Oh Yeah Megan Fox! And Final Instinct are pr0

Why don't we go for that Halo 3 has the AR, BR, And the pistol in the game so everyone could be happy. Is this a good comprimise?

Yes, a compromise.

They should do with the pistol what they did with the Fuel Rod. Have the original pistol in Campaign, not for multiplayer.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

No Halo 1 pistol, it;s to overpowered.

Okay, but the Pistol was only great because everybody started out with it. It gave everybody a good chance to fight back. If you don't spawn with the Pistol, then there's really no point in having it. By the way, it's spelled "Jackal," so you might want to start a new account.

I wouldn't mind if the pistol were there...

A lot of people thought it was overpwoered...what they don't realize, is that all you have to do is strafe and crouch over and over again to dodge it.

Umm, Zawaz? That's never worked for me. I don't think just moving and crouching will just delete the pistol's effect. And guys, I made a thread for this kind of.

It worked for me...the trick is to strafe, crouch, and jump, but at the same time, throw grenades and move closer to the enemy. The closer you get, the harder it is for them to shoot you (because you seem to move faster when you're closer) and they'll end up backint into a wall where you can finish them off while they listen to your evil laugh...it's great...

The Halo:CE pistol was what gave the game balance and made it last so long. The battle rifle is a marginally successful counterpart, but cannot compare due to the auto-aim placed on the weapons and the increased amount of shots needed to kill. Overall, the Halo:CE pistol was not overpowered, but a balancing agent in the game that made control of the power weapons less of an issue. Halo 2's gameplay is centered around power weapon control, which is fine too, but overall, Halo:CE was a more balanced game because the pistol could be effective in many situations, unlike the SMG which has an effective range of 6 feet.

Hmm, well, that might have been Halo 1/CE/ Combat Evolved. But I doubt the same physics will be in Halo 3, as well as the pistol, and the AR.

Why don't they just have the BR and the AR and then everything is good. cause the BR is basically the pistol, only its hetero-blam!-

The Battle Rifle is a good replacement for the Pistol, but it has too much aim assistance and bullet magnetism. The Pistol was good because it took more skill to use than the Battle Rifle.

Well in the Halo 3 trailer, it looks like the Assault Rifle has returned.

Sure, it'll work, but keep the pistol only in campaign or something like that.

Why? The Pistol will make Halo 3 balanced (as long as everybody starts with it).

are u stupid, the reason the pistol is ovrepowered is cos its a -blam!- handgun, it makes u feel bad cos ur killing people so easliy with a hangun, and he strugling to hurt u with a bad as assalut rifle, (refereing to halo1)

so now You should be feeling better cos the gun ur owning people with actualy looks and feels like a badass weapon, not a punny ass handgun

The skin of the weapon that you're using is irrelevant to the balance of the game. It isn't overpowered just because the skin of that gun is a Pistol, and judging a weapon by the skin of that weapon is pretty superficial.
