In every Halo2 screen shot I dont see any M6D Pistols so i started 2 think r they gonna bring back the almighty pistol in halo 2 or r they gonna let it go. I hope they bring it back cause over all weapons da pistol is ma favorite and that would really suck if they didnt have it in halo 2. So do u halo fans have any information on them bringing back the good old M6D Pistol in Halo 2.

Is the pistol your favorite because its cheaper than a shotgun in close range and out snipes a sniper rifle?
If this is why then, no they pistol will be sodomized and given back to you. or -blam!- raped and discarded

I dont see a purpose in a magnum, its the exact same as the pistol from before. they both shoot tank rounds. but a magnum is HELLA slow and innacurate plus it has no scope

It is called balancing.

The pistol is the best gun hands down u might say diffrent but its only because u are using it wrong. If they dont have it in halo 2 thats gonna suck but halo 2 shud still b the best game ever even without my favorite gun.

the m6d will be back but less powerful, no scope and no knockback but ull prolly be able to 2 dual wield, i also think the magnum will be in the game too excep you prolly wont be able to dual wild the magnum cuz its way powerful and it will hold fewer rounds

of course its called balencing, but lets weigh the pro's and con's based against a single SMG
The pistol would be meant for close range becuse of the lacking scope and innacuracy. same with the SMG. Each magnum bullet is about 5 SMG bullets, but the smg can get out about 9 or 10 per pistol bullet. The SMG's clip has 60 bullets where as the magnum has 8. and in close combat with a weapon that slow your bound to miss 4+/8 shots when your only going to miss 20+/60 SMG shots which is a kill
Sure its balencing. but it waesnt done well

And dont say "But the Magnum gets a 12 round clip"
Because then its not a magnum

If their going to get the pistol back, it should be no scope, short to medium range, round should be very powerful like more powerful then the BR. Also it should kinda stun the enemy because the point of a pistol is defensive and uses stopping power to take down enemies. It will still kill an enemy but u should take the shield down to make the pistol much more effective. And yes it should be dual wield because come on its the MC, he's a spartan, recoil like a twin magnum will be nothing for him.

Bungie's official answer to all questions relating to the return of the M6D.

" No comment. " (and said with an evil Bungie-wants-to-say-but-can't grin)

So we don't know. Until we really do, trust no one's unofficial answers.

unless its my unofficial answer...read on.

the pistol and the AR were left behind in the dust when bungie added dual weilding. they realized the AR should be dual weildable, like the plasmarifle, but the pistol should not. so, they made the SMG, a single handed AR, plus a higher ROF. still has 60 rounds.

but the pistol....oh! you havnt noticed yet! is the BattleRifle. it has a 2x scope, and its ammo count is 36 rounds, but its shoots in three round bursts. meaning you pull the trigger 12 times before you reload. 12 is also the number of rounds in the H1 pistol. and for balance it shoots single shots when zoomed and the three shot bursts means you cant abuse the autoaim system for 2mile away headshots.

and there will be a new pistol, too. we dont know what it does, or how good it is, but probably on par with a plasma pistol.

you obviously didnt read on...

they even found a new better pistol in the books. theyll use that instead. and its called a magnum. and you have stronger armor, now, so guess what? the new magnum is going to be weak as hell. its going to suck balls. there will be no good pistol...other than the plasma pistol!

I think if they leave the pistol th way it is halo2 is going to be halo1 all over again wity diff maps. The pistol was cheap and was the weapon of choice of every player. And since it was soo good it reduced weapon diversity therefore reducing the fun.

there isnt a magnum in halo 2.. they just have a pistol but it was toned town a little and they took off the scope and it takes out less damage.

Better yet!

WE DON'T -BLAM-ING KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL OF THE OLD WEAPONS AND WHAT ROLES THEY'LL HAVE IN HALO 2!!!!

So drop it. We don't know and all theories are void until proven otherwise by Bungie, the source of Tru7h.

(pardon my -BLAM!-)

unless you use a little bit of 3rd grade math and half a brain, and listened to what bungie has said, and dont run into forums and yell "you dont know anything", then, yes, we can figure out what is 80% true going to be in Halo2.

if you dont have a clue, then leave.

oh, and other guy who said
there isnt a magnum in halo 2.. they just have a pistol but it was toned town a little and they took off the scope and it takes out less damage.

why would bungie do that. or any one. why would the army decide that the pistol should have less powerful bullets, and the scope built into the MCs eye should be unused, as well as getting attacked on earth by the ultimate killer slaver race...

i like the idea of your armor being better, and so they discarded it, but your armor is so good, its still seems weaker...makes sense with a story[something bungie is known for].

1) this topic is talked about too damn much
2) the battle rifle has, or if it hasnt should be, deemed the new pistol
3) Some guy said something about halo2 being halo with different levels if the pistol was back that would be true
4) Why would you replace the pistol, the best gun in the game and choice weapon of just about everyone, with a magnum.
5) The pistol wont be back with it being toned down cause like some other guy already said why would the maries downgrade a gun when you are at war.
6) Having a pistol or magnum would bring a gun total to like to many
