The pistol was so stupid. The BR served that purpose much better and more logically. A handgun with a zoom that's arguably the most potent weapon in the game? No, I never liked that.
if not the pistol, than an equivalent weapon...

BR + TSK (or FSK, doesnt really mater) + WAYYYYY Less Autoaim/Magnetism + Range

Yeah i loved the marine pistol in CE and the battle rifle in 2 but i really hope they can make it so that we can turn off autoaim and or tracking or whatever they call it. The only weapons that should find there targets if you arent dead on is the plasma pistol charged shot, the needler and the rockets when set to homing. Other than that i want my shots to only hit when im actually on target if that means it will take me forever to kill one grunt so be it but thats just the way i feel about it.

I know i hate how unrealistic halo was i mean, the vehicles never blew up and the rifle was unaccurate but the pistol was very accurate. ges i hated halo 1 but halo 2 was soooooo much better. the guns were 20 times cooler and becasue they made every gun equal to each other i didn't matter which weapon you got because they were all good. and if they bring back the pistol they better not make it good again becasue thats not realistic like the game is suppose to be.

Well if the AR is back and the BR is out, I'd like to see a burst feature added to it for long/medium range and a 2x scope. If the Br is still in there then its fine just the way it was in CE.

I agree, the pistol was too poweful for what it was, the Magnum was a much more realistic gun and the battle rifle took care of the "I need a gun with a scope that i can still use effectivley in close quarter combat" mold way better than the CE pistol.

Well, if you say the AR is crap, I suppose you can basically say the SMG in h2 was total crapy too. Hm? I do agree about the pistol, I am a halo ce fan, but I really don't think a pistol fits into the primary weapons area, they really should stick with a rifle, it brings out a more "manly" MC, if he had his ity bity pistol it would look..uhm.. weird.


I really don't understand why people didn't like it simply because of it's shape. It's a video game, who cares? Besides, being in the shape of a pistol it took up less room on the screen. To me that is a good thing.

Is this a joke? Every gun isn't equal. If they were what would be the point in having more than one gun? The needler isn't the same as the SMG. The SMG sucks compared to the BR. The BR sucks compared to the rocket launcher. The only weapons you could say are alike (but not the same) are the two snipers being alike. The carbine being like the BR and the PR being like the SMG.

*NODS VIGOROUSLY* and in Halo 2, not taking up the screen was a VERY good thing!
