ah my friend.... you are a truly good halo player... you know why? because you have the desire to be that good. i was like you pistol was my worst weapon. and then after awhile i am now the unquestioned best among all of my friends with it. So, here is how i believe i got better with it.
1.sensitivity on 7-10
2. REMEMBER! the first 2 shots don't matter if they hit in the foot or the head. they do the same damage. if the third shot is in the head, it's a kill. because the first 2 shots hit the shield.
3.strafe, it's all about them not hitting you.
4. tap the trigger, don't hold it. it is MUCH more accurate.
5.SEE THE ENEMY BEFORE THEY SEE YOU. I have never lost a pistol fight when i got the first shot off. A good way to do this is keep your eyes open, see as much of the level as possible at all times. Look behind you, etc.
6.if your going to practice on campaign, then aim for the head on grunts. later, you can aim for the elite heads, they are harder to hit. playing the campaign to get better is not recommended, you only get better by playing peeps that are better than you at lan parties.
7.never. stop. moving. ever.
8.don't jump or crouch, crouching is priceless in close combat (shotgun) but don't do it with a pistol.
9.don't play frusturated by your skill, use it alot and feel comfortable with it at all times, be able to use it close range and still pwn with it.
10. don't ALWAYS use scope learn the right times for it.
well, that's how i got good. not to mention hours upon hours of playing with it.
