... Alright guys, I need to point something out- and get it painfully clear.
In the old Halo the Assault Rifle and Pistol were your starting weapons most of the time. Bungie noticed how odd it was for your pistol (a smaller gun) to be so much better than the much larger Assault Rifle. That makes the game horribly unrealistic so technically, the pistol turns into an Assault Rifle and the Assalt rifle turns into the Pistol.
1.)Pistol turns into a much larger Assault Rifle type weapon- and keeps almost all of it's original qualities.
2.)Assault Rifle changes into a smaller pistol type weapon. To make the new Assault Rifle better, dual wielding is added. It also keeps almost all of it's original Assalt Rilfe qualities- just smaller.
So now, in Halo 2 things are much more realistic. The bigger gun is more powerful, while the smaller one is weaker, and is dual wieldable. You see, the pistol and Assault rifle are back, just with a new skin and a couple of new features.
I hopes that clears things up for you guys.
Yea, makes sense
