Is great pistol really not going to be in Halo 2. The battle rifle seems like a new favorite without it but it kills in 8 shots zoomed and 3 un zoomed.

The pistol is in but toned down a little because you have stronger shields, but there is a new pistol the magnum that can kill in two shots but is slightly less accurate.

A German Magazine called XBox Zone will have a Hands-On of the Halo 2 Beta in it.

Here is a Summary of the new Infos:

New Maps:

Midship - A Covenant Cruiser.
Ivory Tower - The Top of a giant Skyscraper.
Waterworks - The Stalagnites on the screenshots are destroyable, they can even destroy a Tank if they fall down.

New Weapons:

Covenant Carbine - A Covenant Battle Rifle.
Covenant Energy Sniper Rifle - As the name says.
Brute Shot - A mortar that fires 4 grenades that explode on the second impact.
Pistol - You can use 2 at the same time, thats the only info on this weapon.

There's no Magnum. The M6D is back, with no scope. However, there is a new zooming feature for it that I will not talk about. There will be no such thing as three shot kills because your shields are at least twice as strong.

Let me refrase that, no there won't be. The HBO thing is not very credible. I wouldn't believe that. Go read MLG, they even say it replacing the pistol is better.

There will be a version of the pistol in Halo 2 but it will not be as strong due to new shields, no scope, and less accuracy. This is what I think.

Dude you have no clue what you're talking about, if that's true, post a link. It's not true so don't post crap you have no idea about, there is no way there will be a 2 shot kill pistol in Halo 2, gah.

I'm not talking about that. I am getting information form someone that it testing the beta. And I'm no 12 year old that believes anything. He IS testing Halo 2 beta. And all his info is true. I know what I'm talking about, so don't tell me i don't. What I said is in the Beta.
