no ya see the other weapons werent perfect and so since the pistol was it looked l;ike it was overpowered: it is not a 1 shot kill like the sniper but it doesnt take half a clip like the ar it has good accuracy etc

It's also been stated by poeple who've played the MP that the Battle Rifle isnt as accurate as the pistol when zoomed in. In fact he said that the smallest amount of fire he can remember firing to kill someone was 5 or 6 shots, not 3.

You cant be better than perfect... therefore agian the pistol is over powered.... they could of atleast of not made the rounds explsive... maybe a little... but a pistol should never pack that much of a punch

the mag packs more of a puch you see thats why they can put it into H2 because all weapons will be perfect they can have really powerfull weapons without them becoming newb cannons, so pistol = perfect not over powered not under powered

Thats a good thing.... I dont want to be killed that fast! you need to have some skill! being killed so fast isnt fun. and the pistol is to accurate... halo needs to add some recoil!

You just got owned by the pistol and thats why you think it is over powered :) but in reality most pistols that fire 12 milemiter shells that are semi armor piercing and explosive are pretty powerfull, and besides wouldnt human want the most powerfull weapons they could get their hands on?

DOWN WITH THE PISTOL!!!!!

They said you're a pistol-betch, whatever that means.~WebMaster
The Original 7717 ILBs Posts...

The pistol could take down a tank in multiplayer with one clip... the only other weapon that could do that just shooting at the tank NOT the driver was the Rocker Launcher. The pistol sucked because a (forgive the word I am about to use) noob could pick it up and just pop of shots. Atleast with AR or plasma weapons you could dodge the shots. The pistol was a instakill with one 12 round clip no matter where you shot it. And why is it the BR needs the big ol' scope when the pistol barely had a scope, and they both got the same amount of magnification. I would like to see the pistol gone and replaced with the Magnum... a ten round slower shot, but more powerful shot, without a scope. A pistol is a side arm, not a main weapon. And don't say I don't like it because I got "owned" by it, because I don't like it due to its lack of weakness. All other weapons had weaknesses... the pistol didn't.

I'm pretty damn good with the pistol myself, not that I've been tested on anyone but my friends but I'm top one or two in my group when it comes to it, and I agree that a weapon is too good when any game that has it means that everyone has to use it.

Example. We play CTF Blood Gulch a lot, as a lot of people do. When the pistol is in this game, you have one of three options. Pick up the Sniper Rifle and snipe, pick up the shotgun and guard the base, or run around shooting the pistol. No other weapon is necessary, hell you could go without the damn sniper rifle if you're really good, and still take out a shotgun wielder with effeciency.

The pistol forced players who didnt even like to use it to become proficient with it or they were slaughtered by people who did use it. I like the pistol, cause it's in the game as it is and it's powerful. But if I had a say before Halo came out I'd have wanted it to be less overpowering than any of the other weapons.

Play CTF with just rifles, that's a damn good game there.

sorry guys..but the most devistating kill is the punch.
I can be lighting someone up or vice versa..if your close to him, hit him with the butt and hes down like a light..used to fustrate me to no end when I first started playing..and still does.

There will be a pistol, yes the magnum. It will be black, no scope, with a 10 rounds clip.

Have you even read any of these posts? IMO, the anti-pistol people have a very good reason to argue.
