let's stay away from the "unrealistic" and "stupid" side. Pistols are very powerful, but I just don't see a war game making it a main weapon. Take Battlefield 2 for example. Or Counter-Strike. It's a secondary handgun. Used when you need to reload the main weapon but have no time to, or you're out of ammo. Never should a pistol be a main weapon in the game.
Maybe you forgot the full title of battlefield 2..."Battlefield 2: MODERN COMBAT"!!! We're talking halo here..space..aliens...would people quit with all the comparisons to modern warfare games..the only thing they have in common is that they're FPS. As far as the pistol goes..here's a few points.
1. Everyone spawns with one, there is no unfair advantage.
2. 3 shot kills are alot harder than you think...alot of these Halo2 only folks would have a hell of a time trying to pull it off, so quit acting like it happens all the time.
3. I've taken down many a pistol weilder with any of the folowing weapons...Shotgun, AR, Sniper, Rocket Launcher, Needler, PR, and even the little PP, so quit making it seem like the people who have the pistol are invincible. If you still feel they are, refer to point number one.
Please, if anyone disagrees, do so referncing those 3 points
P.S. This is not meant as a flame on anyone
