I think it was fine and use it all the time. I was really annoyed when i got halo 2 and the pistol was s**t. What are your thought on the subject?

I think the pistol was overpowered because 4 shots could kill in multiplayer.

Sure it was overpowered, but we all liked it that way. If you were skilled and you had a pistol, you were never mismatched. The biggest mistake from Halo 2 was to get rid of my beloved M6D.

Carrots.

I agree, but the pistol, in campaign was better, I say its the best over-all weapon.
I mean, in a fully loaded pistol, you have about one hundred and sixty shots, and you can realy hold your own with the zoom, and the melee folowed by two pistol shots is a favorit, but I still think it should have been de-graded so that it was less powerfull in multiplayer.

Do you feel what I feel, see what I see, hear what I hear?
There is a line you must draw between your dream world and reality

i thought the pistol was fine. it (from what i noticed in various LAN parties) really was only a killer at medium range. If someone was far away the spread was too much, and if they were close an AR and a melee and you were toast. Or a good ol' shotgun to the face always worked

Hey. If you have nothing to add to the discussion, -blam!- off.

Actually it's 3, assuming we're talking about headshots.

It was a great weapon. It looked, felt, and acted in a way that was brilliant, satisfying and unique to this game.

I wouldn't have opposed reducing it's strength to a 4-shot kill though in multiplayer.

i think it was pretty well balanced. it was great for grunts, the best weapon for flood carriers, pretty good for little flood, the only thing that works at long range for combat forms, so-so on jackals (there are many better choices, but it works), a little overpowered against hunters (i would have made it kill in 2 or 3 shots, not 1), terrible against elites (unless oyu use a charged pp shot before it and it works ofr camo elites) and pretty bad against vehicles (maybe banshee, but AR is better) i think it was a little too stron in multiplayer (maybe kill in 4 headshots, not 3)

I loved the pistol. It's my main flood weapon but I keep a shotgun backed up just in case.

Why is everone talking about changing its power on multiplayer? Thats the worst idea ive ever heard. You cant just change the power of a weapon to suit different players. Its like having a menu at the start of campaign choosing where you want the enamy to be. Its completely stupid!
