Subject: Pistol Noobs in Snipers Server

In high definition baby!

Like when I joined a game called (X) Pro-Snipe, I hate it when people use pistols! Its for noobs. I always use Snipers in a Sniper game. Why do they even put pistol in there gametypes?

"Pistols are for noobs?" If I got a nickel for every time I heard that dumb phrase, I'd suffocate in my own filthy richness.

Pistols are not for noobs, they take practice and patience to use effectively.

Also, why do they put pistols in sniper servers? Simple, because even the best sharpshooters in the U.S. Army and the U.S. Marines carry side-arms, and the side-arms are called a pistol. What if you run out of sniper ammo? What if the enemy is too close? You need the pistol for those situations, FYI.

If you got a nickel, Ipjuunin, for everytime you heard that phrase, you would be very poor. It's not said very often and even then only be a special breed of stupid people.

The pistol is not a noob weapon. It's a precision balance weapon that takes skill to use. If it's such a noob weapon that's so easy to use then why don't you ever use it, noob?

True, but trust me, I have heard many complaints how the Halo1 pistol is too "noobish" and how easy you can shoot someone 3 times. That was just a phrase saying I've heard enough of this nonsense to start saying this phrase.

The pistol is no noob weapon. It is the weapon I use the most and God's gift to Halo players everywhere.

Hehehe, first of all, you call it pistol whores, second, those aren't noobs, they simply like using pistols, and pistols are classified as small snipers, so don't whine if they beat you up with them, anyways, don't take it so personnal, it's just a game...

[EDIT: Forgot to say, pistols have scopes.]

What he said. It's just a game. If they start pwning you, and you get ticked off, pwn them back. Just don't corpsehump the whole game, you'll die faster than you can type "omgz0rz".

Try getting the triple headshot with a ping of 400.
THAT takes skill.

There's no such thing as a "sniper server." There are CTF servers Slayer servers, Team Slayer servers, Oddball servers, Race servers, etc.

Some have only scoped, non-HW's, (sniper rifle and pistol).

I like to break up the boredom on so-called "sniper servers" by seeing how many 'nade kills I can get, or getting in a hog or ghost, going to the enemy base and taking their flag. They're usually so focused on sniping the distant players that they don't watch the base much.

If they complain about 'nade spamming, (how do you spam with only 4 'nades– especially against someone who should be able to kill you with one shot if he does it right?), or about using a vehicle I call them bullet whores.

pistol takes skill. I had one bar of health left, and I kept side scanning at a guy while firing to kill him, one final shot got him. I also survived his nade (thank goodness for lag!)

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.
