So blackeye, are you saying that any noob can use the pistol, if it doesnt take any "special training or skill"? One of my friends got Halo pc recently, and cant use the pistol for -blam!-. I almost always use the pistol for any situation. It's decent at close range, and great at middle distances. How would you suggest taking out a banshee that is too far for a shottie? Use plasma pistol/rifle, or needler? All of those suck, especially against a shee. Sniper? Unless you hit the right spot, the sniper does little to no damage. Rocket launcher? Any decent shee player could dodge it. AR? Maybe, but the shee would probably take you out before you could kill him. Fuel Rod? Hard to hit a shee with it, can be dodged. Flamethrower? Another short range that cannot hit a distant target. Plasma nade? Again, you have to hit the right spot to kill the driver, if you don't it only hurts him. There is nothing that takes out a shee at long range better than a pistol, except maybe the laag gun on the hog.
The Medic, the banshee is pretty easy to take out, especially if they hover and bomb you with the FRG or if they try to ram you. If they hover, just pistol them and they die. If they ram, use a shottie or stick it with a plasma nade. Also, would you rather use a rocket or sniper at close range? Any decent strafer could dodge the sniper, so I would use the rocket.
