What do you guys think about bringing the pistol back into the game?
Not the Magnum....but the leet 3-shot-to-the-head pistol from Halo 1.
Generally speaking, pro's have to have it, and n00bs hate it.
The pistol in my mind is an equalizer. If someone's sitting on the sniper tower with a sniper and you have an smg, well....it's just not equal.
See,if the pistol were brought back then you could defend yourself no matter what the opponent had. Let's say your opponent had a SR from across the map,with the pistol you could zoom in bam-bam-bam...dead. Leave a comment please.

BR can't shoot as fast

How about a compromise? They could put in a rifle that shoots faster than the battle rifle but takes 4 shots to kill....so its almost as good as the pistol...without being insanely good...

You just say that because you're not good with it.

well.. if you're going against the host (BR v. BR) assuming that the host is the same level as you are, then host will win. That's why there's a pistol

Well the BR is 3 round burst whereas the pistol is single shot as well as having a smaller clip size, so it really isnt that much faster

If you're accurate with the pistol it will own the BR.
If you have a copy of Halo 1, use the pistol, then use the BR on halo 2
Tell me which you think shoots faster

Well with the pistol there was 4 potential kills in a clip, in the BR there is only 3. Consider that all 12 rounds have to be fired and connect before a kill can be achieved with the BR. These are factors in making the BR slower than the pistol, because you have to make sure all the rounds hit and you have to reload more often.

The pistol, but only because it was fully auto.

Don't bring back the stupidly-overpowerd pistol. It is retarded to have a pistol that can shoot accross a map. Have a rifle, perhaps make the BR better, but not a pistol.

I think the Pistol should be brought back cause Noob or pro everyone was good with it and could get kills and I agree the BR is too slow even if your good with it

I'm not trying to take the power of any of those weapons back. All I'm saying is that it would be an equalizer. I mean think about it, if I had rocket and sword and you had the pistol then you have a chance at winning. If i had rocket and sword and you had an smg then the chance of winning is dramatically dropped.

Guess what? The H1 Pistol is never coming back. ::laughs maniacally::

But in all seriousness I will admit this is a very new and intresting topic. Personally I don't think it's talked about enough.

Yet another biased unsupported sentence from you.

By your own definition the "pros" must have little skill since they rely on one weapon.

Therefore I declare you pwnt.

Just stop, don't try to debate a pro. They are obviously so much better then us at Halo that they deserve to tell us how we should be playing the game that we paid for.

Why do you think they degraded the pistol? because of it being the best weapon in the game, it's unbalanced, the pistol is good at long, mid and short range, name another weapon good at all those. None, have a pistol vs pistol fight against the host, what's the difference there between a br vs br fight? I used it in Halo 1, and I hated it so I started using worse weapons. It's a sidearm, do you know what sidearms means? s.i.d.e.a.r.m, the weapon you got in reserve when you run out of ammo for your main weapon.
