[22:08] [JohnHoward:] The Halo 1 pistol wasn't a mistake...
[22:08] [JohnHoward:] It was also intended to be the ultimate hold out weapon...
[22:09] [JohnHoward:] I always believe that balance is about giving each weapon / ability / whatever it's own perfect situation.

LMAO!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!! Wow I've never seen such stupidity in my life!!!
An actual .50 caliber Barret M82 sniper can accurately hit targets from just a little over a mile away. That's 5280 feet if I'm not mistaken.
An M-16 Carbine only has a maximum range of 460 meters. Which comes out to be around 1500 feet.
Titanium's specific heat is 520 Joules per Kg by Degree Kelvin. Do you know what that means? One kg of Titanium needs 520 Joules of energy to rise a degree Celcius/Kelvin. Millions of degrees could vaporize Titanuim easily, so what's stopping Plasma in it's gaseous form? How the heck can MC fire a plasma rifle without vaporizing himself? He can't. Halo isn't realistic, thus it does not need realism.
Don't try to feed me useless information.

If you think the BR/Magnum would even be able to come close to battling a sniper than you are delusional. I'd hope the sniper could slaughter someone from a distance. There should be no equal to it in range! There doesn't need to be balance for every gun in the game, especially the power weapons. They're there for that one reason...to be powerful! If you have one no one should be able to kill you as easily as if you don't. Just like if you have the sword there should be no close quarters match, other than the rocket or shotgun.
If the BR had the consistent range of a sniper would you even pick one up? I doubt it. Especially when it can be used more diversly in conjuction with another weapon. Why use a BR and sniper when you can have a BR and Shotty/Sword? With either of those you could be perfectly effective at long, medium, and close range. How it is now is fine. You have to choose which two of those three ranges you want to work with. You can't have all of them.
Listen, You haven't mentioned teamwork at all in your post. Power weapons should be useful when teamwork is applied to them, not just by having them. You make it seem like power weapons are meant to dominate the game. That's a load of bullspit. My team should win because we have a strategy that involves using the resources that we can gather and using them to our best efforts to win.
Saying that a team game would be better off without teamwork is that very stupidity you were just laughing at, my friend. Don't call me stupid.
