Subject: Halo 3, The return of the Halo 1 pistol!

Each time someone stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope. That hope is three little numbers: 1 - 1 - 7.

There is hope in us all. We gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face. We must do the thing which we think we cannot do; stand with the Master Chief and Finish this Fight!

Why oh why am I writting this as my fever is getting higher and my nose is like a battle zone between the Flood and the Snot!

Anyways just read a long thread as to why the pistol should not be in the Halo 3 game, I am going to defend its rightfull place in the next Halo game and try to explain why it was such a great weapon.

First up, for those of you who are called "pistol-whores" and who use the gun as a primary gun, good for you, you have develped a skill by which you could kill a Spartan in just 3 head shots, or 5 if you are a little inacurate. Althought Bungie did admitaley overpower the weapon somewhat, the skill required to get a kill at a long-distance is extremely high, thats why I think that the pistol is hated so much, not everyone knows how to use it. Plus the scope which allows you to zoom makes it a very leathal weapon, and the origin of the line of fire cannot be seen easily.

This is why I treat the pistol as a semi-silencer cause its good at long - medium ranges but at close up its a relative innefective weapon, should you lose your cool and not get the 3 bullets in the head required for a kill.

But it does not stop there, the usage of the gun is also a brilliant Anti-Sniper gun, for of you Camping Snipers out-there, the pistol was a brilliant weapon to take out the Sniper of any given team in any given situation. Sure now we have the BR but the caliber of the bullet is what makes the pistol a unique weapon, one that earns its place in the Halo 3 list.

The BR being loud, failrly detectle, The pistol was a much more leathal weapon, one that cannot be understimated under any circumstances in any given map or situation. Flame if you will but know the more you flame me, it will undeline the fact that you indeed fear the pistol!

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.

Let me answer this with a big fat, NO!!!!!

ok I think you made some good points but it just isnt that realistic that a small handgun could push a bullet that far to need a scope

There is going to be no pistol in Halo 3. Everything is subject to change. But I'm sure that piece of crud is coming that it's not coming back.

I'm hungry.

Even so, the scope is what made the pistol the one of the post leathal weapon in Halo 1. Ok so maybe the same weapon but with-out the scope should be incoporated in the Halo 3 game, but I can almost imagine the Halo 1 pistol going toe-to-toe with sword in Lockout and the pistol coming up as a winner!

I personally hated the gun because it was THE gun, making it so you were pretty much forced to use it all the time if you wanted to live. It just got boring after a little while.

Nobody who stated that they don't want the Pistol to come back really justified their statements. The Pistol made Halo 1 balanced because everybody started out with it. I don't see why there's a problem with it. It wasn't the best weapon in any range. It was just a good weapon at every range.

Guess what? you have no skill all you can use is the pistol because all it takes is 3 -5 shots to kill someone which is pathetic when you think about it. Please tell me why the pistol was the only weapon used in Halo 1 and lets see it could beat every other weapon because its a noob connon so of all things the BR and the Halo 1 pistol will not be added to Halo 3 for one simple reason there garbage and the new AR will replace them both so there suck on it!

Let me get one thing straight here, I hate spammers and calling me one is like hitting me with a white glove filled with snot across my face.

I have read the threads and all of the condenmd the pistol to never return to the Halo games because it was indeed the most used weapon to get a kill with at long - medium range distances. I am here to defend it because : a) I loved the pistol, b) it can be used equally as a primary or secondary gun, c) its brilliant to take you campning snipers and also it irritates the hell out of them, d) it can be used in any given situation and e) if used rightly it can turn the tide of ay game situation on its head.

That to me, sound like a powerfull sidearm to have!

The Sniper Rifle can kill people in one shot, so by this logic, the Sniper Rifle also doesn't take any skill.

No it won't

Assault Rifle will act like it used to, and the Pistol // BR is coming back HOPEFULLY taking more skill to use ::

Rifle Skin
4sk
Hardly any auto aim like the Pistol
2x scope
Faster rate of fire
Halo Pistol Range


Believe it or not, Pistol takes far more skill to use than a Battle RIfle, due to it's faster ROF (You need to learn to sidestep more) you need better aim, since there's not much Auto Aim, and the Beatdowns take more skill, since there's no auto-aim induced lunges.

You might hate it cause you suck with it, or people used it too much -- but that doesn't change the fact that the BR is far easier to use.

Thank you for listening.
That sniper must have been a bad shot. That pistol is underpowered. The pistol is .50 cal, armor peircing, and high velocity and had a scope. Don't give me shi7 about balance, realism for me. That thing should be able to level someone in a shot or two, and one in the head.
