I've heard many a rumor that the pistol has been removed from Halo 2. Can somebody tell me if this is confirmed by Bungie? Or is it an evil lie?

Rumor Bungie has not confirmed one way or another.

It goes out in the horse it rode in on. And in comes, the Magnum. Guaranteed to tear even bigger holes in Covenant foreheads.

There probably will be a different pistol (may be the so called "magnum" or it may not be), but not the old super-powerful, super-accurate, tank cannon that was in the first game ; )

Edit: Any way, with the BR/ carbine you won't be needing it.

I hated the old pistol, mainly because I could never get a three shot kill with it. It was way to easy to kill with that gun, and I'm glad its either gone or weakened.

In the books, in the Fall of Reach (in the books they only use weapons in the game and they used the Magnum)

They don't, the magnum was pure speculation that people got from the books. (you weren't being sarcastic were you, I can never tell...)

In the book First Strike the spartans find new guns. The battle rifle and the 'magnum' pistol.

Quote parsons "no comment"
-to the pistols return

I'll take that as a no.

And the lucky devils who won the mountain dew contest said that the pistol was nowhere to be found! It had been replaced by the battlerifle.

Mabey if you beat the game on legendary it will unlock it???
That would be cool

there will be a pistol, called magnum, it will be black, no scope. I think it also has 10 rounds per clip.

I am pretty sure a lot of stuff have not made an apperance in screenshots, for example viechles, new weapons and stuff. They cant show it all :). We like SURPRISES, dont we ? ;)

The pistol was unfair. A couple quick headshots from half a click away and you were a corpse. No weapon could stand up to it, in terms of sniping, not even the S2-AM could beat it. It was like holding a cannon in your hand.

Ah. Darn books causing me so much confusion. I'm only gonna pay attention to what's on the Weekly Updates from now on.

I was upset but then I realized the Battle Rifle is better and almost the same. It has a scope, and a twelve round clip. The thing that is better about the Battle Rfile is that it has burst fire when you are unzoomed.
