They should bring back the Halo CE pistol in the form of the BR(single shot), because it doesn't make sense for a pistol to have a scope and to be that powerful.
The problem with Halo 3 is that there is no reliable mid-range weapon, therefore dumbing combat down since the only way to get consistent results is to be in close range. This is in part due to the BR sucking with it's ridiculous spread and packet loss.
If Bungie gives us a single-shot, 2x scope weapon that kills in 3-4 shots and has a Halo CE pistol-esque RoF that has no spread and is immune to packet loss, then mid-range combat will be consistently viable and the game will be more fun and challenging.
I'm not saying it has to be overpowered, either. The Halo CE pistol still could lose at close range to rockets, sniper, and perhaps the shotgun, and could lose at long range to the sniper. The beauty of it is that the pistol-wielder always had a fighting chance, but the power weapon-holder had a slight advantage, but not to the extent of Sniper/Laser/Rockets vs almost anything in Halo 3.
The M6D was supposed to have explosive bullets I think. Thats why it was so powerful.
