sorry to complain Bungie, but i think the pistol is way to powerful, it's like "here, let's play slayer for 20 sec with a 900 caliber pistol, which is basicall a less-powerful sniper rifle .....what does everyone else think, too many people love it, (in my opinion), just becauze it's like, the 3rd most powerful weapon there is...

do u know wat ur talkin about. First of this is like 200 years in the future. Second of all the sniper rifle is more powerful than the pistol. ONe shot with the SR in the head vs. the pistols 3 shots in the head. The only ppl who complain bout the pistol are people who gets killed a bunch with the pistol and arent good with it themselves.

no, i am very good with the pistol, but people don't use it much, and take note, i said "the pistol is like a less-powerful sniper rifle..." but, even in *500* years in the future a pistol wouldn't be that powerful...but hey, Bungie knew what they were doing so i guess my thread was dumb, sorry people : (

Bungie actually admits that the pistol is too powerful and is tweaking it down for Halo 2.

I agree. Since when can a pistol outrange an assault rifle. I use the pistol all the time, because otherwise you get slaughtered by all the other people using them. It's kind of sad when people who don't play that much pick up a rocket launcher and get all happy, then you take them out with a pistol in 3 shots. Then they're always like, "That was so -blam!-!" and you're just like, "Yeah, but it was funny as hell!"

dude barely anybody uses the zoom on the pistol anyway. B/c if ur shot then the zoom goes back in and ppl dont waste time zooming back in because ull die in like less than 5 secs. man. But i own with the pistol it kicks ass. I never zoom because once u get shot(which u will) the zoom goes back in its more like a death wish to use it while playing against ppl who r as good as me man.

Granted that is useful thinking but ..... Theres a few thing about "plasma" or energy weapons that has been overlooked. But for simplicity I wont go into details. But theres a few things that projectiles(Bullets) can do that energy cant, and visa versa. For example; You couldnt absorb a bullet as well as you could so energy(w/ conductors and such). And bullets would be significantly more advanced in the future. I was actually wondering when I got Halo why the MC uses weapons like that, but the projectile weapons in the future could be way more nifty then the ones now.

But back to the topic. I agree the pistol is pretty much a WoMD(Weapon of Mass Destruction). Im glad that Bungie is tuning it down. But from what I've seen of that Battle Rifle it might be its new replacement.
