The pistol makes Bloodgulch and any large map fun to play. I find it funny how so many people say it's an automatic sniper. The gun functions like the Battle Rifle in Halo 2 and I never heard anyone compare that to an automatic sniper. Get over that fact that it looks like a pistol and it's slightly more powerful over a BR....like every other gun in Halo 1.
Ditto, Fatso. I never understand why people who whine about the absence of the M6D in Halo 2 can't seem to get the concept that it's been replaced by the battle rifle.
The pistol is a balanced weapon in terms that it is the equalizer. Anybody can get one, and in most games you start with it. If someone has a shotgun in close quarters, sure he has the advantage, but that doesn't mean you can't quickly turn around and three shot his head. Can you do that with an SMG or a pistol against someone who has the sword or shotgun in H2?
And although you have a point, Johnny, it's Halo! Science-fiction, lolzors. And it takes place in 2552, so maybe pistols will be that powerful in the future (although I can't understand why the AR is so underpowered then).
