There is no confirmation that the pistol is either in or out, but it will more than likely be in but in a lesser form than in Halo: CE. If you're getting spawn camped at BG, here is some suggestions..
1: Melee when you spawn and strafe right off, don't stand there like a dumbass. If you melee when you spawn it ducks your head, makes it harder to score headshots.
2: Learn how to use the pistol, if someone spawn rapes me the next time I go right at them and 9 times out of 10 I kill them.
3: Don't play BG, it's for n00bs, play a map worth playing. BG is only good for snipers only battles and no Elite player alive likes the map, then again no Elite player likes vehicles either so whatever you like.
Do not dis the pistol cause you get spawn raped or because someone is better than you with it. Players who play in tournaments, go out and advertise Halo, and are a lot more important than you, want the pistol in so it will probably be in. I respec the fact that you don't like the gun but it's more than likely cause you blow balls with it and can't outpistol anyone you've played with. You also need to understand if you are joining on XBC you have a 2 shot lag over the host. In other words it could take him 3 where it would take you 5, it's called pistol lag. So practice cause it will be in Halo 2 and if it isn't another gun that will require as much skill will be in that you will get owned with, so just practice. Don't dis something because you get raped by it, just get good enough you stop getting raped because it's gonna be happening in Halo 2 as well. The spawns will be a bit more random and you won't be raped as much then, but that will have nothing to do with the pistol being in or out. I spawn -blam!- a lot more with the sniper than the pistol, most good players do, so please don't say you want them to take the sniper out too. Saying you don't like something because someone rapes you with it just makes you sound like a n00b.
PS: If someone is spawn camping you with a PISTOL instead of a SNIPER at a map like Blood Gulch, from a ledge even.. then they suck and you should be able to stop them pretty easy.
