in Halo 1 the pistol, in the hands of an semi experienced player threw off the balance of the weapons because it could kill you so easily from long or close range.


Isn't that the point though? That a better player should be able to dominate? Thats the reason alot of people play, to get better

The pistol would not beat a shotgun up close(one shot) a plasma rifle or plasma pistol up close would also lose, because of the freezing effect which happens to be absent in halo 2.

The pistol was too strong in Halo. It wasn't what a pistol should be: a decent sidearm to switch to if you have to reload in the middle of a firefight or run out of ammo.

keep in mind that the h2 pistol is useless by itself, but is lethal when used as a dual wielding combo.

Yea the pistol was a little to strong for a pistol, but the magnum is a little too weak for a pistol, Bungie needs to make a pistol with a little less power than the H1 pistol and a 1.5x scope instead of the 2x scope, that should balance things out.

Nice idea, but I think adding just a little more power to the H2 pistol would suffice. C'mon, what pistol has a scope?
