It all depends on what kind of game you want to play.
If you want a balanced game that is justifiably competitive, then the Halo:CE pistol is for you. It was essentially the best weapon in the game for mid-long range fights, but took excellent aim to use. Therefore, while most fights were between pistol-wielders, it was balanced since players spawned with a weapon that was useful.
If you want to play a game that is all about the GUNS, then I would recommend playing a game of Team Slayer with the SMG start. It starts you off with a virtually useless weapon, so that you NEED to find a better one to start killing. This is fine as well, but is frustrating for those who want to play competitively, since anyone can kill an SMG wielder when they have a sniper rifle. Halo 2 was more focused on the guns than Halo:CE, and this made it less balanced. This does not make it a bad game, but it does make it more frustrating to play at a competitive level. In my opinion, ranks would have done well to be left out of Halo 2, since there is so little real balance.
In this way it all depends on what kind of a gamer you are. Are you the kind that likes to jump right in and start killing with a very small learning curve? Halo 2 is for you. However, If you are the type of player that is all about competition, I would recommend a good game of Halo:CE.
