the pistol was my favorite weapon in halo 2 it was good for everything the flood,lond distance,close distance,elites,and even hunters if you hit them in the throat.I was reallpy pissed when they said they would be taking out the pistol why in the world would they do that?

Too powerful, but don't worry, every FPS I have ever played had a sidearm in it. I'm sure Halo 2 will as well.

yeah I'm actually kinda relieved that it has gone because of the battle rifle...I dont want Halo 2 to be like Unreal Champoinship...er, maybe it's Tournament...I dunno...

Because it was an extremely unbalanced weapon. It was too easy to kill someone in 3 shots with it.

By the way, you know you can shoot Hunters in the back with the pistol, its a lot easier than trying to shoot them in the throat.

sure but i dont know if anything can replace such a weapon as the pistol, it was the side arm of choice and a snipers best friend..

Once you play Halo 2, i doubt you'll miss the pistol.

Where the hell did you hear anything was gone? Who told you this? Bungie? No I didn't think so. Tell who said this so I may give them a lesson they'll never forget.

The idiot that told you it was gone will lose his tongue and index fingers for this.

Let me at 'em! C'mon! Where is it?! Where's the fool?!!

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!

The important thing here is; have you heard it from Bungie studios?? I doubt you have because the official word from Pete Parsons on the pistols removal was "No Comment"

everyone liked the pistol because it was so damn strong, too strong for a pistol and it even had scope. i think bungie made a great decision to take it out, but if it's gonna be replaced by the magnum that's a mistake because technically the magnum would be even stronger, so what they should do is just weaken the pistol.

If the pistol is taken out for sure theres most likely a Magnum now to take its place. It will have no scope and be less accurate. If the pistols not taken out then it will be less accurate and will no longer have a scope.

Calm down Hikaru, he was agreeing with what I said about Halo:CE being a one weapon game for a lot of people in multiplayer!
And dont worry I said about Bungie not confirming anything about the pistol! =)
