I went over to xbox.com to see if i could get anything new about halo 2. I came along an interview with peter parsons ( correct me if im wrong.) It was pretty interesting even though he couldnt give away much and then there was the question about the human pistol. Peter said no comment and then laughed. Now i know i shouldnt be worried but i have heard nothing about it and havent saw any screens of it or anything. It was without a doubt the best weapon in Halo? So what do u think? Is it gone or should i not worry and just wait till Nov. 9th?

It, personally, was one of my top three weapons. KEEP THE PISTOL I've seen some posts that there's a good chance of no pistol. But here's to hopin'!

I hated the pistol.

It was the best weapon, by far, but it wasn't nearly as cool-looking/sounding as it played.

Don't you notice that the battle rifle seems like the new pistol?

It was way too powerful. Three headshots!? With a 12.7 mm? No way. Sure it is a great gun, but it should be toned down a bit. That is where the BR comes in. You get a scope, plus 36 single shots, not to mention the 3 round bursts.

The pistol is the gun of the Liberals!!!!!!

The pistol took the fun away because you got too many people abusing its power....like some freaky runaway russian country with a nuke!!!!

I'm guessing it's being replaced with the scopeless(I think) Magnum pistol from FS

I hope they bring back the

Colt Magnum from the 1840's

That'd be hella cool

first of all, i am a leberal. so suck my left nut. Dick.

anyway, i liked the pistol, but it made every other weapon obselete. i think it should be kept in halo 2 but toned down so it doesnt make everything else useless. if a game is made properly, (and i am NOT saying bungie did a bad job) then a player should have a really hard time deciding what weapons to keep or not.

libreal bashing bastard.

The Battle Rifle seems to be the pistol on sterroids. It is the pistol's daddy. Just like the Plasma Rifle (El Fudgedero as my Halo buddies and I have dubbed it) was the Plasma Pistol's (The Fudge Maker) daddy. If it's gone, I won't be too upset. I will just boycott Halo 2 for about. . .five seconds.

The Pistol was the silliest weapon ever. Why the heck would the pistol, which isn't even carried by marines, have a scope and be so ridiculously powerful. It's carried by the command crew of all people and was never intended to see combat on the battlefield.

Further, it defies basic science and doesn't follow the rules of ballistics but I'll only go into that again if someone asks for it.

Think about it. The Pistol was a mistake. It should have been a rifle from the very beginning. Bungie realized this and has made the correction. Those of you who want your pistol still have it. It's called the battle rifle.

New game. New guns.

I think the pistol should return to the game, but only this time with no scope! Bigger rounds and smaller clips! Either way, I think the pistol should return! Because in halo 2 you should be able to carry two guns and a side arm!

They haven't released pictures to a lot of guns! Like the shotgun, I caught a glimpse of it, but it looks like it still a pump! Sure hope not, I am hoping for full auto shotgun. But there our a lot of guns out there, that they are working on, that we have no idea about! We will just have to wait and see.

I'm glad to see it go. The battle rifle looks about... 17 times cooler. Just think about it. What is the master chief wielding in every cut scene? The assault rifle.

I think Bungie wants you to use a gun that looks as cool as it cooks.
