It really pisses me off in HPC when people think they're all great because they use pistols. ANYONE CAN USE THE PISTOL IF THEY HAVE TO. You don't need any sort of special training/skill to use the pistol. You point and you click a few times, and then you kill another player.

Thank GOODNESS the pistol has been removed from Halo 2. Because of that, I should be able to enjoy Halo 2 for the PC, as I can own people with the Banshee, and I won't have to see anymore "pros".

Just my opinion, ftw.

To all the "pros" out there - consider this your warning. UNLESS U STOP UZING PISTEL AND USE NORMEL WAPON, I will destroy you all.

People who simply state that they are "pro" piss me off. A "pro" is someone who gets paid to do something. Maybe 0.001% of Halo players get paid to play.

What? Play a game? FOR FUN???
This concept of fun confuses and infuriates me!

What type of weapons do you like then? The heavy set?
Pistol is NOT point and shoot. You need to actually lead your shots, because of the netcode. Same with snipers.
People, heavys are "point and shoot" weapons, because all you need to do is point and shoot.

any weapon is point and shoot, you can't just point, and you can't just shoot, to kill someone. it goes together

people are pros with a pistol, they get really good with the ping and get 3 headshot kills, I got taken down when I strafed good, and I'm not talking where I go in a line.

any weapon actually takes skill.

Incorrect. Pointing a rocket at your opponent and shooting takes no skill.
And randomly lobbing FRG shots into the air and hoping it hits someone is not skill either.
I forgot about the flamer too. Its so overpowered and cheap, that all you need to do is knock out their sheilds, and the burn takes care of the rest. Totally lame.
Thats why im trying to figure out mapmaking, so I can finally take the power of the flamer, and drop it to near nothing.

Actually hitting someone with a rocket and killing them requires some skill now that the netcode's all screwy.

You see, the flamethrower may be overpowered, but the range is horrid, that's why it's overpowered. You just need to get it out of close range maps such as Longest and you're ready to kick some ass without getting torched.

The way that "Pros" piss me off is that they always say crap like "Vehicle noobs" or "Jumpers" and idiotic crap like that. How the hell is it noobish to jump while you're being shot at?!? Jumping is easier than hell, so why not jump when someone's trying to snipe you? And "Vehicle noobs", that's just retarded, if you're a real pro, then you would've sniped me out of that 'Hog before the equation of Rear bumper+You=Dead happened. Besides, isn't being a "Vehicle noob" just another term for someone who exploits vehicles to their maximum potential? Not to be arrogant, but you should see me in a tank, just call me the "Tank sniper". And people who do call people noobs are (Strange Yell)s who have nothing better to do than put people down or just generally be (Strange Yell)s. Just because we are noobs, doesn't mean that you have to call us one every two seconds.

I simply get pissed off by the fact that anytime you actually start doing well in a Banshee, someone will scream NO SHEES N**B, just because you are completely owning them.

The pistol wasn't exactly removed in Halo 2. It just became the Battle Rifle. Us pistol users can quickly adapt to that.

Consider this your warning.

lol dude please tell me you did note say you would own us with a Banshee...Lol...That’s All I can say about that statement...L...O...L. As for what you are saying, dude get over it don't get all mad at people that are better than u in different skills. The pistol takes a lot of skill to master and to call the pistol a noob weapon is way out of line. As for the "Pro" who mouths off just don't listen to them, they are your average moron who has no life and thinks that a video game proves something in life...Only thing it proves is they are losers who need to see that big flaming mass in the sky, the sun.


Oh and another thing for your Banshee statement, In Halo 2 remember Banshees will blow up as do all other vehicles so you can't just attack then run away when your shields are low then come back because your Banshee is invincible. Not to mention the lock on rockets, due to these and other factors you may as well strap your self with C4 and ram it into the other base cuz lol you won't last that long unless you are a "Pro" in the shee.

If you were talking about my post, i see your point. But i was talking about Halo PC, not Halo 2. But again, i see your point.

Thier are still going to be pros in Halo even if the pistol is gone. I guess your going to make a protest on the sword as well?

They are great. Pistols are meant to be used. From reading between the lines, you're stating that you think that the pistol is an unbalanced weapon for noobs. Any intelligent, competent player will use the pistol. The pistol is meant to be powerful like it is. If anybody can use it, why don't they? Why do stupid players shoot at me from fifty meters away with the assault rifle while I three shot kill their asses with my trusty pistol? If anybody can just point and click with the pistol, why don't they use it? They don't! Any respectable player will use the pistol.

People who use pistols effectively have every right to think they are great. Consistently getting three shot kills takes skill.

And the pistol is awesome. Don't diss the pistol and pistol users, because your logic is flawed. And what is a "NORMEL WAPON"? An assault rifle? A plasma rifle? If you're playing a game where your enemies are using pistols like the smart people they are, and you're wielding an assault rifle or a needler, then you're going to get owned. Face me one-on-one, you use whatever "NORMEL WAPON" you want, I'll be sticking with my pistol. And it's like people don't use other weapons besides the pistol. The shotgun and sniper rifle take skill.

First of all if your playing Halo 2 Live or when it comes for Pc you'll get the same thing done to you with the Battle Rifle. Its three Shot kill to the head. And like ppl say you do need "Skill" to be able to kill someone with a Pistol on Halo Pc becuase unlike halo 2 were they have a sweep thing that lock onto head. You actually need to aim and lead your shot for them to hit. And running someone down with a Banshee may be fun but is very very annoying to ther players.

omfg you reallly sound like a n00b a banshee does not take skill at all you have fuel rods in it that can kill multiple people at once and it takes no skill whatsoever to run someone over with a banshee, warthog, and with the rocket launcher, all you do is point it in theyre general direction, and in a crowded game, usually killing about 4 people with every shot, in maps like derelict and longest, noobs like you piss me off, especially when theyre like, "pwned u stupid noob" right after they run me over in a banshee when i get theyre health to 1 with a pistol, oh and btw, -blam!-, i challenge you to a banshee fight.

oh yeah, and in halo 2 there is a magnum, which is EXACTLY like the pistil, is even stronger, and faster which means you will be OWNED by pros about a second after u see them, noob

The banshee takes skill to use. The fuel rod bomb does not fire semi-automatically like its small arm cousin, and isn't as overpowered, majin.

oh yeah, and in halo 2 there is a magnum, which is EXACTLY like the pistil, is even stronger, and faster which means you will be OWNED by pros about a second after u see them, noob
You're the noob, play the game first because you obviously don't know wtf you're talking about. The magnum fires twelve bullets yes, and it does fire faster, yes, but there is no 2x scope, and each bullet is much, much weaker than the M6D pistol's. Don't be ignorant like that, it makes you look like an idiot.
