at that!! And besides, the Rocket Launcher, Shotgun, and the Sniper Rifle are all more powerful than the pistol. I think it's well balanced.

The pistol was so -blam!-, It was overpowered and extremly annoying.

And if im correct they repalced it with the Battle rifle, thats what the 1000 M$ tester guys said :?.

Keep it because it is good for taking out pesky Jakals!

P.S, i have beaten halo on LEGENDARY 20 TIMES, i should know!

I say it should stay... but it is to powerful, so it shouldn't have the scope

I admit the scope on the Pistol was a little wierd. Hey maybe it wasn't a scope and he was squinting really hard. I still think they should keep it. And I agree, the Pistol was good for the Jackals. (A little off subject but) I think the Sniper Rifle should be a silent weapon in Halo 2. In Halo, there wasn't much stealth with a Sniper Rifle that's two times louder than the Asault Rifle.

Also, there is a poll going on at www.gamefaqs.com. Halo vs. Starcraft. Lets all vote Halo so Starcraft does not win.
