The pistol WILL be in halo 2, but it is nerfed like a mofo.

i played mp with my 4 years old bro and he killed me with 3 shots to the head with a pistol , ULTRA -blam!-!


haha, i doubt it. with normal shields and health, it takes about 3 shots to kill someone with the sniper rifle, which is many times more powerful than the pistol.

No, actually, 3 pistol head shots is about right... =/

it'd be stupid to totally get rid of the pistol.

What, would the UNSC tell Master Chief that the covenant complained about his M6D, so they'd have to confiscate it? WTF?

1st of all i want to kinda point out to all the -blam!-s who don't like all the weapons that they are....well.....-blam!-s. Now i just want to agree with sum1 i read, dont know who, that the pistol is a noob weapon. Not that i dislike it, I've just played to many people that its all they can do. Very few people ever take the time to master everything. It's just a lack of devotion and love to and of Halo, and an act of the weak to use (and only be able to use) one weapon.

I know bungie had said that they would be tightining up the handeling on the warthog. Didn't they also say that there would be a power brake now for those of use who liked to fishtail it?

i read somehwere that the worthhog wont slide as much. cant remember where... probably xbn


Yes they stated in OXM as well as the MTDEW winner thing that the hog wont slip or slid unless you want it too.. there is also a hand brake.. just for us "driv3rs" out there.. THANK YOU BUNGIE!

Oh and we suspect that the pistol is going to be replaced with the "magnum".. no i know what youre thinking.. 'Dirty Harry' Magnum??? no more like desert eagle.. commonly known as deagle.. leet.. now mind you this is strictly speculation, and taken mainly from the book First Strike.. make your decisions accordingly

Griph you are complaining about the pistol and your avatar has Master chief dual wielding pistols. Ironic?

Pistol, or as it may be known from the books the magnum, may be in the game or it may not, we will find out when its released. After all the Dew guys we're playing the E3 demo game and thus didn't get a look at all the weapons in the game.

If the pistol is in then it will likely be weaker than it was before. Partly because you can dual-wield it and partly because (like it or not) the pistol as it was in the last game made the game very unbalanced. That unbalanced factor of the pistol would be worse in Halo 2, as dual-wielding would make you capable of killing someone in two shots. Balance in Halo was one of the key factors in the game that made it great, further balance will improve the game immensely.

On another note I kinda like the kickback idea on the sniper rifle, it decrease the all-to-often cases of spawn camping; plus the added bonus of even more balance.

you have to admit it was pretty -blam!- that you could kill the best of the covenant with a pistol. i mean that is just sad.

I think the pistol should kick when fired, and/or lose the full auto. If that happens, it would add to the realism, and only real good players will be able to kill with 3 head shots. But I think Bungie should put the Magnum, and HE pistol in Halo 2.

I am 95 percent sure that the Magnum will be in halo 2 and that it will be more powerful (it is a magnum) and allmost as accurate but have low clips and low ROF. I am 79% sure that the HE pistol is in Halo 2. Allthough i hope that with the flag you can put it into a slot on a vehicle and then drive: like on a warthog you have a little ring on the side and you can slot the flag into and then you drive and but when you get out you need to go around and grab the flag and i hope they dont do that you have to hold down X thing

Does anyone besides me think that Bungie might(with high emphasis on might) have taken the pistol out of Halo 2 because we relied on it way too much in the original? I've got through all of Legendary and I only used the pistol when it was the only weapon I had the entire time to see if I could do it. Was it hell? Yes. Did I die? Countless times! But it is possible. My point is that we all at some point or another have placed our success way too much in the pistol. And believe me, when Halo 2 is released, and there's no pistol, I won't give a damn because there are so many more new weapons for me to use. By the end of the game I'll probably be saying "Pistol? What pistol?"

The pistol i think will be back but with modifications, and the warthog will be 1. Improved Driving 2. It can roll around and you wont fall out or so

Plus you could tell these guys werent the extreme extreme Halo2 fans who have read the books several hundred time each and get 90% or higher on the know it all halo test, cant remember where that was, They got a few things misnamed here and there, like how they called the Spartans marines.

All you have to say is that the pistol will be toned down from the original. I don't really care though, it will make for some more interesting gameplay instead of the repetitive pistol matches at Blood Gulch and Hang 'Em. I liked the pistol, but I feel whatever Bungie does in the end will be really badass and well balanced.

Yea but just becaused it needs to be balanced doesnt mean it needs to be less powerfull, like the pistol was allmost balanced except that there was no other weapon like it, it could only kill 4 people if you didnt miss, good accuracy, etc, and if ya cant dodge pistol shots you dont deserve to be complaining

The Pistol is still in the game, just toned down a little bit. i.e., no scope. Don't trust the Dew winners write up, alot of that stuff is grossly false. Take them saying you can dual wield the battle rifle. Even you guys, who haven't played yet, know that that is not possible.

Also, the pistol just isn't on the Zanzibar level. It's on plenty of other maps. By your logic, we can conclude that there won't be tanks, banshees, shades, and all that other stuff that isn't on that level. Chill out guys.

OH come on !
I played through all maps i could with pistol only , even on legendary . its the funniest weap in the game . Parts without pistols or pistol ammo sucked :( . Really hope I wont have to go through all of halo2 wivout even one pistol :(


The Trueth and Recon. was the best level in the game, and it didn't have a pistol at all =]

I ran threw that level with the AR/Sniper Rifle Combo on Legendary XD

VTW, it's not good because it doesn't have a pistol, I just really like the level... Though, it's not really hard anymore....
