i think, while the pistol is an extremely unique weapon to the halo franchise, it is incredably unrealistic, and bc of that, also overpowered.
the pistol is most likely based off of a desert eagle with an extended clip, but the thing is, that gun doesnt really shoot too far bc of the huge round, and the firing rate is also cut. the halo pistol displays none of those handicaps
now one could argue, it is 500 years into the future, but if u were to use that way out, wat about the ar? it is underpowered if anything, which is likely the biggest reason why the pistol could seem to be overpowered, if the ar actually had some decent power behind it, it would not be such a one sided choice on which spawn weapon to keep
the sniper isnt much better, it uses a larger round and still moves fast enough to leave a trail, whether this is intentional or not, it is still unrealistic.
while this all painfully unrealistic, one would have to come to the conclusion that this is indeed a video game, which doesnt have the best weapon triangles.

I mean it's just a game. A game which takes place 500+ years after from our current time. Unrealism in a video game is just simply the mixture of the designers' ideas and the futuristic scenes behind it.
