While everything I have seen about halo 2 looks great. I'm concerned that bungie is trying to level the playing field to much. I have seen no screens or clips with the pistol in them. I hear that it will be included, but in a weaker version than the original. If this is true it is a blow to the current elite players out there. The pistol is the weapon of choice. I hope that this is not the case. Is anyone else worried about this, or is it just me?

The Pistol is made for people new to Halo. I say this because of its strength, ammo clip integrity and it has a 2x zoom. Clearly this weapon was made for people newer to Halo to make it easier on them.

How is this relevant to the topic?

When people think of Halo, they think Blood Gulch. Because the map is that cool. But based on the environments we've already seen (Lockdown(?), Burial Mounds, Waterworks, and Zanzibar) it would be slightly out of place in Halo 2. Hang 'Em High is a very cool map though, and the skills open to players in H2 wouldn't be as limited.

I don't think everybody whose an elite player uses the pistol the most. call me immodest but ive only met two people who can beat me on a regular basis and i hardly ever use the pistol, my choice combo is the assault rifle and plasma rifle. I do think the pistol is a little cheap but thats probably just cause when ever i go toe-to-toe with my friend and we both have pistols he kicks my ass. change it, don't change it, i don't care i'll still kick ass with it powered up


P.S. Sorry if this post was completely irrelevant to anything. Sue Me

can i pick more than one? I loved blood gulch and hang em high. anyway if the pistol isn't in the next game, I don't care.. I haven't heard any complaints from anyone at E3 because there was no pistol. If it's there, great. How do we know there won't be something just as good or better anyway?

I'm on a team that plays in tournaments. From everything I've seen the best players in the nation prefer to role with the pistol and sniper. I have seen TDT, SDK, STK the teams that always wins the tournies use those weapons exclusivly.

exactly, everyone that gets his hands on a pistol in multiplayer online USES it most of the time, personally i use it 90% of the time, and if im not its a split between the shotgun (smaller levels) and sniper rifle (blood gultch)


to answer Steve O 3000, the battle rifle is supposed to replace the pistol and assault rifle, combining them into one basically, except that the new battle rifle doesn have fully auto.....only 3 round bursts and a single shot mode

Thats my point too. It takes skill to kill with the pistol. Once you learn it, it's deadly. Every noob I know that rolls up on someone else using the pistol. BLAM! Death to the noob. I'm afraid the BR just won't be the same, and all the elite players will suddenly be noobs! All the skill and time put in on halo will be useless in halo 2.

actually i disagree with that any noob will -blam!- elites in Halo 2, i read somewhere that people found it very easy to switch from Halo to Halo 2, and i really do think that the battle rifle single shot mode will be the same as the pistol in most ways

The pistol will still be there. However, it will have no scope, and the slugs will be 30% larger, kinda like a magnum revolver. Read the books, they are done with info directly from Bungie
