im talking about why there is a four vs three shot kill and that the pistol was taken out because it would have been useless against the new armour type

So, you're saying a more powerful pistol was taken out because of an "armor upgrade", that would render it useless? And then it should be replaced with one that is weaker?

Dont get angry, the difference of the armor in the campaign in halo 1 and halo 2 has no connection to the way the weapons work.

If Pistols come back, it will ruin the game and become a new noob combo. Please bungie, I beg of you, don't listen to these hardcore noobs, take out the noob combo and don't put in the pistol!!

Bungie wouldn't listen to a single person on these forums, and in all honesty, who could blame them?

halo 1 = no noob combo with pistol

halo 2 = no pistol with noob combo

Explain to me how this works?

Sure Pistols are powerful, but they are restrictive as to your firing speed. Magnums are weaker, but faster, so when you pump 20 rounds into an Elite it's so much more satisfying.

Face it. Magnums are just more fun. 'funner' if you may.


I probably might have voted for the magnum if they hadn't decided to weaken it. But now it is the suck. Plus, who doesn't love the extreme inexplicable accuracy of the weapon with the shortest barrel in the entire game.

I actually wiped my xbox completely the other day and I played some SplitS with all the original factory settings. I had to melee him so many times. They still haven't gotten the grenades or the shotgun right. Both need a shot in the arm. The shotty in CE instilled so much fear but now it's just..... meh.

P.S. It would not make a new noob combo by bringing back the pistol. What do you think you are doing when zoom in 2x with a BR and ping him in the head after hitting with a PP ball? Same difference. You could do it in Halo 1 too, there just weren't all these little weenies and 8 year-olds complaining.

Not to mention the increadible upgrade in homing the PP received in halo 2.
