The reach Pistol is pretty powerful, but I feel your pain. I would say that the closest that we will ever get to it is actually the DMR.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Sometimes, Epic fail and Epic win are the same.

Honestly, I could never imagine Halo: Combat Evolved being as great as it was without that Pistol being as powerful as it was.

I actually like the Reach pistol. It's really powerful, but, not so powerful it's no longer a pistol. Combat Evolved's pistol was great, but, way too powerful. It didn't even feel like a pistol. The pistol used to be a main weapon and ever since Halo 2 the Battle Rifle/DMR have taken it's place. If I had a choice, I'd choose to keep the DMR instead of the pistol. If I want a Halo: Combat Evolved experience I'll just jump on my PC and go to town.

I think I would grab a MD6 and a Shotgun I just can't not have the anti flood gun you know.

Due to some e-mail dumbness, my GT is not the one listed on my profile. My GT is the same as my board name.

People look wistfully at the CE Pistol, but I've really only got eyes for the CE Assault Rifle and CE Shotgun. Ah, the Shotgun... back when you were awesome, instead of just above-average.

And IIRC the Pistol's later-game counterparts (BR, DMR, Reach Pistol) intentionally have longer kill times to help compensate for lag issues... dunno where I read that though.

I remember when I would easily dominate Elites with the CE pistol. Now, I use it has a grunt weapon. Sigh....

The Halo 3 pistol was a joke.

At least it wasn't as bad as the Halo 2 Pistol. That thing wasn't worth anything other than killing grunts.

I feel that it was balanced, just fine.

It isn't as accurate as people think it is. I find getting headshots are sometimes more easier when I don't zoom in. There's times when I had the crosshair on a Elite's head while zoomed in and got several body shots and then landed a headshot rather than a clean headshot. Also, it's not very effective over long distances.

And it doesn't feel overpowered as long as you land headshots. For me, it only feels overpowered when I use it to land bodyshots.

What I mean is that it felt overpowered for being a pistol. Overall it worked great with the way the game worked. They did wonderful with the pistol. It's just that it shouldn't have been a pistol, which, is why they replaced it with the Battle Rifle in Halo 2.

The only reason it's considered overpowered is that some people are jarred by the pistol aesthetic, which is unfortunate because I actually like it.

The BR was always as prolific as the M6D, and the DMR/Nerfle only isn't because of the lack of DMR spawns and the obscene accessability of power weapons in Reach.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

The CE Pistol was equivalent to a Rocket Launcher. Devastating, yet simple.

i loved the CE pistol.i took down a hunter with two shots to the weak spot once.


It took you more than 1 shot to bring down a hunter? Man, you need some serious practice. Don't waste ammo!

  • 01.27.2011 7:19 AM PDT

What you see with me is what you get. I would rather be hated for what I am than loved for something that I'm not.

I am who I am, not who you want me to be. Your approval isn't needed and your opinion isn't required or desired.

Yeah the Halo CE pistol was the best!

Could have been a typo. A shot to the weak spot is always a instant kill, unless he shot the Hunter from the front... that could be why.

Or the first bullet might have hit the armor rather than the skin.
