Mikespyke8:"Like your post is worth while. Ok. For you little pistol lover, and all like you, here is an explanation as to why.
The pistol is a sniper wanabe. It is unbalanced. In real life, would shots from a pistol kills you? Most likely no.
Unrealistic. I mean, how many pistols have scopes? Plus, you can't even see it.
And also, if it was included, they'd pretty much have to remove dual-wielding. Therefore....in conclusion...
PISTOL SUCKS.
Magnum better."
Yeah, his post actually was worthwhile. Yours is just whining about a good weapon and trying to put this guy down.
Ok for the first part, the pistol was a good weapon in Halo 1. You had a really good chance of surviving with it. Now in H2 they give you the SMG to start out with. No range, no power. No fun.
Second, I'd like to see you get shot in the face or chest with the pistol a few times and live to say that again.
For your third statement...the year in Halo is supposed to be 2552. It would be an insult to technology not to have a scope on a pistol.
Fourth, they wouldn't have to take out dual-wielding, they could just make the pistol non dual-wieldable.
And last, the Magnum is a joke. Magnums are supposed to be stonger than pistols, and in H2 you can barely kill grunts with them.
