Hey, just a thought but i wanted to know what all of ya thought about the pistols in H2, i have seen about 50 50 to and against the pistol being in H2. Also should there be a covie pistol that fires overcharge type shots but they move faster. I mean yea sure you could do that with the Plas Pistol but should there be one that fires those only kinda like a covie magnum. Or do you think that the magnum (more powerfull than the origanal HE) will replace it. Vote and post your reasons.

a covie gun that shot overcharged plasma like the Plas Pistol but the shots moved faster, that way it would balance the Magnum

The original pistol will probably be in H2 but toned down, Meaning without the zoom and probably a bit less powerful.

The pistol IMO should just lose accuracy and the scope.... It can keep it's three shot kill, just make it pretty bad accuracy (since a gun without a barrel = horrible accuracy anyway).

But officially, nothing has been stated yet weither the Humans will have any type of pistol....

"Help Help I'm being repressed! Come and see the Violence inherent in the system!"
"Bloody peasant!"
"Oh did you see that? you saw him repress me?"

The problem with it was, was that bungie gave it a zoom when that short a barrel it should be less accurate than the AR! With no shields it only took a head shot to kill someone and that was pants! The reason people believe that they'll have the magnum is that its in First Strike and all the weapons seen in that book are in the game <brutes, BR, etc.> I hope that the make the Pistol less powerful or give it a poor accuracy, and make the BR at least 5-6 head shots to kill someone, as thats where the shield is most concentrated!

oh, and BTW... The first two shots didn't have to be headshots... two body shots will still take down the shields to the point the third shot (which must be a headshot) will kill the player.

I have no problem with the power of the pistol seeing as it shoots exploding rounds... but the scope makes it too much if it was exactly the same with no scope that would be good.

Why change it at all? Well maybe make it less accurate, but toning it down? WTF? How the hell can you tone down a .50 caliber High Exposive Hollow Point round? The only way I can think of is get rid of the HE part. But with the shields and armor being stronger making the weapon weaker would be pointless. The same goes for replacing the thing.

Another thing. WHY THE HELL DOES EVERYONE -blam!- ABOUT THE M6D AND WHY DO YOU ALL BASE EVERYTHING OFF OF MULTIPLAYER AND NOT CAMPAIGN MODE?!!!!!!! GAH!

(apologies for the caps lock, but this really pisses me off)

Infact, the pistol and the AR were probably the same accuracy when it comes to barrel length. If you fired a pistol bullet from the ar it probably would have gone way better than the pistol. The problem is 1) it was a rapid fire weapon 2) the bullet didnt have enough of a bang to it. since the pistol bullet had a bigger explosion it went straiter while the AR bullets didnt. That contributed to the AR not being a good accurate weapon. On the whole i would say that the pistol was the most realistic weapon in the game, Because 1 headshot will kill someone it is just a matter of taking their shield down. Like if you walk up to someone and shoot them in the head they die, the same hold true u just needed to take their shields down.

i had no problem with the pistol i would like to see it back with no change. maybe a little less accurate or like 4 shot kills or something but liked it the way it was.

just my opinion so dont flame

also for people that dont think that there will be a pistol in halo 2 just think about all fps what one doesnt have a pistol of some kind? i think that it is a rule with fps's that you have to have a pistol

just my 2 cents.

I think that the idea of a covie overcharge pistol would be kinda cool.
Hey do we even know if the Plasma pistol will be able to overcharge????

Well sorry, but i disagree with that. Most people have completed the game on legendary and they mainly play MP now. If i want SP i'l go play a new game where i can immerse myself in a story line i don't know like the back of my hand!

Well I read in an article that the pistol will still be in the game only it doesn't have a scope anymore. Also, who thinks that when Halo 2 comes out, do you think there will be hardly anybody on the site?
