ok right, this has prob been spoken about countless times before but i am new to the forums.
When i call people a Noob for using pistol, i either get a response along the lines of 'Theyr'e part of the game loser' or 'yeah i agree sorry'.
I think that pistol is the biggest noob weapon ever, it only takes 5 body shots with sheilds and without sheilds 3, and i think it takes no skill to hold down the trigger and blast off a whole clip at someone from the cliffs, and expect them to have a chance when they have just spawned. Some people use pistol ALL the time, and they just run up to you shooting and WIN when you have selected skillfull weapons such as the plasma pistol and shotgun.
Sometimes i feel the only way to beat them is to join them.

I don't think it's noobish at all to use a pistol. People that are good with them could take down a fully shielded player taking only three shots. There is no problem to using one online, and it does take some skill to use one. It's not like the pistol is a rocket launcher, which are extremely cheap to use against people on foot. There is no reason as to why it would be "noobish" to use a pistol.

I agree with Muskets. Infact, most noods dont know the worth of the pistol. It can be prety hard to kill people in three shots and it actualy shows scills to be able to do that.

i also agree with muskets and cheesemaster. you know, if you tap the mouse with the pistol it is actually much more accurate than simply holding the mouse down.

the pistol might not be the most balanced waepon in the game, but it is the best all-around weapon. always have one.

How long have you been playing Halo online??????

Pistol battles are the most skillful aspect of this game. Learn to aim, use cover and strafe erratically to dodge some shots if you're getting mudered online. If you think the guy on the cliff is just holding down the trigger then you are seriously mistaken. Holding down the trigger makes your shots completely inaccurate. The cliff on Bloodgulch I assume you're referring to is also well within reach of frag grenades if you spawn at base. Chuck some grenades there and move up to his position while keeping the spawn camper supressed with your own pistol fire and the help of teammates.

Bloodgulch is a huge map made for long range combat. That means pistols and snipers. Take your plasma pistol and shotgun and camp inside the base or a cave. Switch to a gun with a scope if you plan to go outside.

trust me on this one, the pistol is NOT a nooby weapon. it takes skill to carefully land your shots on the opponents, so it does take skill.

im sorry if i offend you, but i just cant hold it in anymore. i keep reeading your post several times and it gets me mad. i hate it, just hate it when n**bs keep saying "you noobzor!!! stop using pistol on me!!!" just because they are losing. if you have like 50 more kills than your opponent who has a pistol, im pretty sure you wont be complaining right now. your ONLY reason of saying you think the pistol is nooby is because your just frustated of being killed everytime by your opponent. that means your opponent is skilled, unless you suck.

so what? if you think the pistol is too good, and too nooby, use it yourself!!! oh wait i forgot, you obviously suck at using it. at least people take their time to practice on it, i bet all you do is go on servers yelling at people who SKILLFULLY kill you with the pistol.

so go take a hike, or start respecting the pistol a little more. you have some nerves to make an account on this forums. as you know this is the MAW FORUMS, which means that it is all about HALO PC. DO YOU UNDERSTAND??? pistol may not be too balanced of a weapon, but it is one of the best in Halo PC servers. my suggestion: stop playing halo multiplayer, but if you do, dont you dare call pro's a noob again just because they owned a n**b like you with a pistol. simple whining immature people like you shouldnt even EXIST.

exactly what im trying to say, omniospartan. thank you.

im pretty sure if the shotgun and the AR shot med and hell, even long ranges powofhalo would call THOSE nooby weapons as well.

i hate n**bs who always picks up and uses big buffed-up close range weapons, like the flamethrower, rocket launcher, fuel rod gun (ill count fuel rod, only because it is inaccurate at long range), and the all famous, the big ass SHOTGUN. just so you know powofhalo, THOSE are nooby weapons, NOT the pistol. if you complain one more time, even one more millisecond on this forums, i swear the God, first ill contact the ninjas, then ill hunt you down in real life.

I basically agree with what everybody just replied to this thread here, except Ipjuunin.

First of all, you're usually timid in posting your opinions by saying stuff like "i'm sorry if it offends you" or "you might not like this" but now you act as if the guy said "ZOMFG I HATE PISTOL N00BZ0R5 I THINK EVERYBODY WHO USES THEM IS A NOOB!!!!!!!!!!11111111"

Second of all, noob is not a curse word. So stop saying noob with asterisks censoring out the O's.

Thirdly, a true player would cover all his bases and easily overcome those who use flamethrowers, shotguns, flamethrowers, etc.

Fourthly, he did not complain. And there's no reason for you to contact the ninjas, because I'm pretty sure he did not say anything against the rules.

Fifth, work on your grammar. "i swear the God"? Seriously.

all right fine, ill have to agree on that one master kim, im always making sure to "try my best in offending the other guy as small as possible" as you said, i am very timid of writing my opinions. i dont know if its a good thing or not being timid on the forums and stuff, but enough about that.

yea, i did go a little hard on him, and yea true, he didnt complain, he just posted his thoughts. but still, i get mad when people think a certain skill-needed weapon is a nooby weapon. sorry about that master kim, and powofhalo. but i just thought he should understand the differnce of skill-needed weapons and nooby weapons. but ill apologize anyways.

and yes, lol i censored out the "noobs" like i was some retard. please excuse my fast reactions and all, becasue i thought "noob" was an offensive word on this forum. =/

sorry if it offended you powofhalo, but i hope you realize the true potential of a pistol. and im sorry master kim, for being so hard on him...and im sorry if it offended you in a way too, hope were still cool Kim

You've never really used the pistol, I can tell. It's not cheap.

The pistol requires you to keep a bead on their head for three shots, simply squeezing the trigger down will waste ammo due to the kickback. Please make sure you realize what you're discussing before posting.

Me15ter, alert Iggwilv to change his job of keeping your leet in line. He also needs to keep Master Kim's in line. Or maybe I should do it... *Cracks knuckles*

The pistol is good but the same thing can be said of the sniper rifle, the rocket launcher, grenades, the fuel rod, and even vehicles. No weapon is "overpowered," though the pistol does seem to be quite strong.

Yes, I agree. And you're improving your typing I see. Capitalized letter at the beginning and a period at the end.

No, but seriously. The pistol is the most balanced weapon, not a noob weapon.

I realize it says that the usage of the word "noob" is forbidden in the stickies, but everybody uses it all the time.

*smacks Kim is the back of the head with a large iron skillet*

Anyway, the pistol does take skill to use so I wouldn't consider it a noob weapon. HOWEVER, I agree with about one thing. I can't stand players in a Blood Gulch CTF game that get on the big hill and rack up kills. Depending on which team they are most of those kills come from people coming thru the port or people respawning at the blue base. They never make an attempt to go for the flag and always use the excuse "I'm covering the flag carrier".

dude, you need STEALTH

for those of you (like the completely oblivious people in the village i live in) who dont know what stealth is, it is the art of which you use shadows, obsticals, and camo pickups to launch an unexpected attack on others. it kicks ass to the fullest, and because it is so swift, the enemy will die almost 90% of the time--no matter what weapon they have. and the people who carry pistols will be smited with SHAME... hehehe...

So are you saying that the pistol is a noob weapon?

What weapon do you intend to use when you carry out a sneak attack? Because I'm telling you- there is no way people are just going to let a guy with an assault rifle try to take them out with stealth when they've got pistols.

You say there's a 90% chance of overtaking your opponents, but is that reliable information? Did you research that? Or did you just spit out a random number?

My point is that you state the obvious. Stealth is a good tactic. But you state it in the completely wrong way.

AND STOP DOUBLE POSTING FOR "THE LOVE OF GOD"! It's called the "Edit" button. Please. Use it.
