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.
