In halo 1 the piltol would kill an unshielded or elite/spartan whose shields were broke in one shot if it hit them in the head.

Will the battle rifle do the same?

well they say that battle rifle resembles the pistol so maybe.

i hope it does. I would rather have a weapon in Halo 2 that is just as powerful as the pistol. i wouldnt be happy if they just took away the pistol and didnt replace it with somethin.

I hope not, then everyone will just use the battle rifle, I personally hated the pistols strength in Halo 1.

The pistol was over powering because it removed shields in two shots, and then a third headshot was fatal. Im hoping the battle rifle will take more shots (about 10) to remove the shield of the opponent and then have a one shot kill if it hits them in the head once their shield is gone! This will make it balanced but keep the realism of a headshot being fatal

Yeah the guys who won the Mt. Dew contest had a huge write up on their site about the gameplay. They said the BR wasnt quite as accurate zoomed in as the pistol, and the guy writing says he can only remember firing 6 zoomed in shots to kill someone, not three. I'm sure you can get head shots, but it'll be more difficult. Oh and the sniper has recoil, better get to aiming better, I hate snipers.
