They (might have, nothing has been confirmed by bungie about its removal) took it out for the reasons you said "It was good for everything!"
The only problem I have with Halo:CE multiplayer is that it is basically a pistol war! Now with the removal of the pistol people are going to experiment and find different favourite weapons, and use different weapons in different situations!
For example, now when you see a guy at close range you may pull out your plasma rifle instead of your pistol. Then a few seconds later you see a guy at medium range so you pull out your Covenant Carbine and pop off a few rounds at his face, again instead of relying on the pistol! This creates more variety and, IMO makes for a better gaming experience!
