The Halo CE pistol was a very potent weapon,and the reality is that it was almost too powerful. The H2 battle rifle replaced the Halo CE pistol; their stats and strengths are very similar.
So, in Halo 2 SINCE the BR took the Pistols place (IMO beeteedubbayou) they needed a pistol, and the H2 pistol was born... And we all know how that turned out. It was very, very weak, and would only be useful to shoot someone without shields (and even then it took a couple rounds to put them down).
So in Halo three they brought back the power of the Halo CE pistol, but put it on a gun without a scope, and it kicks like a mule. Don't get me wrong, for Halo 3's gameplay, it fits. But, again it is a very useless weapon.
ODST, I think, they finally made the pistol very well. It was not overpowered, it was very accurate. With the scope out of the equation, I would still view the ODST pistol as a very balanced weapon... It could possibly fair well in a multiplayer situation... SO if they choose to add a scope to a pistol and add it to Reach, I hope it is the ODST one, as unlikely as that is.
