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.
