It's almost a definite that the pistol will NOT be returning. The entire point of replacing it with the BR was because the average person never expected the pistol to be more deadly than a large weapon like the assault rifle. Therefore, the Battle Rifle was put in it's place, and it felt potent, like you could actually do something with it. The pistol won't be returning because of that one reason. It's a marketability/appeal issue.

Second, I'm not sure how many people would enjoy an assault rifle acting as it did in Halo 1, unscoped, and acting as a BR, when scoped. I would actually go for secondary weapon functions, by pressing like down on the D-Pad or something to switch the functions. Still, having an AR be like that would make both the BR and SMG meaningless, because it basically does the same thing as both of them. If this were the case, then there should only be one per map, preferably in the center so that both teams had a chance to go for it.

Nothing personal...

The BR and SMG would still have a use. I'm sure the BR would out-range the theoretical AR, and two SMGs; or another combo, would do better close-range.
